Lead Data Analyst - Shape the Future. Drive the AWS Migration. Turn Data Into Insight. Lead the Way.
Shape the future. Drive the adoption of AWS. Unlock the power of data. Lead the way.
We’re looking for a Lead Data Analyst who can play a pivotal role in modernising how an organisation uses data, helping guide the move from legacy systems into a cloud-first AWS environment.
This is a hands-on, high-impact position within a growing Technology & Change team, where you’ll help define how data is captured, structured, and used across the business. As the data function expands, this role will naturally develop into a Team Lead position, giving you the opportunity to mentor analysts and help shape the long-term data strategy.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll act as a data champion across the organisation uncovering insights, supporting key stakeholders, and contributing to the build-out of a scalable AWS data platform. The work blends analytics, insight generation, data mapping, and workflow design, rather than deep data engineering.
You’ll work hands-on across the AWS stack/tools to help onboard, transform, and organise datasets as they migrate away from legacy systems. A key part of the role is turning previously unstructured or unmapped data into something reliable, accessible, and valuable.
Collaboration is at the core of the role. You’ll partner with teams across Operations, Finance, and IT — translating business questions into actionable analysis, building dashboards that support decision-making, and presenting findings that influence outcomes. Your SQL and Python skills will help you dig into datasets, identify trends, troubleshoot data quality issues, and shape how new data flows into the platform.
You’ll also contribute to the light architectural and governance side, documenting data lineage, standardising workflows, and supporting the development of strong data governance as the AWS environment scales.
As the team grows, you'll help foster a high-performing, insight-led culture — mentoring junior analysts, driving best practices, and setting the standard for data quality and consistency.
What you’ll bring
- 5+ years as a Data Analyst / Senior Data Analyst
- Strong SQL and solid understanding of modern data flows and structures
- Hands-on familiarity with AWS cloud/data tools
- Experience mapping, transforming, and onboarding new datasets
- Ability to work across both legacy and cloud environments
- Excellent communication skills — comfortable working with technical and non-technical audiences
- Experience with BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or QuickSight
- A proactive, curious mindset with a passion for turning data into genuine insight
Why join
You’ll join an organisation undergoing a major transformation — modernising its data landscape and shifting fully onto AWS. You’ll work directly with the latest AWS tools, help define data standards, influence architecture, and gain clear progression into a leadership role.
With hybrid working (typically one day a week or every other week on-site) and strong support from senior leaders, it’s a standout opportunity for someone who wants both impact and progression.
If you're ready to take ownership of how data is used and help build a cloud-first, insight-driven culture, we’d love to hear from you.
