Data Analyst

We are recruiting on behalf of a well-known retail and e-commerce group with its head office in central Manchester. Our client is looking for a capable and commercially minded Data Analyst to join its growing analytics team.

This is a varied role for someone who enjoys working close to the commercial heart of a business. You will analyse trading performance, customer behaviour and supply chain data, helping teams across the company make faster, better-informed decisions. The group has grown rapidly over the past three years, and the analytics team is at the centre of how it plans what comes next.

This is an excellent opportunity for an analyst who wants to see the direct impact of their work on a household-name business, in a city with one of the strongest digital and data communities in the UK.

Please note: This role is exclusively recruited for via Consula. Applications made outside of Consula will not be considered and cannot progress. To apply, you must submit your application through the Consula platform.

Location: Manchester

Key Responsibilities

• Produce weekly and monthly trading reports for senior leadership and department heads.

• Analyse customer purchase patterns, segmentation and lifetime value to inform marketing and ranging decisions.

• Build and maintain self-serve dashboards so teams can access the numbers they need.

• Write SQL to extract data from the group data platform and combine it with other sources.

• Support promotional planning and post-campaign analysis with clear, actionable insight.

• Work with the supply chain team to identify efficiencies and forecast demand.

• Champion data quality, documenting definitions and resolving inconsistencies.

• Present findings and recommendations to stakeholders at all levels.

A Typical Day

You might begin by reviewing the weekend trading figures and flagging anything unusual to the trading team, before spending the morning building a dashboard for an upcoming range review. After lunch you could be deep in a customer segmentation piece, then finish the day talking a category manager through what the data says about an underperforming line. The pace is quick, the questions are varied, and your work is used immediately.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience in a data analyst, insight analyst or similar role, ideally in retail, e-commerce or a consumer business.

• Strong SQL and Excel skills.

• Experience with a BI tool such as Power BI or Tableau.

• A commercial mindset — you care about what the numbers mean for the business, not just the numbers themselves.

• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to work to tight trading deadlines.

• Clear, confident communication with non-technical colleagues.

• Manchester-based or able to commute to the head office regularly.

What You Can Expect

• Hybrid working with genuine flexibility.

• 28 days' annual leave including bank holidays.

• Staff discount across the group and a generous benefits package.

• A clear development path within a growing analytics function.

• Training budget and support for professional development.

• A friendly, fast-paced team culture in a modern city-centre office.

This organisation is recruiting directly through Consula, their recruitment partner.
