Senior BI Analyst

I'm hiring a Senior BI Developer / Senior Data Analyst for one of the UK's largest automotive parts businesses, currently investing heavily in data, analytics, and modern reporting capabilities.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a business going through significant transformation, helping move the organisation from manual reporting and legacy processes towards automated reporting, self-service analytics, and ultimately more advanced analytical capabilities.

A major UK retail and distribution business operating hundreds of branches nationwide and generating hundreds of millions in annual revenue.

Following significant investment and ambitious growth plans, the business is modernising its technology and analytics landscape, having recently migrated to Azure and begun investing heavily in data and reporting capability.

The goal is simple: use data to help become the market-leading provider in the sector.
