About The Job

Our people-centred culture and design, tech, and data expertise makes us one of the UK’s leading automotive marketplace and a great place to continue your career as a Data Analyst.

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.
• Confident developing in our cloud data warehouse using SQL and automation tools.
• Experienced in using business intelligence tools to create dashboards that enable efficient workflows, and promote self-service insight.
