About InvestEngine
InvestEngine is everything the modern investor should need. Unbeatable value, market-leading automation, and built for easy, long-term investing. We’ve built a strong foundation, have over £2 billion invested, award-winning service, and a passionate team, now we’re ready to scale.
Role Overview
As an Analyst, you will play a key role within the Analytics team, initially focused on data governance and compliance — spanning topics such as Consumer Duty, CASS, KYC/AML, and data protection — with the expectation of broadening into general analytics support across the business over time. You will work closely with stakeholders across Compliance, Risk, Operations, Product, and Commercial to translate governance and regulatory requirements into clear, well-documented data controls, reports, and dashboards — using a modern, automated tech stack.
This role is best suited to an analytically minded person with an engineering mindset: someone who instinctively looks to automate and simplify rather than accept a manual, spreadsheet-driven process, and who is confident proposing new ways of working, new team structures, or new technology when the current approach isn't fit for purpose. You should be comfortable with ambiguity in a growing analytics function, and want to work in a modern, automation- and AI-enabled way rather than through manual, ad hoc reporting.
Key Responsibilities
Governance & Compliance
- Support the design and rollout of a data governance framework: data ownership, definitions, lineage, and retention policies.
- Partner with Compliance, Risk, and Legal stakeholders to translate regulatory requirements (e.g., Consumer Duty, CASS, KYC/AML, GDPR) into concrete data controls, monitoring, and reporting.
- Maintain and evolve the analytics glossary, data catalogue, and semantic layer so compliance-related metrics are clearly defined, consistent, and auditable.
- Support internal and external audit requests with well-documented, reproducible analysis.
Modern Analytics & Automation
- Build and maintain data transformations and models using SQL and dbt, following version-controlled, tested, and documented practices.
- Automate recurring reports, reconciliations, and alerts to reduce manual effort and strengthen controls.
- Use AI-enabled tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot) responsibly to accelerate analysis, coding, QA, and documentation, within agreed data-handling and compliance guardrails.
- Contribute to modern software-engineering practices for analytics: version control (git), peer review of dbt models/queries, and lightweight CI/CD where relevant.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Ways of Working & Continuous Improvement
- Default to automating and simplifying: question manual, spreadsheet-driven, or one-off processes rather than just repeating them.
- Propose new tools, architectures, or ways of working where the current setup is holding the team back — this role is expected to shape the analytics function's approach, not just operate within it.
- Bring an engineering-influenced approach to analytics work: reusable, testable, version-controlled, rather than one-off scripts or manual spreadsheets.
Reporting & Dashboards
- Build and maintain dashboards and reports using modern BI tools.
- Ensure metrics are correctly defined, documented, and consistent with the data catalogue and semantic layer.
- As the role broadens, support the wider analytics team with ad hoc analysis outside governance and compliance.
Data Quality & Documentation
- Work with the Chief Data Officer to ensure data accuracy, reconciliation, and quality.
- Contribute to data documentation, definitions, and the analytics glossary.
- Raise data quality issues and support root-cause analysis.
Stakeholder Collaboration
- Work closely with business and compliance stakeholders to understand requirements and analytical needs.
- Clearly communicate insights and findings in a structured, accessible way.
- Support decision-making by translating complex analysis and regulatory detail into clear narratives.
Requirements & Skills
- Experience in a Data Analyst, Business Analyst, Compliance Analyst, or similar role.
- Strong SQL skills; hands-on experience with dbt, or a strong aptitude and willingness to learn modern transformation tooling quickly.
- Familiarity with data governance and one or more relevant regulatory/compliance topics (e.g., Consumer Duty, CASS, KYC/AML, GDPR, Market Abuse Regulation, data retention) is desirable.
- An engineering mindset — a demonstrated habit of automating, simplifying, or redesigning a manual process rather than living with it, even where that means suggesting a new tool or way of working.
- Experience or strong interest in using AI tools to enhance analytical workflows — e.g., AI-assisted coding, prompt engineering, automation of repetitive tasks.
- Comfortable with version control (git) and other modern, engineering-influenced ways of working.
- Experience with modern BI tools (e.g., Metabase, Lightdash, Omni, Looker).
- Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving ability.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills, including with non-technical, compliance-focused stakeholders.
- Confidence to challenge the status quo and propose alternatives, backed by data and sound reasoning.
- Experience in fintech or financial services is desirable but not essential.
