Data Analyst | Business Intelligence & Operational Transformation
Southwark, London | Hybrid / Flexible Working | Salary / Day Rate Flexible for the Right Person
Some Data Analysts enjoy working with clean datasets.
Others enjoy creating order where structure doesn’t yet exist.
This opportunity is firmly aimed at the second group.
We’re working as the exclusive recruitment partner to an established top tier consultancy that is already recognised as a leader within its specialist field.
Rather than standing still, the business is entering a genuinely transformative phase.
With a newly appointed Chief Development Officer leading a significant transformation programme, they are investing in new systems, new business streams and a technology platform designed to simplify how complex project information is captured, structured and used.
At the heart of that transformation is data.
The business has grown quickly, and like many fast-moving organisations, information now exists across different systems, formats, spreadsheets, documents and processes.
Your role will be to help bring clarity to that complexity.
This isn’t simply about producing reports.
It’s about understanding what information exists, where it lives, whether it can be trusted, how it connects and how it can be transformed into reliable, meaningful insight that the business can confidently act upon.
You will work directly alongside the Chief Development Officer, helping create the information foundations behind a new platform that will support both day‑to‑day operations and senior leadership decision‑making.
For the right person, this is an opportunity to make a visible impact from very early on.
You will be helping shape not just the dashboards people use today, but the information architecture that will support the business as it continues to grow.
What you will be doing…
You will play a central role in helping the business better understand and use its information, including:
- Reviewing existing data sources, systems and reporting processes.
- Cleaning, structuring and validating fragmented information.
- Identifying inconsistencies, duplication and gaps.
- Creating dashboards and reports that are clear, visual and genuinely useful.
- Supporting senior leadership with meaningful management information.
- Improving data quality, structure and confidence across the business through better processes, automation and reporting.
- Helping shape how information flows through the wider platform.
- Turning complex operational information into clear insight, highlighting trends, risks and opportunities that support better business decisions.
We are particularly interested in people who…
- Enjoy untangling messy information and making it useful.
- Can think commercially, not just technically.
- Know how to build dashboards that help people make decisions.
- Communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders.
- Are naturally organised, curious and detail-focused.
- Enjoy improving systems and processes rather than simply working within them.
- Are comfortable working in an environment where not everything has been perfectly defined yet.
Experience with tools such as Excel, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio or similar BI platforms would be valuable.
Experience within construction, property, architecture, engineering or project‑led environments would be useful… but it isn’t essential.
What’s far more important is your ability to take fragmented information, create structure where little currently exists and transform it into reliable, meaningful insight that people trust.
Why this opportunity is different…
- Work directly with the Chief Development Officer from day one.
- Help build the data foundations of a new technology platform.
- Create dashboards and insight that will be used by senior leadership.
- Join a business investing heavily in operational transformation.
- Influence how information is structured, reported and understood.
- Enjoy genuine autonomy and the opportunity to shape the role around your strengths.
- Be part of a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where good ideas carry weight.
Finding the right fit…
One thing that stood out throughout our conversations with the hiring manager was how open‑minded they are about finding the right person.
Rather than forcing candidates into a rigid structure, they are genuinely open to exploring different working arrangements depending on experience, availability and suitability.
This could potentially suit someone looking for a permanent role, fixed‑term contract, part‑time arrangement or consulting‑style engagement.
As a guide, the role has initially been benchmarked around £40,000 – £45,000 FTE, although there is flexibility depending on experience and working pattern.
The role will involve regular time in the Southwark office, particularly early on, because understanding the business, people, systems and historical information will be essential. That said, the business is pragmatic and open to discussing a sensible hybrid arrangement for the right person.
If you’re someone who enjoys creating clarity from complexity and wants to play a meaningful role in shaping how a growing business uses data, we would love to tell you more.
