Are you an experienced Analytics professional looking to step into a true deputy leadership position within a high‑impact data team? I’m hiring for a Lead Analyst role at a large, mission‑driven organisation in the education space, working across international recruitment, marketing, and student progression. This is a role with real ownership, visibility, and progression within the analytics function.
You’ll report into a Senior Data Analytics Lead who is balancing both strategic and hands‑on responsibilities, and now needs someone who can take the reins operationally, lead a small team, and elevate analytics maturity across the organisation.
What you’ll be doing
- Lead and mentor a small analytics team (2 Analysts + Data Executive), setting high standards for delivery.
- Act as the primary analytics partner for Marketing, International Recruitment, Product, and Operations, turning data into decision‑ready insights.
- Own BAU reporting across pipeline, conversion, enrolment performance, and agency activity.
- Build robust Power BI data models and dashboards end‑to‑end — including semantic layers and scalable modelling patterns.
- Partner with IT/Data Engineering to re‑engineer pipelines and align on data requirements as the business migrates to a new data platform.
- Support ongoing migration projects (Looker/Tableau → Power BI; BigQuery → Fabric).
- Improve KPI consistency, reporting standards, and analytics best practice across the function.
- Contribute to early forecasting and predictive initiatives alongside Data Science.
What you bring
Must‑haves:
- 5+ years in analytics/BI roles with proven team leadership experience.
- Advanced SQL and the ability to review and coach others on code quality.
- Power BI expertise, not just building dashboards, but modelling data end‑to‑end (semantic models, DAX, data modelling best practice).
Nice to have (but not required):
- Background working with marketing, recruitment, commercial, or customer‑facing teams.
- Experience with data warehouses like Fabric, BigQuery, Snowflake, Azure or similar.
- Exposure to Looker, Tableau, or BI migration projects.
Why this role is great
- High autonomy — you’ll be the go‑to operational leader for analytics.
- Strong progression — the Senior Lead was promoted quickly; this role is positioned as next in line.
- Real impact — your insights influence student recruitment and global education access.
- Modernisation roadmap — migration to Power BI and Fabric, re‑engineering pipelines, defining metrics.
- Global exposure — stakeholders across multiple regions, plus travel opportunities.
Salary & package
- £55,000–£65,000 base
- Up to 20% bonus
- Remote‑friendly, with London office options
- Strong benefits and development support
