Job Summary

This role will be offered on an initial fixed term contract until the beginning of 2025, with the possibility of either further extension or perhaps permanency, dependent upon how the role pans out.

We are seeking an experienced data analyst to come on board, gather data from our various internal systems, and use that data to provide recommendations for both short and long-term business improvement proposals that will drive our business forward over the next few years.

This is a great opportunity for someone who's a bit of an Excel guru, to join one of the Island's leading businesses, and demonstrate the indispensable value of having someone onboard with their skill set.

Unfortunately due to the importance of this person being involved in the heart of the business, we are unable to consider working from home - at least for the mean time - so you would need to be office based, here in our facilities in East Cowes

Oh, and you also need to be able to start pretty quickly, so the sooner you can make yourself available, the better please.

Job Responsibilities

Working closely with stakeholders from right across The Business, the data analyst will be responsible for extracting data from our many internal systems (CRM, ERP etc.), and using that data to provide meaningful reporting through data visualisation, together with recommendations for both short and long-term business improvement proposals (around inventory, capacity planning, sales, planning & scheduling etc.).

Job Qualifications

• Proven data analytics experience gained in the workplace;

• Deep, understanding of Excel;

• Critical thinker;

• Strong communicator;

• Previous experience of working within an industry such as our own would be advantageous, but not essential - this can be taught; all we really need is a critical thinker with strong data analytics, reporting and problem solving skills.

• Willing and able to be office-based full-time, here on The Isle of Wight

• Eligible to work in the UK without sponsorship

• Available to start fairly quickly

  We’ll offer you fantastic challenges and amazing opportunities. This is your chance to be part of an organisation that has proven itself to be at the cutting edge of our industry; and is committed to pushing the boundaries even further. And with some of the best training on offer in the industry, who knows how far you can go?
