About the Role:

The Senior Data Analyst, Compliance is a high-performing individual contributor within the broader analytics team. You will be responsible for bridging the gap between business and technology by translating business requirements into well-defined and concrete data products. You will own the "Requirement-to-Reporting" lifecycle, ensuring business requirements are robust and detailed and data engineers build the right foundations, balancing data governance with business flexibility. The lifecycle you will own spans Discovery (understanding the "Why" behind the business request), Mapping (identifying the "Where" — data sources — and the "Gaps"), Specs (writing the "How" for the Data Engineers), Validation (testing the "Truth" of the data through UAT), and Delivery (visualizing the "So What" for stakeholders).

This is a 12 Month Fixed Term Contract (FTC) based in our London office (hybrid, 2-3 days onsite per week).

You Will:

Partner with business leaders to extract core objectives and translate them into detailed functional specifications and technical roadmaps

Lead the definition of North Star metrics and KPIs, ensuring alignment across different departments to prevent "data silos" or conflicting definitions

Own the creation of source-to-target mappings, logic flowcharts, and business requirement documents (BRDs)

Identify internal and external data sources required to fulfill business needs; perform exploratory data analysis to highlight data gaps or quality issues

Work hand-in-hand with Data Engineers to design scalable data pipelines, providing the necessary business logic and transformation rules

Lead the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) process, rigorously validating transformation logic and data integrity before production deployment

Design and build sophisticated reporting solutions (Tableau, PowerBI, or internal tools) that go beyond simple charts to tell a meaningful business story

Ensure data is delivered in a "business-consumable" form, prioritising UX/UI in dashboards to drive high adoption rates among non-technical users

You Have:

4–8+ years in a Senior Analyst or Analytics Consultant role, specifically focused on the end-to-end delivery of data products

Mastery of first-principles thinking — the ability to take a vague request like "we need to increase retention" and break it down into a structured data project involving specific schemas, logic, and metrics

Proficiency in leveraging AI tools for rapid prototyping of SQL logic, automating documentation, and identifying opportunities where machine learning can enhance traditional business reporting

Expert-level ability to navigate two worlds — discussing JOIN logic and latency with engineers in the morning and LTV or churn-reduction strategies with executives in the afternoon

Expertise in SQL, Python, or R for data exploration, validation, and analysis; working experience with DBT, Git, or similar

Mastery of visualisation and report/dashboard building and performance optimisation; demonstrated experience building with Tableau, Mode, PowerBI (or similar)

Our Connected Work Culture: Driving Innovation, Together

Our Connected Work Culture fosters dynamic in-person collaboration, where ideas ignite and challenging problems find solutions faster. For corporate team members, we have an in-office expectation of at least 50% of the time monthly, typically achieved by coming in three days a week. This creates a consistent, meaningful overlap that supports team norms and business needs. Managers also have the flexibility to set higher expectations based on their team's specific needs. These intentional in-office moments are vital for deepening relationships, fueling creativity, and ensuring your impact is felt where it matters most.
