Business Data Analyst (Fixed-Term Contract)

Location: Hybrid / UK-based (with site or office attendance as required)

Contract: Fixed-Term Contract (initially 3-6 months, with potential extension)

Salary: £35,000 - £42,000 (pro rata)

Clearance: SC Cleared (Ideally existing SC)

The Opportunity

An established organisation operating within a highly regulated, safety-critical environment is entering an important phase of data and reporting maturity and is seeking a Business Data Analyst on a fixed-term basis.

This role will play a key part in improving how data is captured, structured, reported, and used across programmes - supporting both operational delivery and commercial decision-making. You'll work closely with stakeholders across commercial, operations, and functional teams to identify problems, build meaningful dashboards, and introduce clearer, more consistent ways of working.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys solving problems through data, improving underdeveloped processes, and operating in complex, stakeholder-heavy environments.

Key Responsibilities

Work with business stakeholders to understand reporting problems, data gaps, and decision-making requirements

Design and develop clear, effective dashboards and reports (primarily using Power BI)

Map existing processes and data flows, identifying inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement

Improve consistency and accuracy of management information across departments

Support commercial and operational teams with data-driven insight

Help define and document end-user reporting requirements

Act as a bridge between technical data outputs and non-technical stakeholders

Introduce structure and clarity where processes and reporting are not yet fully defined

Engage confidently across a range of functions in a regulated environment

What You'll Bring

Proven experience as a Business Data Analyst, Data Analyst, or Business Improvement Analyst

Strong experience building dashboards and reports, particularly using Power BI

Confidence analysing and interpreting data to produce actionable insight

Experience working across commercial, operational, or programme environments

Strong process-mapping and problem-solving capability

Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills

A proactive, curious mindset with the confidence to work independently

Strong working knowledge of the Microsoft suite (Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)

Experience working in highly regulated sectors such as nuclear, infrastructure, engineering, or construction would be beneficial, but is not essential.
