Data Analyst

Hybrid - Central London | £43,000 pro rata | 3-month FTC (potential to extend)

We're looking for a technically strong and commercially aware MI & Data Integration Analyst to join a leading UK retail and technology business on an initial 3-month fixed-term contract.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys combining hands-on data analysis, reporting, and Azure integration work - helping build robust data foundations and self-serve reporting capability for an evolving business area.

You'll be supporting a small, forward-thinking team to improve how they use data - helping them access accurate and timely MI, streamline processes, and migrate to a new Azure-based data environment.

You'll take ownership of reporting improvements, work closely with third-party partners on offshoring data processes, and support the move of key datasets into the Unity Catalog environment.

• Produce and enhance accurate, timely, and insightful MI reports to support business decision-making.

• Develop and maintain data tables and integrations within Azure Databricks and the Unity Catalog to enable self-serve data access.

• Define and deliver process maps for transferring data ingestion from internal teams to offshore partners.

• Provide hands-on SQL expertise to design, optimise, and validate queries.

• Support and guide third-party teams (Infosys) to ensure tasks meet agreed standards and timelines.

• Document and communicate MI processes to support troubleshooting and continuous improvement.

• Ensure all activity aligns with data governance and confidentiality standards.

• Strong working knowledge of Azure and related integration tools.

• SQL proficiency, with experience in Databricks.

• Proven experience in management information (MI) and reporting - ideally using Power BI and Excel.

• Comfortable building, testing, and optimising data pipelines or integrations.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder skills, able to explain data insight to non-technical users.

• Analytical mindset - able to approach problems logically and holistically, considering downstream impact.

• Experience with Python is desirable, but not essential.

• The chance to shape data processes within a well-known UK brand.

• Work with a modern Azure tech stack (Databricks, Power BI, Unity Catalog).

• Collaborative and supportive hybrid team culture (2-3 days a week in London office).

• 3-month FTC with a strong chance of extension, depending on project timelines and delivery.
