We are seeking a highly motivated and forward-thinking Data Analyst to join a dynamic team dedicated to building cutting-edge data capabilities. In this pivotal role, you won't just analyse data; you'll be instrumental in shaping strategy, enabling actionable insights, and establishing robust, AI-ready data foundations that scale across multiple regions.

Key Responsibilities

• Build robust data foundations by collaborating with engineering to develop pipelines, enhance data integrity, and establish clear metric definitions and governance tailored for international markets.
• Develop data capabilities that function consistently across multiple regions and countries, while adapting to specific local requirements (e.g., regulatory, language, or workflow differences).
• Automate recurring reporting and validation processes to boost accuracy and efficiency, ensuring data structures and taxonomies are optimized for downstream AI consumption and model-readiness.
• Create and maintain scalable, user-friendly dashboards that provide comprehensive visibility into key performance metrics, designing reporting that connects metrics across the entire customer journey rather than in isolated silos.
• Deliver deep-dive analytics by conducting root cause analysis to uncover drivers of customer pain points, digital adoption challenges, and operational inefficiencies.
• Translate analytical findings into actionable recommendations that improve customer journeys, optimise staffing and routing decisions, and reduce escalations.
• Advance AI-native analytics by leveraging Generative AI tools to automate recurring insight generation, support AI-powered summarisation and anomaly detection, and identify opportunities to replace manual workflows with intelligent automation.
• Enable experimentation and continuous improvement by supporting A/B testing and digital experience evaluations, analysing performance outcomes, and quantifying customer and business impact.
• Provide baseline metrics, monitor results, and deliver insights to scale successful initiatives, including evaluating the performance and customer impact of AI-assisted and digital experiences.
• Influence strategy through compelling storytelling, communicating insights and trends clearly and persuasively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders to ensure alignment on decisions that enhance customer experience, digital adoption, operational performance, and supportability.

Required Skills & Experience

• Solid experience in Data Analytics or Data Science, with ideal exposure to Customer Success, Operations, or Digital Experience domains.
• Proficiency in SQL for data extraction, transformation, and pipeline development.
• Experience with dashboarding and visualisation tools (e.g., Tableau, Qlik, or similar).
• Familiarity with big data tools (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, Spark) and ETL processes.
• Proven ability to communicate analytical findings in clear, actionable narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to balance strategic priorities and tactical execution.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• Proactive and growth-oriented mindset, consistently identifying opportunities for innovation.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience with Python or R for advanced analytics, automation, or experimentation support.
• Knowledge of statistical methods and experimentation (e.g., A/B testing).
• Machine learning and Generative AI experience.
• A genuine enthusiasm for Generative AI and a growth mindset toward how emerging tools can accelerate analytical work, actively curious about how LLMs, AI-native workflows, and intelligent automation can enhance impact.
• Hands-on experience applying Generative AI to analytics workflows (e.g., automated insight generation, AI-assisted analysis, or LLM-enhanced data pipelines).
• Experience working with call centre and/or digital support KPIs.
• BS or MS in an appropriate quantitative field.
