Analyst - Retail

As an Analyst in Retail Transformation Analytics, you will deliver analytics projects from understanding the business problem through to insight and recommendation. You will work closely with stakeholders across Retail Transformation and the wider business, translating their challenges into clear analytical questions and using SQL and Python to explore large, complex datasets.

Day to day, you could be combining data from different sources, applying exploratory and statistical analysis, developing and evaluating analytical models, or measuring the impact of trials and operational changes. You will turn your findings into practical recommendations, communicate them clearly through data visualisation and storytelling, and make sure your analysis is reliable by checking data quality, testing assumptions and explaining limitations or uncertainty.

You use analytical thinking and technical capability to solve real business problems. You can break a question into a logical analytical approach, select an appropriate technique and explain why it fits the problem. You are comfortable working with SQL and Python and have applied statistical concepts and modelling techniques in practice.

You look beyond what the data says to explain why it matters and what action could follow. You communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences, work collaboratively with colleagues and stakeholders, and have the curiosity to ask questions and challenge assumptions. You take ownership of your work and development, with a focus on accurate, useful analysis and better outcomes for customers, colleagues and the business.

The team partners with colleagues across the business to identify opportunities, test ideas and develop analytical solutions that improve store processes, colleague experiences and the way we serve customers.
