MIBI Data Analyst

We are looking for a Data Analyst (Assistant Vice President) to join the Data Analytics Team. This role will play a key role in designing and delivering reporting and analytics products at the proof of concept stage whilst also supporting delivery items periodically

This role will operate as part of the Enablement Workstream and will work closely with Business Analysts who will lead primary stakeholder engagement and requirements definition. The focus of this role is on translating well-formed business requirements into proof of concept designs through strong engagement with technical and delivery teams.

The role will be responsible for the end-to-end technical coordination and development of analytics products, ensuring work is appropriately planned, prioritised, and delivered to agreed standards.

Accountabilities & Responsibilities: Prepare and transform data for use in analytics products using appropriate tooling and techniques.

This includes providing in-house coaching support and training for users and product owners.

Collaborate with a range of technical and non-technical audiences to quality assure delivery of analytics products through development and UAT.

The successful candidate will bring strong experience in MI / BI delivery, with hands-on knowledge of Power BI and SQL-based reporting solutions, with knowledge of banking processes a preference. While not acting as the primary interface to business stakeholders, the role will ensure business intent as defined by the BA is correctly interpreted and implemented by technical teams.

This position requires a highly organised individual with strong delivery ownership, able to manage multiple work items in parallel and ensure analytics products are delivered end-to-end, from build through testing and release. You will be confident in working within technical environments, proactively resolving delivery issues, and positively challenging design or implementation approaches where needed to maintain quality and value.

If you enjoy turning clear requirements into well-executed analytics solutions and working closely with technical teams to drive delivery at scale, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact across the portfolio.
