But we're more than just a company disrupting the industry-we're a team of innovators, problem-solvers, and creators passionate about empowering scientists. Our LINQ platform combines hardware and software to streamline workflows, making lab automation fast, flexible, and affordable. This means our customers can focus on groundbreaking research, while we take care of the rest. Why Work at Automata? * Impact: Your work will directly contribute to advancements in science and medicine, supporting labs around the globe as they push boundaries in research and innovation. * Innovation: You'll be part of a team solving complex problems (seriously, no one else has figured out how to do this yet), using cutting-edge technology (we have robots). * Growth: We invest in our people. Whether through hands-on experience, professional development, or collaborative projects, you'll grow both professionally and personally. * Community: Join a diverse, passionate team that values collaboration (golf on a Thursday, Soccer once a month, movie nights whenever we fancy it). We are seeking a skilled Data Analyst to join our growing 177-person company (120 in the UK, 50 in the US) to drive data-driven decision-making through comprehensive analysis of our internal company operations and performance. This is a pivotal role for someone who is passionate about data analysis and wants a crash course on making an impact on business performance. This hire will own data analytics across the business.
