  • Reports to: Global Head of Service Delivery, IT & Repairs
  • Contract Type: Permanent / Full-time
  • Contracted Hours/Days: 37.5 hours / 5 days per week

We are hiring for a Senior Data Analyst to enable data-driven decision-making across this global organisation. You will be responsible for extracting, transforming, analysing and visualising data from multiple enterprise systems including Azure, Salesforce and Halo ITSM to deliver high-quality insights for senior executives, sales teams, service delivery, engineering, product teams, and customers.

The role will design and maintain advanced Power BI dashboards, build robust data models, perform historical trend analysis, and develop forecasting and pattern-detection models.

In addition, this role will contribute to the evolution of AI-enabled analytics, using Python and modern AI tools (e.g. Copilot and ChatGPT-style agents) to enhance insight generation, automate analysis, and enable self-service reporting.

This role is critical to the ability to scale service operations globally while maintaining service excellence, customer trust, and commercial performance. By combining advanced analytics, automation, and emerging AI capabilities, the Senior Data Analyst will help transform data into a strategic asset across the organisation.

Key Responsibilities for the Senior Data Analyst:

  • Design, build, and maintain reliable data pipelines to extract data.
  • Develop automated ETL processes to ensure timely, accurate, and scalable data refresh cycles.
  • Work with development teams and system owners to integrate data via APIs and improve data availability.
  • Build and maintain robust data models.
  • Analyse service delivery performance.
  • Perform historical trend analysis and develop forecasting models.
  • Identify patterns, anomalies, and systemic issues that impact service quality or cost-to-serve.
  • Design and deliver high-quality Power BI dashboards.
  • Standardise KPI definitions and reporting structures across regions.
  • Automate recurring reports and reduce reliance on manual, spreadsheet-based reporting.
  • Ensure dashboards tell a clear, actionable story rather than simply presenting data.
  • Use Python to automate data processing, analysis, and reporting workflows.
  • Contribute to the design and development of AI-assisted analytics solutions, including:
  • Copilot-style or ChatGPT-based agents to support insight generation, reporting, or operational queries
  • Partner with stakeholders to identify high-value use cases where AI can enhance decision-making.
  • Provide analytical insight to support continuous improvement initiatives
  • Data Governance & Quality Assurance
  • Stakeholder Collaboration

Essential Qualifications, Skills and Experience for the Senior Data Analyst

  • 5–7+ years’ experience as a Senior Data Analyst, BI Analyst, or Analytics Specialist, ideally within SaaS, ITSM, or service-led organisations.
  • Strong Python experience (essential), including use for data analysis, automation, modelling, and system integration.
  • Advanced SQL skills and experience building and maintaining ETL pipelines.
  • Advanced Power BI expertise, including DAX, dataflows, model optimisation, and performance tuning.
  • Proven experience extracting and working with data from Azure, Salesforce, and ITSM platforms.
  • Strong understanding of service delivery and operational metrics (SLAs, KPIs, MTTR, backlog management, incident trends, repair logistics).
  • Demonstrated experience with forecasting, time-series analysis, and pattern recognition.
  • Ability to translate complex data into executive-level insights and compelling narratives.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

Desirable

  • Experience developing AI-assisted analytics solutions, including building Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar AI agents to support reporting, insight generation, or operational decision-making
  • Leveraging large language models (LLMs) to enhance data exploration or automation
  • Experience integrating Python analytics with Azure AI services (e.g. Azure OpenAI).
  • Familiarity with modern data platforms (Azure Data Lake, Synapse, Snowflake, Lakehouse).
  • Experience with predictive or prescriptive analytics beyond basic forecasting.
  • Exposure to automation or orchestration tools for analytics pipelines.

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data science jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that actually reach senior and lead data science talent. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data science hiring over the next three years — from MLE crossover to GenAI workflows. Data science has spent the past decade being described as the sexiest job of the twenty-first century. By 2026, the reality is both more nuanced and more interesting than that label ever suggested. The discipline has matured, fragmented, deepened, and in some respects reinvented itself — and the jobs market has changed with it in ways that create genuine opportunity for those who understand what employers actually want, and genuine difficulty for those still operating on assumptions formed five years ago. The data science jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. The generalist data scientist — equally comfortable wrangling data, building models, and presenting insights to the board — is giving way to a more specialised landscape where employers know exactly what problem they are trying to solve and are looking for candidates with the specific depth to solve it. Machine learning engineering, causal inference, experimentation, AI product development, and domain-specific applied science have all emerged as distinct career tracks within what was previously a single, loosely defined profession. At the same time, the arrival of large language models and the broader AI capability wave has both threatened and created data science roles in equal measure. Some of the work that junior data scientists spent their early careers doing — data cleaning, exploratory analysis, basic model building — is being partially automated by AI tooling. But the demand for practitioners who can evaluate AI systems rigorously, apply statistical thinking to complex business problems, and build the data foundations on which AI depends has grown considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what data scientists are expected to build and know, and how to position a data science career that will remain valuable as the field continues to evolve around them. This article breaks down what the UK data science jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
