Join to apply for the Data Analyst role at TLA


Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features.


At TLA, we’re proud to be consumer champions in the automotive space, constantly exploring smarter ways to connect people with the right cars — and data analysis is at the heart of everything we do. We collect rich data across the entire consumer journey, from initial ad exposure through site browsing behaviour to final dealership actions, and we’re committed to letting data drive every decision we make.


You’ll join a focused team of 4 data professionals (2 Data Scientists, 1 Data Engineer, and yourself as the Data Analyst), working collaboratively to transform this raw data into actionable insights.


Your work will be critical to answering strategic questions like:



  • Why do consumers from manufacturer X buy used vehicles more than those from manufacturer Y?
  • How can we increase our proportion of new car sales?
  • What makes marketing channel X outperform channel Y, and how can we optimize underperforming channels?

As our Data Analyst, you’ll unlock value by building reports that deliver continuous insight, helping stakeholders iterate and improve their strategies, and ensuring our data infrastructure serves the business effectively.


Our Data Stack

  • Orchestration: Airflow
  • Transformation: dbt
  • Data Warehouse: Snowflake
  • BI Tool: Power BI

Must Haves

  • 2+ years working with data end‑to‑end: from data transformation and modelling through to building BI reports and extracting insights that inform strategy.
  • Strong SQL and BI Tool skills: You work independently in SQL, creating queries to power semantic models in any BI tool, and create visuals and reports that can drive value.
  • Statistical rigour: You’re appropriately sceptical – of your own models, of patterns in small samples, of causal claims from observational data. You know how to design experiments that isolate real effects from noise and confounding.
  • Product‑minded: You care about the “why” behind analyses and can push back constructively when something doesn’t make sense for the business.
  • Must be located within a 1‑hour commute to Liverpool city centre (non‑negotiable due to regular in‑office collaboration requirements).

Nice To Haves

  • Degree in a scientific discipline: Any degree where you analysed some kind of data is applicable for example Biology, Physics, Statistics, Computer Science etc.
  • Experience in the marketing domain, analysing and optimisation campaign performance, for example a marketing analyst role.
  • Familiarity with dbt, Snowflake, or modern data stack tools.

What Matters To Us Most

  • You ship. You balance rigour with speed and aren’t precious about perfect analyses. You know when your analysis is good enough to solve the problem at hand. You take full ownership of getting analysis into production.
  • You communicate clearly. You can explain complex statistical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders and translate business questions into analytical frameworks.

Why TLA?

This isn’t a dashboard factory role. We’re a close‑knit team of 4 data professionals doing high‑impact analysis that directly drives revenue—not endless reporting tickets. You’ll have the autonomy to identify the right questions, design rigorous experiments, and see your insights translate into real business decisions. If you want to think strategically, work collaboratively, and move the needle rather than just populate dashboards, this is the role.


Company Benefits

  • 22 days holiday (+ bank holidays, increasing by 1 day per year to 25).
  • Private health insurance (Vitality, after probation).
  • Company pension scheme.
  • Office with a view – stylish Liverpool city centre space overlooking the Liver Building and docks.
  • Charity sports events – regular opportunities to get involved if that’s your thing.
  • Hybrid working arrangements.

Eligibility

This role is open only to those with the right to work in the UK without the need for sponsorship or visa, now or in the future.

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
