We expect our analysts to come with brains as standard - so you will understand analytics, have experience with coding languages, have significant experience building statistical / data science models & used a suite of visualization tools - but we look for curious individuals that have a passion for data and analytics, that have a desire to learn, who want to help businesses use their data better when they make decisions, and are able to package up their analysis in such a way that even the most non-technical audiences can grasp complicated methodologies. The role will be client facing, so a winning smile and an eagerness to do the leg work to get under the skin of a business problem is also key.

- You will be involved in all stages of the analytical process from spec’ing out what data you may need, data cleansing, visualizing data, modelling and delivering the final results
- You will work closely with the client team as you go through the project - from gaining domain knowledge, regular updates and final delivery
- Your projects may vary from 4-6 weeks or 12 months: dependent on what type of arrangement we have with our client. On longer engagements you will cover a number of different projects
- You will work on client site and at the Analytics office, so you need to have flexibility on coding languages & analytical infrastructure as not all clients will have all of the tools
- You will be key in building up strong relationships with our clients - so you will need to be confident with day to day interactions with clients, expressing professional views, participating in public speaking and opinion pieces to build reputation as required
- You will be proactive in looking for improvements and suggestions for innovation - essentially becoming the client’s secret weapon
- You will be an active member of the analytics community - working on initiatives to increase the knowledge of solutions and techniques across the department, and to improve working practices
