Senior Data Analyst / Data Engineer

About CarSupermarket.com & Aramis Group

CarSupermarket.com is part of Aramis Group, Europe's leader in B2C online refurbished car sales. Alongside our sister brands Aramisauto (France), Cardoen (Belgium), Clicars (Spain), OnlineCars (Austria), and Brumbrum (Italy), we're transforming how Europeans buy cars - with an annual turnover of over €2 billion, selling over 90,000 vehicles, and achieving an impressive NPS of 73.

At CarSupermarket.com, we are part of this success story, and we're at a pivotal moment in our data journey.

The Opportunity

We are at a pivotal moment in our UK data journey.

Today, our business relies heavily on data, but our capability is early-stage: data is fragmented, not always clean, and often hard to access or interpret. Much of the responsibility currently sits with a single individual, creating pressure and limiting our ability to turn data into clear, shared understanding across the business.

We are now looking for a Senior Data Analyst / Data Engineer to help us stabilise, simplify, and evolve our data capability - someone who can both get their hands dirty today and shape where we go next.

This is not a "plug-and-play" analytics role. It's a chance to build foundations, influence how decisions are made, and work directly with the CEO to surface the real problems - not just report numbers.

What You'll Be Responsible For

1. Make data usable, trusted, and visible

Take ownership of data quality, structure, and accessibility

Identify and fix the biggest issues: data cleanliness, definitions, consistency, and single points of failure

Create clear, reliable views of the business that people actually understand and use

2. Turn complexity into clarity

Translate complex, messy datasets into simple, digestible insights

Build dashboards and analyses that tell a story, highlight trade-offs, and make problems visible

Help non-technical stakeholders understand what matters, what's broken, and what to do next

3. Partner directly with the CEO

Work closely with the CEO to frame the right questions and reveal underlying operational and commercial issues

Support decision-making with evidence, not noise

Be confident challenging assumptions when the data says something uncomfortable

4. Be hands-on while shaping the future

Roll up your sleeves to write SQL, build pipelines, fix broken reporting, and create interim solutions

In parallel, define a clear vision for the future: tooling, architecture, data ownership, governance, and how analytics should support the business as we scale

5. Reduce risk and dependency

Help move us away from single-person dependency

Document data logic, definitions, and processes

Create a more resilient, shared approach to data across teams

What We're Looking For

Experience & Skills

Strong experience as a Senior Data Analyst, Analytics Engineer, or Data Engineer (3+ years)

Comfortable working in imperfect, fast-moving environments

Excellent SQL skills and experience working across multiple data sources

Experience building data models, reporting layers, and dashboards used by senior leadership

Confident with modern data stacks (e.g., Snowflake, dbt, Power BI, Airbyte - exact tools matter less than mindset)

Way of Working

Calm, structured, and resilient - especially when things are messy

Able to prioritise ruthlessly: not everything needs fixing at once

Strong communicator who can explain data clearly, say "this is good enough for now," and push back when needed

Comfortable operating without a detailed playbook

Mindset

You see messy data as a problem to be solved, not a reason to disengage

You enjoy building foundations, not just polishing finished products

You care about impact, not just outputs

You're as comfortable in a leadership conversation as you are writing code

What Success Looks Like

The CEO and leadership team have clear, trusted views of the business

Data conversations shift from "Can we trust this?" to "What should we do about this?"

Key risks, bottlenecks, and trade-offs are visible early

Data is no longer a single point of failure

There is a credible, realistic roadmap for how data will support the business long-term

Why Join CarSupermarket.com?

A genuinely high-impact role with direct access to the CEO and decision-makers

The chance to shape a data function from the ground up at CarSupermarket.com

Real autonomy - you'll influence tools, standards, and priorities

A business that knows it has problems and is ready to face them, not hide them

Part of Aramis Group's wider Data team with expertise across Europe to learn from and collaborate with International environment with cross-country knowledge sharing Management model encouraging initiative-taking and problem-solving
