We’re looking for a Data Analyst to join our data and analytics team, supporting finance by delivering high-quality reporting for local and global sales and customer debt. You will take ownership of the technical delivery of sales and debt reporting, ensuring outputs are timely, accurate, and actionable for finance stakeholders. This includes developing and maintaining data models, dashboards, and reports—primarily using Power BI—to visualize financial performance and support decision-making.


You will collaborate closely with other data analysts to understand reporting requirements and translate business needs into robust technical solutions. Working in an agile environment, you’ll adapt to evolving priorities and contribute to continuous improvement in reporting processes. You’ll also build relationships with divisional data teams to support broader reporting collaboration and ensure alignment across functions.


We operate a hybrid working policy that requires a minimum of 2 days per week in the Oxford office.


About You

To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:



  • Strong data reporting skills using a visualization tool (Power BI desirable)
  • Experience in financial sales reporting
  • Experience working in agile teams or environments
  • Ability to turn non-technical requirements into technical delivery
  • Proven track record of delivering work in a professional business context
  • SQL or MDX
  • Experience with Power Automate.
  • Experience with SAP and/or SAP BW.
  • Certification in a visualization tool (PL300 or equivalent).

We care about work/life balance here at OUP. With this in mind we offer 25 days’ holiday that rises with service, plus bank holidays and Christmas closure (3‑days) and a 35-hour working week. We are open to discussing flexibility in respect to working patterns, dependent on role. We also have a great variety of active employee networks and societies.


We help make your money go further by contributing to your pension up to 12%, offering loans and savings schemes through our partnership with Salary Finance, in addition to travel to work schemes and access to a wide range of local discounts.


This role comes with the added benefit of a discretionary annual payment.


Please see our Rewards and Recognition page for more information.


Please note this advert may be removed before the advertised end date, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.


We are committed to supporting diversity in our workforce, and ensuring an inclusive environment where all individuals can thrive. We seek to employ a workforce representative of the markets that we serve and encourage applications from all.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.
