Data Analyst, Central Analytics

The role

The central analytics team connects the dots on what's driving overall business performance; we provide clear insights that empower people to spot opportunities and ask the right next questions. Our analysis is underpinned by a comprehensive understanding of Deliveroo's core metrics and financial data. We're looking for collaborative people with an exceptional drive and curiosity, who can take ambiguous questions, and work to address that with data analysis. You will report to a Science manager.

What you'll be doing

• Work closely with senior business and finance leadership to create value and business impact through better data availability, visualisation and analysis
• Discover, analyse, and interpret trends or patterns in complex datasets to perform ad-hoc analyses and deliver insights to the executive team and senior management
• Automate this analysis and build new tooling in cases where it will empower self-serve insights and improve decision-making quality
• Understand key financial and growth drivers of the business and provide data driven guidance on key levers
• Identify and specify data needs and quality requirements and work closely with Data Engineers to ensure data is available, accurate and corresponds to the business needs
• Consolidate and distribute best analytical practices from different teams and countries

Requirements

• Strong problem solving abilities involving identifying the root cause of problems, assessing risks/impacts and determining and implementing effective solutions.
• Compelling story-telling skills, and an eye for powerful visualisations - you'll need to translate your findings for all levels of stakeholder (business and technical)
• A good understanding of querying in SQL and understanding of database structure - you'll be expected to be able to extract the data you need for your analysis.
• Good knowledge of Excel/GSheets - depending on the task, there is a good chance that this is where some of your exploratory analysis will take place. Being comfortable with pivot tables and functions will be essential.

Nice to haves:

• Developer experience with a data visualisation tool (Looker, Tableau, Periscope)
• Interest or background in finance
• Understanding of another coding language (Python/R)
