Graduate Business Intelligence Analyst
Location: Shoreham-by-Sea (HQ)
Hybrid — home working Wednesday & Friday
Salary: £28,000
(Internal Job Level: Senior Associate)
Focus Group is a £300m-revenue, 1,400-person technology services company backed by Hg Capital. Following our $1bn valuation in 2024, we're scaling rapidly and investing in AI to transform how we operate and how we serve our 30,000 SME customers. As we continue to expand our portfolio through acquisition, we're building the data capability to match — and this role sits right at the heart of that.
About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing, Private Equity-backed ICT Services business at a time when the Data and Analytics function is core to the next phase of growth.
Our Data and Analytics team looks after the analytics capabilities across every division, acquisition, and product at Focus Group. As a Graduate Business Intelligence Analyst, you'll support the wider business with all things data — working closely with business leaders to spot trends, support change programmes, manage our existing BI (Business Intelligence) landscape, and report on how the business is performing.
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.
