We’re working with a leading asset manager who are looking for an experienced Senior Data Analyst to join our Decision Analytics Team, working directly with Portfolio Managers and Analysts to analyse investment decisions, identify behavioural patterns, and drive continuous improvement in decision-making processes.

This is a unique role at the intersection of behavioural science and data analytics, using a rich historical dataset to evaluate how investment decisions are made, and how they can be improved.

Key Responsibilities

  • Analyse the decision-making behaviour of investment professionals using historical trading data and behavioural science techniques.
  • Conduct deep-dive reviews of investment actions to highlight patterns, anomalies, and flags that may influence performance.
  • Write and maintain clean, well-documented code in R to manipulate, analyse, and visualise investment and behavioural data.
  • Develop behavioural diagnostics and signals that support post-trade review, strategy evaluation, and feedback loops.
  • Produce clear, insightful reports that distil complex analyses into actionable insights for Portfolio Managers and Analysts.
  • Collaborate with investment teams to embed findings into ongoing workflows and enhance investment processes.
  • Continuously evolve the team’s frameworks for interpreting and improving decision quality.

What We're Looking For

  • 7–8 years of experience in data analysis, ideally in an investment management, trading, or decision analytics context.
  • Strong coding and data analysis skills in R.
  • Experience working with large, structured datasets — particularly trading, portfolio, or decision-tracking data.
  • A solid understanding of behavioural finance or demonstrated interest in decision-making psychology.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to convert data and analysis into clear, concise insights.
  • Strong attention to detail, with a mindset focused on continuous improvement and collaborative problem-solving.

Why Join?

This role offers a rare opportunity to influence how investment decisions are made and reviewed at a firm-wide level. You’ll work in aforward-thinking teamthat blends behavioural insight with rigorous data analysis to help sharpen investment judgement and outcomes.

Data Science Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Languages & Platforms to Learn Now

The UK’s data science job market is evolving fast—from forecasting models and AI assistants to real-time decision systems. In 2026, data scientists aren’t just expected to build models—they’re responsible for shaping insights that fuel everything from patient care to predictive banking.

How to Find Hidden Data Science Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RSS, BCS & More

The data science job market in the UK is thriving—but also increasingly competitive. As organisations in finance, healthcare, retail, government, and tech accelerate digital transformation, the demand for data talent has soared. Yet many of the best data science jobs are never posted publicly. They’re shared behind closed doors—within professional networks, at invite-only events, or through member-only mailing lists and specialist interest groups. These “hidden” roles are often filled through referrals, collaborations, or direct outreach to trusted experts. In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock these hidden opportunities by engaging with key UK professional bodies such as the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), and Turing Society, plus communities like PyData and AI UK. You’ll learn how to use directories, CPD events, and networks to move beyond job boards—and into roles where you’re approached, not just applying.

How to Get a Better Data Science Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy can be tough to face, especially in a competitive field like data science. But it’s important to know: your experience, analytical thinking, and modelling skills are still in demand. Across sectors like healthcare, finance, e-commerce, government and AI startups, UK employers continue to seek data scientists who can deliver value through insight, prediction, and automation. This guide will walk you through how to bounce back from redundancy with purpose and clarity—whether you're a data analyst looking to step up, a mid-level data scientist, or a machine learning specialist seeking a better-aligned opportunity.
