As an analytics expert, you will develop data products and solve analytical problems that drive decisions key to achieving your team’s objectives. Our data analysts work in cross-functional teams with software engineers, data scientists, and product leads, so you will be collaborating with a team with a diverse set of skills and personalities. These teams work together to develop insight-driven, market-leading digital products and services.

Data Analysts are embedded in teams across Auto Trader that prioritise work that contributes to our core business objectives. Upcoming projects include working with our Commercial Finance team to optimise pricing and design key business metrics, or with our digital products teams to understand and measure consumer and partner behaviour.

You will engage with stakeholders, challenge assumptions when designing analyses, and enable data-driven decision-making. You will be supported by a Senior or Principal Data Analyst who will help you prioritise work and provide review of methods. You will collaborate with other Analysts, Engineers and Scientists in your team, using developer practices such as pairing to share knowledge and carry out robust work.

Our data analysts work with a powerful cloud computing stack and are expected to know or learn how to contribute in this environment. We provide in-house training for our business intelligence, cloud data warehousing, and big data analytics tooling. Our data analysts are:

  • Familiar with statistical and data science methods, such as machine learning, so that they can spot opportunities for data science.

How to Find Hidden Data Science Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RSS, BCS & More

The data science job market in the UK is thriving—but also increasingly competitive. As organisations in finance, healthcare, retail, government, and tech accelerate digital transformation, the demand for data talent has soared. Yet many of the best data science jobs are never posted publicly. They’re shared behind closed doors—within professional networks, at invite-only events, or through member-only mailing lists and specialist interest groups. These “hidden” roles are often filled through referrals, collaborations, or direct outreach to trusted experts. In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock these hidden opportunities by engaging with key UK professional bodies such as the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), and Turing Society, plus communities like PyData and AI UK. You’ll learn how to use directories, CPD events, and networks to move beyond job boards—and into roles where you’re approached, not just applying.

This guide will walk you through how to bounce back from redundancy with purpose and clarity—whether you're a data analyst looking to step up, a mid-level data scientist, or a machine learning specialist seeking a better-aligned opportunity.
