Working with central BI, engineering and platform teams, you will help set development standards across the team and champion quality and control, ensuring both your own work and the wider team’s outputs comply with internal control and digital control frameworks.

New Analyst postings at the employers we follow are up 23% over the last 6 weeks compared with the 6 before.
Each bar is one week of new postings. The darkest bars are the last 6 weeks.
Counted from the hiring pages we’ve followed for at least five weeks, so employers we add don’t look like growth. Updated weekly.
We file this job under Analyst, by the work the posting describes.
Analysts answer business questions with data. They pull numbers with SQL, build reports and dashboards, and explain what changed and why to the people making decisions.
Most postings ask for SQL, spreadsheets, a dashboard tool such as Tableau or Power BI, and clear writing.
Unlike a data scientist, an analyst mostly explains what happened rather than building models that predict what will.

About the team
This is an opportunity to join a newly formed Trading Performance & Analysis team within Commercial Finance. We sit where commercial decision-making meets data, working alongside Trading Finance leaders, the central Finance BI and reporting team, Retail and Supply Chain analytics colleagues, and central data engineering. Our aim is to create trusted, scalable analytics that help colleagues understand performance, make better decisions and spend less time on manual reporting.

More about you
You combine practical BI development capability with an understanding of Finance data and terminology. You can move confidently between a commercial question and the technical work needed to answer it, explaining complex ideas clearly to non-technical colleagues and recognising when data or a result does not look right. A Finance qualification may be useful, but it is not required where you can demonstrate equivalent experience working with Finance teams and data.
You are comfortable taking accountability for work from initial requirements through to delivery and support, prioritising effectively without close supervision. You bring curiosity about the business problem, apply structured development and control practices, and can constructively challenge stakeholders or technical designs when needed. Experience in retail, FMCG or another commercial environment would be helpful, particularly where you have worked with measures such as sales, margin, promotions, markdown, stock or supplier income.
Essential criteria
Evidence of preparing or transforming data using an ETL or data-preparation tool such as Alteryx, Power Query, dbt or an equivalent platform.
