We are looking for a proactive and technically minded Data & Systems Analyst to help us make better use of our data, develop effective reporting solutions and support the delivery of our environmental and regulatory obligations.

The role combines data analysis, dashboard development and systems improvement, providing an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys turning complex information and business requirements into practical, user-friendly solutions.

What you'll do

You'll have a particular focus on developing and maintaining dashboards and reporting solutions using tools such as Microsoft Power BI, Fabric and QlikView. You will work closely with colleagues across the business to support the development, implementation and improvement of systems and digital solutions.

Day-to-day, you will:

  • develop and maintain dashboards and reports that provide clear visibility of compliance and operational performance
  • work with colleagues to understand reporting requirements or manual processes and translate these into clear, user-friendly dashboards or data solutions
  • support with development, testing and implementation of new systems and enhancements to existing systems
  • use tools such as Excel, Power Query and Power BI to clean, transform and analyse data
  • bring together information from different datasets and systems to create consistent and reliable reporting
  • support the adoption and development of new technologies, including Microsoft Fabric, as part of our evolving data and reporting environment
  • identify opportunities to improve how regulatory information is recorded, managed and reported.

What you'll need

Although this is a data-focused role, strong and effective communication skills are just as important. You'll work with people from different technical backgrounds, so you'll need to be comfortable understanding their requirements and translating them into practical data and systems solutions.

To be successful, you will have:

  • experience or familiarity with building dashboards using Power BI or similar business intelligence tools
  • experience working with large datasets, including data analysis, processing and reporting
  • a good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel, SharePoint and other Microsoft applications
  • strong communication skills, with the ability to explain data and technical requirements clearly
  • good organisational skills and the ability to plan and prioritise your own workload
  • an analytical mindset with good attention to detail and an interest in improving existing processes.

Most of all, we're looking for someone who is curious, proactive and keen to develop. If you enjoy working with data, solving problems and finding better ways of doing things, this could be a great opportunity to develop your skills within a regulatory and operational environment.

What you'll receive

  • A combined pension contribution of up to 20%.
  • Career progression and professional development opportunities.
  • 25 days' holiday rising to 28 with length of service.
  • The opportunity to sell up to five days of holiday every year.
  • The opportunity to buy up to ten days of holiday each year (subject to conditions).
  • A healthcare package that allows you to claim back healthcare costs.
  • Life assurance of up to eight times your salary.
  • The opportunity to lease a new electric car through salary sacrifice (subject to conditions).
  • Cashback and discounts from more than 3,000 retailers.
  • One paid volunteering day each year.
  • Enhanced family leave and pay arrangements.
  • Access to an interactive health and wellbeing platform.
  • Support from trained mental health first aiders.
  • A £1,000 referral fee if you recommend someone who is successfully recruited by us.
