Undertake deep dive and outward facing analytics to identify key trends, data patterns and cause and effect including: business case or financial modelling to support identification and delivery of transformational projects; macro analysis of economic or the business environment to help inform strategic risks or opportunities (e.g. competitor analysis in conjunction with the Marketing team).
Develop the use of BI tools and the data warehouse and cube to automate provision of trend analysis and predictive modelling, using data visualisation techniques to deliver complex information in more simple formats.
PERSON SPECIFICATION
A track record of undertaking analytics in a professional / commercial environment, translating results into recommendations and insight.
Strong working knowledge of reporting from relational databases, using report development tools such as SQL and SSRS to extract data from a range of systems.
Proven ability to use BI tools and data visualisation techniques to push MI on into delivery of proactive insights in more simple formats; Microsoft Power BI experience would be an advantage.

An ability to engage proactively with colleagues across the Group to ensure key data, trends and patterns are understood and used to inform and drive thinking and actions based on the analysis and recommendations.
