## Description

We are partnered with a fast-growing organisation operating within a highly regulated healthcare sector that is looking to make its first dedicated UK data hire.
This is a genuinely greenfield opportunity. Data currently sits across several different systems, with reporting and analysis relying heavily on manual spreadsheet processes. The business is now investing in building a more reliable data foundation that will provide greater visibility across customer journeys, operational performance and clinical outcomes.
As Data Analyst, you will take ownership of bringing this data together, improving its structure and helping senior stakeholders make better, evidence-led decisions.
You will receive guidance from an established global data function, but you will operate as the standalone data specialist for the UK business. This makes the role particularly well suited to someone who is self-directed, curious and excited by the opportunity to build rather than inherit.
What You'll Be DoingBringing together data from multiple systems to create a clear and reliable view of operational performanceBuilding and maintaining data models and pipelines using SQL, with the opportunity to work with Snowflake and dbtDeveloping dashboards and reporting that provide visibility across customer journeys, conversion funnels and business performanceWorking with stakeholders to understand their requirements and translate business questions into practical data solutionsImproving data quality, consistency and categorisation across the organisationIdentifying patterns and insights that can improve customer outcomes and operational efficiencyPresenting findings clearly to senior business leaders and specialist clinical professionalsHelping define how data should be structured, governed and used across the UK businessEstablishing scalable processes that can support the organisation as it continues to grow
