## Description

As a Lead Analyst, you will lead complex analytics projects from problem definition through to recommendation and implementation. You will partner with stakeholders across Retail Transformation and the wider business, bringing structure to ambiguous challenges, defining the right analytical approach and ensuring the work supports clear decisions and measurable outcomes.

Day to day, you will combine data, commercial understanding and operational context to turn analysis into practical action. You will communicate complex findings through clear data storytelling, work at pace without compromising analytical rigour and stay focused on the value each project is intended to create. You will also manage and develop an Analyst, coach colleagues across the wider team and help improve the team's analytical approaches, tools and ways of working.

You can take an unclear business problem, structure it and determine an appropriate analytical approach. You have demonstrable SQL capability with large and complex datasets, alongside a track record of delivering analysis that leads to practical recommendations and measurable business impact. Experience using Python or R for statistical analysis, modelling or automation would be beneficial but is not essential.

You use commercial and operational judgement to understand what analytical findings mean in practice. You can explain complex concepts to technical and non-technical audiences, influence decisions and constructively challenge stakeholders. You are collaborative, curious and evidence-led, and you support the development of others through line management, coaching, mentoring or technical leadership.

The successful candidate will be offered a competitive salary plus benefits, including colleague discount, pension scheme, life cover, performance-related bonus, annual holiday allowance, season ticket loans, cycle to work scheme, health cash plans, salary advance, and access to a great range of discounts from hundreds of other retailers.
