📊 Data Analyst / Market Analyst – European Markets | 12-Month Contract
📍 London, King’s Cross | Hybrid
💷 £38.36 per hour PAYE + holiday pay
📅 12-month contract
🏢 Tuesday–Thursday onsite | Monday & Friday remote
We are recruiting for an experienced Data Analyst / Market Analyst to join a leading global technology and digital platform business on a 12-month contract.
This is a strategic, commercially focused analytics role supporting a European business and go-to-market function. You’ll investigate performance across different European markets, identify opportunities and challenges, and turn complex data into clear recommendations for senior stakeholders.
This is not a traditional reporting or dashboard-focused role. You’ll be given broad business questions, develop hypotheses, interrogate the data yourself and determine why something is happening and what the business should do about it.
🔎 What you'll be doing
- Conducting market and country-level analysis across Europe, identifying performance trends, opportunities and areas requiring further investigation.
- Comparing performance across European markets and identifying the commercial, customer or product factors driving differences.
- Taking ambiguous business questions and developing a structured, hypothesis-led analytical approach.
- Using SQL independently to extract, manipulate and analyse large datasets.
- Combining quantitative analysis with qualitative stakeholder insight to understand business performance.
- Translating complex analysis into clear insights, recommendations and action plans.
- Presenting findings directly to senior regional and country-level stakeholders.
- Partnering with Product, Marketing, Finance and Go-to-Market teams.
- Owning approximately 2–3 substantial strategic analytical projects per quarter.
🎯 What we're looking for
- Around 4–5+ years' experience in an analytically intensive role such as Data Analyst, Business Analyst, Market Analyst, Market Intelligence Analyst, Commercial Analyst or Strategy Analyst.
- Strong hands-on SQL is essential — you should be comfortable independently writing queries to extract, manipulate and analyse data.
- Direct experience analysing European markets is particularly important, ideally involving country-level performance, market comparisons, customer behaviour, commercial performance or growth opportunities.
- Strong structured problem-solving skills and the ability to turn ambiguous questions into clear analytical hypotheses.
- Experience going beyond reporting to understand what is driving performance and what action should be taken.
- Confidence presenting your own analytical findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders.
- Excellent communication and data storytelling skills.
🌍 Particularly relevant backgrounds
We are especially interested in candidates with experience in:
- Market analysis, business analysis or commercial/strategic analytics across European markets
- Technology, digital platforms, marketplaces, telecommunications, media, e-commerce or international consumer businesses
- Management or strategy consultancy involving European market analysis
- Financial services or other highly analytical commercial environments
⭐ Nice to have
- Python or R
- Tableau, Looker, Power BI or similar
- BigQuery or other large-scale cloud data environments
- Experimentation / A/B testing
- Experience covering multiple European countries or wider EMEA markets
🧪 Interview process
There will be a technical assessment as part of the interview process, so candidates should be comfortable discussing and demonstrating both their SQL capability and analytical approach.
