Certain Advantage are recruiting on behalf of our globally renowned energies client for a Senior Tech/Data products Business Analyst to work on an important programme delivering a business wide performance dashboard that utilises data from multiple platforms to provide actionable insight for optimising operations.
This is a key role bridging business needs with technical implementation, ensuring that the dashboard delivers actionable insights for optimizing vessel operations across the shipping fleets. Any industry experience is considered but preference for similar projects experience within either maritime, logistics, or energy sectors (if so make sure this is in your CV!).

Skills/Experience

You’ll be required to hit the ground running in understanding the requirements, quickly learn a number of platform data models, and build queries to prove the business requirements before engineering starts building the data products.

Suitable candidates will offer experience in handling big data warehouse projects in an enterprise environment where stakeholders are across multiple countries/timezones.

You’ll have a strong understanding of data modeling and system integration across platforms (even better if this relates to RADAR, GMAS, and BOSS)

Strong proficiency in SQL or similar query languages for building data product designs (to hand to engineers).

Typical responsibilities;

Requirements Gathering: Collaborate with stakeholders to collect and document detailed business requirements for performance metrics.
Comparative Analysis: Analyze and benchmark requirements against the existing business implementation to identify gaps and opportunities for enhancement.
Data Mapping: Map and align data models across multiple systems including RADAR, GMAS, and BOSS to ensure data consistency and integrity.
Data Product Development: Design and build cross-system queries to generate data products that meet business needs.
Stakeholder Engagement: Act as a liaison between business users, data engineers, and developers to ensure alignment and clarity throughout the project lifecycle.

Pre-Employment Checks for Data Science Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in data science reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of statistical analysis, machine learning innovation, and strategic business intelligence. Data scientists often have privileged access to comprehensive datasets, proprietary algorithms, and business-critical insights that form the foundation of organisational strategy and competitive positioning. The data science industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning GDPR, sector-specific data protection requirements, and emerging AI governance regulations. Data scientists must demonstrate not only technical competence in statistical modelling and machine learning but also deep understanding of research ethics, data privacy principles, and the societal implications of algorithmic decision-making. Modern data science roles frequently involve analysing personally identifiable information, financial data, healthcare records, and sensitive business intelligence across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks simultaneously. The combination of analytical privilege, predictive capabilities, and strategic influence makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, security, and public trust in data-driven insights and automated systems.
