Join a mission-driven, tech-led company as a Lead Data Analyst, working directly with the CEO to help shape the future of a platform used by millions. This is a standalone role offering a high level of trust, autonomy, and impact. You’ll be the go-to person for transforming questions into clear, data-led answers that drive strategic decisions.

The Role:

As Lead Data Analyst, you’ll sit at the intersection of data and leadership. Your work will guide priorities across a company that’s serious about making a positive impact in people’s daily lives, helping them solve real problems through simple, accessible technology.

You’ll take ownership of both recurring reporting and fast-turnaround exploratory analysis. Work is shaped around focused six-week planning cycles, and you’ll play a key role in identifying and solving the most impactful problems the business faces. This is a role for someone who thrives on working independently, enjoys solving problems, and is confident pulling clarity from ambiguity.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Leading data analysis across the business as a standalone function.
  • Turning vague or high-level questions into actionable insights.
  • Extracting what people really need from a request, and shaping your own plan to get there.
  • Using SQL to uncover insights in large datasets and communicate them simply.
  • Building clear, impactful dashboards in Tableau that support decision-making.
  • Maintaining key BI reporting, including platform and subscription health metrics.
  • Aligning with stakeholders (particularly Product Managers) to guide prioritisation and support critical decision-making.
  • Designing and evaluating experiments to help test assumptions and validate ideas.
  • Working closely with the CEO and cross-functional teams to influence direction.
  • Supporting six-week delivery cycles with timely, focused analysis.
  • Occasionally travelling internationally, with full support for logistics and planning.

What You’ll Need to Succeed:

  • Strong experience in analytics roles within digital or tech-enabled businesses.
  • Confidence and hands-on experience using Tableau to build clear, impactful dashboards for business stakeholders (certifications or a portfolio would be a strong advantage)
  • Advanced SQL skills, with the ability to write complex queries and work with large datasets
  • Familiarity with Python, R or other scripting tools for deeper analysis.
  • You’ll be the only analyst in this team, so working autonomously is key (you’ll be supported by Data Engineers to help access the data you need).
  • A natural problem-solver who takes initiative and enjoys figuring things out.
  • Strong communication skills and a willingness to speak to people to get the full picture.
  • Able to take minimal input and shape a clear, useful output, without waiting to be told how.

What’s in It for You:

  • A high-trust role working directly with the CEO on meaningful business questions.
  • A mission-driven company focused on solving real-world problems at scale.
  • Highly attractive salary package.
  • Hybrid working pattern, typically 2 to 3 days per week in the office.
  • Occasional international travel, fully supported.

Next Steps:

If this sounds like the kind of role where you’d thrive, we’d love to hear from you. Send your CV or get in touch to find out more.

Neurodiversity in Data Science Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Data science is all about turning messy, real-world information into decisions, products & insights. It sits at the crossroads of maths, coding, business & communication – which means it needs people who see patterns, ask unusual questions & challenge assumptions. That makes data science a natural fit for many neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & thinking about a data science career, you might have heard comments like “you’re too distracted for complex analysis”, “too literal for stakeholder work” or “too disorganised for large projects”. In reality, the same traits that can make traditional environments difficult often line up beautifully with data science work. This guide is written for data science job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a data science context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common data science roles Practical workplace adjustments you can request under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in data science – & how to turn “different thinking” into a real career advantage.

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.
