Shape the future. Drive the adoption of AWS. Unlock the power of data. Lead the way.


We’re looking for a Senior Data Analyst who’s ready to help shape how an organisation uses data and drive the adoption of bleeding-edge AWS technology across the business.


This is a hands-on, high-impact role within a growing Technology & Change team that’s laying the foundations for a modern, cloud-first data environment. You’ll partner with stakeholders across the organisation to transform how data is captured, connected, and used to drive smarter decisions at every level. As the data function expands, the role will naturally evolve into a Team Lead position, where you’ll mentor a small group of analysts and continue to shape the future of the company’s data capabilities.


In this role, you’ll act as the data champion across the business, defining how data can enhance decision-making, efficiency, and customer experience. You’ll lead the adoption of AWS technologies such as Glue, Athena, LakeFormation, and DataBrew — unlocking the full potential of the organisation’s data assets. Working confidently across both AWS and legacy systems, you’ll source, validate, and connect data into a unified view, ensuring consistency and reliability.


Collaboration will be at the heart of what you do. You’ll work closely with teams across Operations, Finance, and IT to translate business questions into actionable insights, and you’ll design dashboards and visualisations that tell meaningful stories and inspire change. Your analytical skills in SQL and Python will help uncover trends, patterns, and opportunities for improvement, while your technical input will contribute to the ongoing design and growth of a scalable, well-governed AWS-based data platform.


As the team grows, you’ll play a key role in nurturing a high-performing, insight-driven culture — supporting and mentoring junior analysts, setting standards for data quality, and driving best practices that enable the business to make confident, data-led decisions.


To thrive in this role, you’ll bring at least five years’ experience as a Data Analyst or Senior Analyst, ideally within a complex or fast-changing environment. You’ll have a strong grasp of SQL and a clear understanding of how data flows through modern architectures, with proven experience using AWS tools such as Glue, Athena, LakeFormation, or DataBrew. You’ll also be adept at working across both cloud and legacy systems, with excellent communication skills that allow you to bridge technical and non-technical audiences alike. A proactive, curious mindset and a passion for using data to influence and improve business performance are essential, as is hands-on experience with BI tools such as Power BI, QuickSight, or Tableau.


Joining this organisation means being part of a transformation that’s redefining how data drives business success. You’ll have the opportunity to work directly with the latest AWS technologies, help set the data standards for the future, and progress into a leadership role as the function matures. You’ll collaborate with passionate teams and senior leaders who truly value data-driven decision-making, all within a hybrid working model (typically office - one day per week or 1 day every other week)


If you’re ready to take ownership of how data is used in a fast-evolving environment and help build a cloud-first, insight-led culture, we’d love to hear from you.

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.
