What You’ll do

Your key accountabilities will include

• Develop and deliver analytical solutions that support the Property insight strategy and help inform the Estate Rotation and Modernisation plan.

• Translate senior stakeholder requirements into a clear pipeline of analysis, modelling, MI and controls reporting activity.

• Build practical, interpretable descriptive and predictive models that help answer complex Property and Location Planning questions.

• Create compelling narratives from robust analysis, moving confidently from the detail of the “what” to the commercial “so what”.

• Provide guidance and analytical support to Data Analyst and Data Manager colleagues, while sharing knowledge and best practice across M&S.

Who you are

Your skills and experience will include

• You have at least two years’ practical experience in an advanced analytical role, with a track record of solving business problems through analysis and innovative thinking.

• You are highly numerate and technically confident, with experience in SQL, complex data mining, dataset modelling and at least one programming language such as Python, R or Java.

• You build trusted stakeholder relationships through open communication, ownership and accountability, and are comfortable presenting to senior audiences.

• You are curious, methodical and creative in improving ways of working; experience in spatial analytics, location planning, retail, consulting or business analysis would be an advantage.
