About this role
Data Analyst
£35,000 – £45,000 | Yorkshire, UK | Permanent
Elevation Recruitment Group are working with a growing UK organisation to recruit a Data Analyst as they continue to invest in and develop their data capability.
This isn't a role for somebody who simply receives a request, builds a report and moves onto the next one.
We're looking for someone who is naturally curious about data – somebody who asks the extra question, spots when something doesn't quite add up and thinks about what a stakeholder is actually trying to understand.
You'll join a developing data function with significant demand from across the organisation and play an important role in turning complex information into reporting that people can genuinely trust and use.
What you'll be doing
Designing, building and maintaining Power BI reports and dashboardsUsing SQL to analyse data across a complex, multi-system environmentWorking with stakeholders across Operations, Finance and senior leadership to understand reporting requirementsValidating and reconciling information against source systemsInvestigating discrepancies and data quality issues rather than simply accepting the numbers at face valueHelping define consistent metrics across the organisationWorking closely with Data Engineering to ensure the right datasets are available for reportingTaking ownership of reports from initial requirement through to published, documented outputs What we're looking for
You'll ideally have around 3+ years' experience within Data Analysis, BI or reporting and be comfortable working independently in a largely remote environment.
Technically, we're looking for:
Strong Power BI skills, including DAX and Power QueryStrong SQLExperience building reports and dashboards for business usersA good understanding of databases and data structuresExperience gathering requirements directly from stakeholdersExcellent attention to detail and a genuine instinct to check and reconcile your work Exposure to Azure, Databricks, data modelling or financial reporting would be useful, but isn't essential.
More than anything, we're looking for somebody who thinks commercially about data. If someone asks you for a report, your instinct should be to understand why they need it, what decisions they'll make from it and whether there's anything they haven't thought to ask.
The opportunity
The organisation has already made significant progress in developing its data environment and is now investing in the permanent capability needed to take that work forward.
You'll join a small, collaborative team where you'll have genuine influence over how reporting develops rather than simply maintaining a huge catalogue of existing dashboards.
Salary: £35,000 – £45,000 depending on experience with flexible working.
