Ever wondered what happens when raw data meets real curiosity? That's where you come in.

We're looking for a Data Analyst who loves digging into the details and surfacing the story behind the numbers. You'll transform complex data into clear, actionable insights that help our leaders see what's really driving performance — and where the next big opportunity is hiding.

Working across multiple sites and partnering closely with our Data Insights Manager and operational leaders, you'll be the go-to person for accurate, timely reporting that people actually trust and use. You'll help keep an eye on the metrics that matter, spot trends before they become problems, and play a key role in building a genuinely data-driven culture — one where decisions are backed by evidence, not guesswork.

• Keep dashboards, reports, and analysis accurate, on time, and genuinely useful for the people relying on them
• Dig into the data to uncover insights that help the business run better — not just report what happened, but why
• Pull, clean, and validate data from across multiple systems, so everyone's working from numbers they can trust
• Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and scorecards that make performance easy to see at a glance

• Spot the trends, risks, and opportunities hiding in the data before they become headlines
• Get stuck into root cause investigations when something needs solving
• Keep reporting consistent and above board, following good data governance practices
• Help standardize how we measure and report things, so everyone's speaking the same language
• Lend your analytical brain to strategic projects and continuous improvement work
• Look for smarter, faster ways to automate reporting, less manual grind, more time for real analysis
• Be a genuine champion for data quality and decisions backed by evidence, not gut feel

• A degree in Data Analytics, Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, Business Analytics, Statistics, or equivalent hands-on experience
• A naturally analytical mind, you like getting to the bottom of things and solving problems, not just spotting them
• Comfort working with large, messy datasets pulled from multiple sources
• Advanced Excel skills that go well beyond VLOOKUP
• Hands-on experience with Power BI or a similar visualization tool
• A sharp eye for detail, you notice when something doesn't quite add up
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to work with stakeholders at all levels
• The ability to explain technical findings in plain English, so non-technical audiences actually get it
• Experience in manufacturing, operations, or supply chain is a real plus, but not essential
• Bonus points for knowledge of SQL, data modelling, or automation tool

Although we do encourage you to taste the goods, you'll be pleased to know we don't pay you in chips. Alongside your salary, you'll enjoy a range of benefits including:

• Private healthcare [single]
• An excellent salary sacrifice pension scheme where we'll contribute double what you do, up to a maximum of 12% of your salary
• 25 days' annual leave from day one plus bank holidays (increasing with service), giving you plenty of time to recharge with the opportunity to buy and sell up to 5 days holiday per year
• Life insurance cover providing peace of mind for you and…
