About the Role

At Autotrader, we love data and believe decisions are best made when data is involved. We’re looking for a Business Insight Analyst to join our Finance Systems and BI team. The team is responsible for developing insightful reporting and analysis to enable data-driven business decisions.

As a Business Insight Analyst, you will be responsible for:

  • Analysing and reviewing big data models
  • Translating this into feature-rich business insight capabilities
  • Utilising the latest tools and techniques available on our data platform
  • Managing and maintaining the Looker reporting suite
  • Handling support requests
  • Assisting with data analysis
  • Developing and maintaining our data pipelines

You’ll provide first-line support for Looker development, maintenance, and queries, while also partnering with our Finance colleagues to ensure our data is structured and surfaced in a way that allows the most accurate and impactful analyses to be undertaken.

You’ll also be part of our journey to improve our data-driven decision-making through the development of data packages, reports, and visualisation dashboards, adding these to our BI suite. Providing training and guidance to our Finance colleagues in understanding existing reporting and enabling them to self-serve analysis will also form a core part of this role. Ultimately, you will establish yourself as the subject matter authority in business intelligence across the team.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
