Turn data into decisions that directly impact revenue, pricing, and performance.

We are hiring a Data Analyst for a 6 month Fixed Term Contract to play a key role in transforming how a major UK contracts division uses data across sales, margin, and commercial performance.

About the client:

You will be joining a large, multi-brand UK organisation operating within a complex distribution environment. With multiple business units and evolving systems, the organisation is investing heavily in improving how data is accessed, trusted, and used. This is a business in transition, moving towards a more modern, insight-driven approach to decision making.

Project overview:

This role sits at the centre of a transformation focused on improving visibility of margin, pricing, and sales performance. You will help redefine how analytics supports the business, working closely with stakeholders to shape reporting priorities and deliver insights that drive action. The work will also contribute to building a scalable analytics capability that can be rolled out more widely across the organisation.

What you will be doing:

You will act as the link between business stakeholders and data teams, translating complex commercial requirements into clear data and reporting solutions. A core part of the role will involve analysing sales, pricing, and margin performance, identifying key drivers, and turning these into actionable insights.

You will develop a strong understanding of rebate-driven margin structures and ensure that changes to pricing and margin logic are accurately reflected in reporting. You will also support the transition from legacy tools into modern data models, ensuring historical and current reporting remains consistent and reliable.

Alongside analysis, you will design and build scalable dashboards and reports, enabling business users to access clear, consistent insights without relying on manual processes. You will work closely with Data Engineers to define reusable datasets and ensure data models support flexible, self-serve analytics.

Tech environment:

You will work with tools such as Excel, Power BI, and modern data platforms, with exposure to enterprise data environments and evolving cloud-based solutions.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for someone with strong experience in data analysis, business intelligence, or commercial analytics. You should have a proven ability to work with pricing, margin, or financial data, and be confident using Excel at an advanced level alongside BI tools such as Power BI.

You will need to be comfortable translating business needs into data solutions and working closely with stakeholders across the organisation. Strong communication and the ability to influence decision making through insight are key.

Nice to have:

Experience working in large-scale data environments or transformation programmes would be beneficial, as would familiarity with tools such as Phocas, Azure Synapse, or Databricks. Experience within retail, distribution, or similar sectors is also advantageous.

Why join:

This is an opportunity to play a central role in shaping how data is used within a key part of the business. Your work will directly influence commercial decisions and help set the standard for future analytics across multiple brands.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.
