Junior Data Analyst
We're looking for a Junior Data Analyst to join our Data & Development team, where you'll have the opportunity to develop your analytical skills, work with a variety of data assets, and contribute to solutions that support both internal teams and external customers. Working alongside experienced Data Analysts, Developers, and Architects, you'll gain valuable hands-on experience while contributing to the delivery of data solutions, data-driven products, and insights that make a real impact.
As a Junior Data Analyst, you'll:
- Analyse and interpret data to understand its structure, quality, and business value.
- Support the creation of data-driven insights, reports, and analytical outputs for a range of stakeholders.
- Work closely with colleagues across the business to gather requirements and understand how data can support decision-making.
- Contribute to the development and delivery of data solutions through data analysis, modelling activities, and supporting documentation.
- Support and work within Agile delivery processes, helping to manage priorities, support sprint activities, and deliver high-quality outcomes.
- Participate in testing and quality assurance activities, including User Acceptance Testing, to ensure data solutions are accurate and reliable.
- Support data management activities such as data acquisitions, data reviews, and ensuring data retention policies are followed.
- Learn from experienced colleagues while developing your technical, analytical, and stakeholder engagement skills.
Skills & experience that will set you up for success in this role:
- A degree in Computer Science, Data Analytics, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
- Experience in writing basic SQL queries and an understanding of relational and non-relational databases.
- A basic understanding of data analysis concepts and techniques.
- Strong analytical thinking skills and an eagerness to explore, interpret, and learn from data and stakeholders.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical concepts in a clear, simple way.
- A proactive and curious approach, with a willingness to learn, ask questions, and continuously develop your skills.
- A quality-focused mindset with an interest in testing and validating data outputs.
- The ability to work collaboratively within cross-functional teams and adapt to changing priorities.
- Exposure to Power BI, Python, or other data analysis tools or coding languages would be beneficial, but isn't essential.
- Awareness of Agile delivery methodologies, version control, and modern development practices would be advantageous.
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.
Did you know...
