Lead Data Analyst
Greater Birmingham | Hybrid
Are you an experienced data analyst looking for a leadership role where your insights directly impact commercial and operational decisions? Our client is seeking a Lead Data Analyst to manage a team of three analysts. This is a unique opportunity to lead a team, drive operational efficiencies, and influence key stakeholders across Finance, Commercial, Customer Service, and Operations.
This is not just a reporting role—it’s about turning data into meaningful business decisions, insights, and storytelling. By focusing on automating reporting inefficiencies, optimising planning, and driving operational insights, you will play a key role in shaping data-driven strategies.
What You’ll Do
You will lead a team of analysts, ensuring they develop into high-impact contributors who drive meaningful business improvements. Through a combination of hands-on analytics and leadership (roughly 50/50), you will work closely with senior stakeholders to identify inefficiencies, optimise processes, and translate complex data into actionable insights. Your role will involve balancing hands-on technical problem-solving with strategic leadership, ensuring the team stays focused on delivering value. You’ll also be key in automating and optimising reporting, transitioning from static reports to real-time, insight-driven analytics. Additionally, you will foster a data-driven culture within the business, championing best practices and promoting the adoption of modern analytics tools.
What You’ll Need to Succeed
✔ Proven Leadership Experience – Comfortable managing and developing a team, providing guidance, and fostering a collaborative environment.
✔ Strong Analytical Skills – Able to extract meaningful insights from complex datasets and demonstrate clear business impact.
✔ Technical Expertise – Strong experience with SQL, Power BI, Python/PySpark; Databricks is a plus but not essential.
✔ Stakeholder Management – Confident in engaging with senior stakeholders, translating data into compelling narratives that drive business decisions.
✔ Commercial Mindset – A background in operational or commercial analytics (e.g., logistics, supply chain, marketing) within the private sector is highly desirable.
✔ Problem-Solving Ability – More than just a dashboard expert—you know how to turn data into real-world solutions that optimise operations.
