About This Role
We're a fast-growing legal tech startup looking for a Data Analyst to join our Data and Analytics team. While this is a generalist analytics role with exposure across the business, you will have a primary focus on Finance and Revenue, partnering closely with our Finance team, Engineering, and leadership to ensure we have accurate, timely, and actionable financial insights across our UK and US markets.
You will have ownership over revenue and finance analytics, working with our modern data stack (BigQuery, dbt, Hex) alongside spreadsheet-based financial models to build data pipelines, reconcile complex payment flows, and surface insights that shape our financial strategy. Your work will directly influence how we track performance against budget, forecast revenue, and support critical business decisions including M&A activity. While your initial focus will be on Finance, this is a generalist role — as you grow with the team, you'll have the opportunity to expand your scope across product, marketing, and operations, contributing to the full breadth of analytical work across the business.
What You'll Do
General Analytics
- Conduct ad-hoc analyses across the business to answer strategic questions and support decision-making.
- Proactively identify trends, anomalies, and emerging patterns in data, surfacing insights that may not be immediately obvious to stakeholders.
- Contribute to the development and maintenance of core data models in dbt, ensuring data quality and consistency across the organisation.
Revenue & Financial Analysis
- Track and analyse performance against budget, providing variance analysis and early warning systems for budget deviations before month-end close.
- Conduct deep-dive analyses into revenue streams, profitability, and billing patterns across legal areas and markets.
- Support forecasting and scenario modelling for business planning, including pricing changes, market expansion, and other strategic initiatives.
Data Infrastructure & Reporting
- Develop and maintain core data models in dbt for revenue metrics, ensuring consistency and accuracy across teams.
- Automate month-end reporting workflows currently handled manually in spreadsheets, while maintaining the flexibility finance teams need.
- Establish standardised financial data definitions and documentation to ensure consistency across teams and markets.
Cross-functional Partnership
- Translate Finance team needs into clear data and engineering requirements, owning the relationship between technical implementation and business outcomes.
- Support M&A activity including due diligence, integration, and standardisation of financial metrics across entities in the Group.
About You
