Data Analyst

We’ve been the go-to for the freshest trainer and apparel releases since 2005, whether it’s big name brands or emerging bedroom labels we’ve got it covered. With over 65 high-street stores across the UK, we’re taking over the high street one step at a time.

Description

Having recently migrated our Data tech stack at Footasylum on to Azure Databricks and Power BI from SQL Server and SSRS, we have a large suite of reports which surface the data that the business needs to answer their key questions. 

Data plays a key part in our organisation and in order to make data driven decisions, we need an analyst who can take results from Power BI reports and use the data warehouse to delve deeper and provide insights to enable stakeholders to understand our customers better and ensure that we are creating the best offerings.

As aData Analyst you will be:

• Generating bespoke analysis for brand meetings focused on the customer, in partnership with SMEs in other departments such as eCom, Buying & Merchandising
  
• Creating bespoke analysis for internal executive leadership to generate insights on FA customers
  
• Presenting recommendations for actions on driving consumer behaviours which generate higher revenue
  
• Training analysts within other departments to use SQL, Power BI and encourage best practices for analysis
  
• Ensuring that analysis generated uses the same definitions as reporting, to provide one version of the truth
  
• Performing analysis of new data sources as they become available in the data warehouse, to help the team understand the value and contents
  
• Creating analysis to help us understand our customers from a holistic view, incorporating data aside from transactional information for example Google Analytics web session data

The Team

This is a fantastic opportunity to join our Data Team, an enabling team and as such it is important to note that it is a key function for all other teams across the business. 

The Data Team consists of two teams – Business Intelligence and Data Engineering – who work closely alongside each other from end to end. The two teams design solutions together and share best practice. Within the teams we recognise individual skillsets and encourage knowledge sharing sessions and self-development.

About You

We are looking for a driven individual who has a keen eye for detail and strives to ensure that they produce accurate information through concise presentations. Ideally, you will be comfortable liaising with technical teams to understand how business processes reflect in the data produced and are able to relay this back to senior stakeholders at executive level.

This is a very exciting opportunity for someone who ideally has:

• Excellent SQL skills
• Experience with databricks desirable, but not essential
• Excellent Power BI skills
• Proficiency in DAX and Power Query
• Experience writing queries on large datasets from numerous source systems
• Background in leading training sessions and providing guidance to team members
• Good knowledge of data governance, data protection, and GDPR
• Great organisational skills and experience in Azure DevOps or JIRA desirable
• Previous experience providing analysis for a retailer
• Experience with web-based session data
• Customer centric analysis experience
• Excellent presentation skills
• Demonstrated ability in working collaboratively with technical and non-technical colleagues
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills to Exec level
• Experience managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment alongside evolving the data tech stack and practices
• At least 3 years relevant work experience

Diversity 

We recognise and value the importance of diversity to help make sure we have lots of different perspectives when we are building products and services. We know that this will help us build useful and accessible things which our customers will love. This is great news for our business. Diversity for us is also, importantly, about building happy teams full of people that want to learn and want to be inspired by each other and our different experiences and backgrounds.

Recruitment Process 

We’ll help make the interview process as transparent and stress-free as possible.

We review applications individually, and if we feel you would be a good fit, we’ll invite you for a call or Teams video for an informal chat about the role and to see if we’re a good fit for you.

We value open and honest conversations and collaboration, allowing you to learn about our work in an informal and friendly environment. We want to know about you and why you feel this is your opportunity.

Please note this is not a remote role, and we expect that you will be able to attend Head Office in a hybrid way in Greater Manchester.
