Lead Data Analyst – Remote (UK)

I am looking for a Lead Data Analyst focused on owning the end-to-end delivery of data strategy and analytics for a portfolio of key clients. The focus is on building robust data foundations, shaping client strategy, and ensuring analytics work translates directly into measurable commercial outcomes.

You will act as a senior partner across both technical delivery and client engagement, bridging the gap between data engineering, analytics, and marketing performance. This role combines hands-on technical work with strategic influence, owning everything from data modelling through to C-suite insight delivery.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and deliver end-to-end data projects, from defining client strategy through to insight generation and presentation
  • Act as the senior data partner for key accounts, shaping roadmaps and building long-term client relationships
  • Design and build scalable data models and transformations within modern data stacks
  • Translate complex datasets into clear, commercially focused insights for senior stakeholders
  • Drive best practice across data modelling, visualisation, and analytical output quality
  • Manage multiple workstreams, ensuring prioritisation, delivery, and stakeholder alignment

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong experience in a data-focused role within a digital, marketing, or consulting environment
  • Strong SQL and experience building data models (e.g. dbt or similar tooling)
  • Experience working directly with clients or stakeholders, owning relationships and strategic direction
  • Strong understanding of digital marketing, including tracking, attribution, and performance channels
  • Ability to translate complex technical work into clear, actionable insights for non-technical audiences
  • Experience with data visualisation tools (e.g. Tableau, Looker) and storytelling through data
  • Comfortable operating across both hands-on technical delivery and high-level strategic conversations
  • Experience mentoring or supporting more junior analysts

You need to be based in the UK.

Unfortunately this role can not offer sponsorship.
