Senior Data Detective Wanted: Solve Business Mysteries & Shape the Future

Hampshire (South coast) you must be local | Up to £65k | 2 Days Office + 3 Days Wherever You Think Best

The Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It)

Ever wondered what happens when Sherlock Holmes meets Excel? You're about to find out.

We're hunting for a data wizard who can turn spreadsheet chaos into boardroom gold. You'll be the person senior leaders turn to when they need to make decisions that could make or break the company. No pressure... just kidding, there's loads of pressure, but the good kind that makes you feel like a superhero.

What You'll Actually Do (The Fun Stuff)

Detective Work: Hunt down data from every corner of the business like you're solving a mystery novel

Crystal Ball Gazing: Use SQL, PowerBI, and Python to predict the future (well, business outcomes)

Storytelling: Turn boring numbers into compelling narratives that make CEOs go "aha!"

Juggling Act: Manage multiple projects simultaneously without dropping the ball (we've all been there)

Think less "person who stares at spreadsheets all day" and more "business intelligence ninja who happens to love data."

The Perks (Because We Actually Care About You)

  • Your Birthday Off - Because adulting is hard enough without working on your special day

  • 25 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays - Proper time to recharge those analytical brain cells

  • 2 Charity Days - Feel good about making the world better

  • Learning Budget - Books, courses, conferences... feed your brain

  • Enhanced Everything - Mat/Pat leave, sick pay, all the good stuff

  • Company Socials - Including dodgeball (yes, really)

  • Work From Home 3 Days - Your cat/dog/houseplant makes an excellent rubber duck for debugging

    What We Need From You

    Must Haves:

  • SQL and PowerBI skills that would make a database swoon

  • Data wrangling abilities (cleaning, organizing, making sense of chaos)

  • Python knowledge is like finding a unicorn - rare and magical

  • SaaS metrics experience (CAC, churn, the usual suspects)

  • Presentation skills that don't put people to sleep

  • The organizational skills of a Swiss timekeeper

    Nice to Haves:

  • A sense of humor (you'll need it)

  • The ability to explain complex things to people who think "pivot table" is furniture

  • Commercial awareness beyond "money good, losses bad"

    The Reality Check

    This isn't a job where someone holds your hand all day. You'll get a brief, disappear into your data cave, and emerge with insights that blow people's minds. Sometimes you'll present to senior management. Sometimes you'll be knee-deep in customer behavior patterns. Sometimes you'll be the person who spots the trend everyone else missed.

    You'll work with sales teams, customer success, product folks, and basically everyone who has data they don't understand but desperately need to.

    Sample Projects (The Exciting Stuff)

  • Figure out why some customers love us and others... don't

  • Analyze whether our pricing changes are genius or career-limiting moves

  • Use third-party data to identify which industries we should be targeting

  • Basically, answer the questions that keep executives awake at night

    Ready to Apply?

    If you've read this far and thought "this sounds like my kind of chaos," we want to hear from you. Send us your CV and tell us about a time you found a needle in a data haystack that actually mattered.

    Warning: This role may cause sudden bursts of "I figured it out!" moments, increased job satisfaction, and the occasional urge to high-five your computer screen.

    Equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from all backgrounds, especially those who can make spreadsheets less scary
