Data Analyst

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential technology organisation seeking a Data Analyst to join their transformation team in Bristol. In this role, you will independently lead complex initiatives that improve business performance through data analytics, process change and AI-assisted workflows.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Lead business discovery and identify opportunities. Facilitate workshops to understand business objectives, information needs and current ways of working. Identify recurring needs and bring evidence-based opportunities forward, considering business value, feasibility, risk and potential for reuse across teams.
• Map and improve processes. Document current-state and future-state processes, including activities, decisions, ownership, handovers, controls, systems and data flows. Identify opportunities to simplify workflows, reduce manual effort and improve the quality and timeliness of decisions.
• Own requirements definition. Translate business needs into clear, prioritised requirements, business rules, user stories and acceptance criteria. Build agreement with stakeholders and maintain traceability between the original need, proposed changes, delivered functionality and intended outcomes.
• Deliver hands-on analytics. Use SQL to explore organisational and warehouse data, test hypotheses, investigate discrepancies and identify patterns or causes of operational problems. Build and validate repeatable analyses, reports, dashboards and measures that support business decisions, communicating findings and data limitations clearly.
• Enable agentic self-service data use. Work with technical colleagues to translate business questions and process needs into practical self-service data experiences. Help users discover data, ask questions, interpret trusted metrics and act on results. Validate that analytical and agentic interactions use agreed business definitions and meet user needs.
• Recommend practical solution approaches. Assess whether a need is best addressed through process changes, self-service analytics, existing tools, conventional automation or agentic workflows. Work with colleagues to balance business value, usability, complexity, risk, implementation effort and ongoing support.
• Design agentic workflows. Map how users, agents, systems and data should interact, using agreed solution patterns and access controls. Define business rules, proposed agent actions, human approval points, exception handling and fallback processes.
• Prototype, evaluate and validate solutions. Use AI-assisted development tools to develop and iterate analytical and agentic workflow prototypes, reviewing generated code and outputs against agreed quality standards. Coordinate user acceptance testing and validate solutions against agreed requirements.
• Use trusted data and appropriate controls. Partner with technical colleagues to define data requirements, clarify metric definitions and resolve data-quality issues. Apply agreed expectations for data access, sensitive information handling, documentation and traceability of automated actions.
• Own delivery of agreed initiatives. Develop practical delivery plans, coordinate business and technical contributions, and manage scope, priorities, dependencies and risks. Make evidence-based decisions within your remit.
• Support implementation and adoption. Help business teams introduce new processes and incorporate analytics and agentic workflows into daily activities. Clarify ownership, provide guidance and training, support operational handover and help users understand appropriate use, limitations and escalation routes.
• Measure outcomes and improve reliability. Agree success measures and establish baselines with business stakeholders. Review adoption, analytical accuracy, workflow reliability and business outcomes after implementation. Use evidence and user feedback to improve solutions and address unintended results.
• Strengthen shared capability. Contribute reusable analytical methods, process-mapping approaches, workflow patterns and testing practices. Provide constructive peer review, coaching and practical guidance to help colleagues and business users develop their skills and confidence.

What We're Looking For

Essential requirements:

• Demonstrated experience combining hands-on data analysis with business process improvement, taking complex initiatives from problem definition through delivery, implementation and adoption.
• Strong SQL skills, including the ability to explore analytical or warehouse data, investigate discrepancies, validate assumptions and assess data quality.
• Strong business analysis skills, including stakeholder discovery, current-state and future-state process mapping, requirements definition, business rules and acceptance criteria.
• Hands-on experience prototyping or evaluating AI-assisted or agentic workflows using business data, including testing outputs and actions, identifying failure cases and defining appropriate human oversight.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools for prototyping, analysis or technical problem-solving, with the ability to critically review generated code and outputs.
• Experience using business intelligence or data visualisation tools to develop practical analyses, reports or dashboards, supported by clearly defined and reliable measures.
• Strong analytical judgement and problem-solving skills, including the ability to identify underlying causes, evaluate solution options and recognise when a simpler approach is more appropriate.
• Strong facilitation, communication and influencing skills, including the ability to lead workshops, explain complex concepts to non-technical audiences and build agreement without relying on formal authority.
• Ability to independently plan and lead complex work, coordinate contributions across business and technical teams, manage competing priorities and make pragmatic delivery decisions.
• Experience testing and validating solutions, documenting changes and supporting users through implementation and adoption, with an understanding of appropriate data access and sensitive information handling.
• Must hold the right to work in the UK. Unfortunately, visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

Desirable:

• Experience implementing and supporting agentic workflows in production, including monitoring reliability, managing exceptions and supporting user adoption.
• Experience using Python or comparable tools for repeatable analysis, workflow prototyping or lightweight automation.
• Familiarity with APIs, curated datasets, semantic-layer concepts and analytics engineering practices.
• Experience enabling self-service analytics or applying structured process improvement and change management methods.
• Experience working in a technology, engineering or fast-moving product environment.
