Data Analyst - Manchester or Leeds | Hybrid (3 Days in Office)
Up to £65,000 + Bonus + Exceptional Benefits
I'm excited to be partnering with one of my favourite clients on a brand-new Data Analyst opportunity within their growing Data & AI function.
This is an opportunity to join a business that genuinely invests in both its people and technology, offering a fantastic benefits package, strong career progression and the chance to work alongside Data Engineering, AI and Analytics specialists.
The Role:
This is far more than a dashboard-building position. You'll be responsible for turning complex data into meaningful business recommendations, helping stakeholders understand not only what's happening, but why it's happening and what actions should be taken as a result.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Working across multiple business areas, you'll uncover insights, influence decision-making and help drive commercial outcomes through data.
What They're Looking For:
- Strong SQL skills
- Strong Python skills
- Experience delivering actionable insights and recommendations
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
- Ability to translate data into compelling business stories
- Strong analytical and statistical mindset
- Experience working with medium to large datasets
- Proven experience as a Data Analyst in a commercial environment
Bonus Points For:
- Experience within Financial Services or another regulated industry
- Exposure to AI tools such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude or similar
The Ideal Candidate
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The hiring manager is particularly interested in speaking with analysts who can demonstrate:
- Examples of analysis that directly influenced business decisions
- Experience improving processes, customer outcomes or commercial performance
- A genuine curiosity for understanding the "why" behind the data
- Strong critical thinking and problem-solving abilities
If your background is heavily focused on reporting and dashboard development alone, this probably won't be the right fit.
If you're passionate about generating insights, influencing stakeholders and driving real business impact through data, I'd love to speak with you.
