BI Analyst/Data Analyst

Location: Remote Duration: 6 months IR35: Outside IR35 Day Rate: £550-£650/day Start: ASAP

A leading marketplace platform is seeking an experienced BI Analyst with strong Looker & LookML expertise to support a major overhaul of their analytics environment. You will work across engineering and insights functions to improve reporting, rebuild Looker models, and introduce governance standards that enable self-serve analytics.

The organisation has recently moved responsibility for ~80 Looker models into the engineering team. Data quality is currently poor, and they need a contractor capable of operating at scale-not someone who has only worked on one or two models. This role will suit someone who has owned or re-architected large Looker ecosystems.

• Partner with engineering, insights, finance and wider stakeholders to understand reporting needs.

• Rebuild, optimise and standardise Looker models and dashboards.

• Improve overall performance, remove ambiguity, and develop self-serve analytics.

• Establish reporting governance: define what good looks like and drive consistency across teams.

• Act as a collaborative, hands-on specialist embedded across both insights and engineering.

• Expertise in Looker & LookML (large-scale environments essential)

• Strong SQL

• Proven experience improving data models and dashboard performance

• Ability to work independently while collaborating with technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Python

• Databricks

• Highly collaborative

• Self-sufficient and proactive
