What you ll be doing: Strategy & leadership • Define and drive an enterprise-wide analytics strategy that aligns with business objectives. • Establish and own Data Governance principles - quality, security, and compliance. • Champion a culture of data-driven decision-making at executive and board level. Insight & storytelling • Convert commercial insight into clear trading, product, and sales recommendations. • Bring a hypothesis-led narrative to board-level conversations, backed by analysis that is thoughtful and actionable. • Evolve the model that tracks the full value of marketing channels and programmatic strategies. Technology & platforms • Continuously evolve the data infrastructure - challenging how data is harvested and distributed across the business. • Lead on Power BI, Data Lakes, Lakehouse and Machine Learning capabilities. • Stay ahead of emerging tools and technologies - and have the experience to deliver your recommendations.

What we re looking for: Essential • Demonstrable senior experience in data analytics or insights leadership, with a track record of building and developing high-performing teams. • Significant proven experience developing, delivering, and embedding a clear enterprise-wide analytics and insights strategy that aligns with business objectives. • Expert-level knowledge of BI and data visualisation platforms - Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or Qlik - including dashboard design, performance optimisation, and modelling best practices. • Hands-on experience designing and implementing Power BI datasets, dashboards, and paginated reports. • Proven track record delivering ETL pipelines, data warehousing, and modern visualisation platforms end-to-end. • Strong commercial acumen - the ability to translate data into decisions that drive growth, not just reports. • Exceptional communicator and influencer at all levels, from data engineers to board members. Desirable • A degree in Data Science, Business Analytics, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related field. • Certifications such as CBIP or Microsoft Certified Power BI Data Analyst Associate are a bonus - but not a dealbreaker if your experience speaks for itself. The kind of person who ll thrive here: You follow through. You don t miss your own deadlines. You push for clarity when things are vague and for progress when things stall. You know how to get the most from a team without becoming their bottleneck - and you care about the quality of the work as much as the pace of it. You re energetic, self-motivated, and comfortable operating at pace across multiple priorities.
