About the role:

Success in our data team is about enabling better decisions, faster. At the core of this mission sits our data platform which enables powerful, real-time analytics that empower the wider business.

We're looking for a Data Analyst to join our ambitious multi-disciplinary team. You'll build robust data models, help define the right metrics to monitor the impact of new features and develop reports and visualisations to inform key stakeholders. You'll do this by collaborating with our product managers to keep abreast of one-off insights, upcoming and existing features, and how you can help them with their respective quarterly targets and KPIs.

We work in cross-functional squads where every data analyst is a member of the central Data Discipline but will be fully embedded into one area (this role will be embedded within one of our product pillars, working closely with Data Scientists, Engineers, Designers and Product Managers).

At Motorway we work with cutting-edge data infrastructure such as _dbt, Google BigQuery, Google AI platform, Looker, Google Analytics, Data Studio, Jupyter Notebooks, Colab and more. You'll also have plenty of development and training opportunities in a truly forward thinking company. The role is fast-moving and varied so the ideal candidate will have a love for problem-solving, data and idea creation.

We aim to automate as much as we can, so that every person in the team can focus on the important things.

Requirements:

• You have an understanding of the end-to-end data science process from sourcing to ETL, data warehousing, and onto data visualisation
• You have solid grounding in SQL and preferably Python (numpy, pandas, matplotlib, sklearn etc.)
• You're happy designing impactful reporting dashboards that can serve technical and non-technical audiences
• You have a demonstrable interest in ML methods and their business applications
• You have a 'Never stop learning' attitude and interest in emerging technologies
• You have strong organisation skills to ensure the delivery of projects on time along with BAU requests in a fast paced environment
• You have a self-starter mindset and a pragmatic approach to problem solving
• You enjoy working with multiple teams and fostering meaningful stakeholder relationships across the business
• You're a natural collaborator and team player
