The Senior Data Analyst will join Rocket Science Group for a six-month fixed-term contract, working across diverse client engagements in the interactive entertainment industry. This role involves leading analytical strategy, conducting deep data analysis, and presenting actionable insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, with a strong emphasis on adaptability and stakeholder collaboration.
What You'll Do
- Own end-to-end analysis projects, from framing the question to presenting findings to senior stakeholders, including those with no technical background
- Act as a trusted analytical partner to client teams, building strong relationships and translating complex data into clear, compelling narratives
- Write clean, efficient SQL and Python to wrangle large, complex datasets, and be ready to go deep technically when a project demands it
- Build clear, impactful dashboards and visualisations in technologies like Tableau and Power BI that empower teams to self-serve insights
- Flex your approach depending on project needs, some engagements will call for strategic advisory work, others for hands-on technical delivery
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in a data analyst or similar role, ideally in gaming, consumer tech, or a consultancy environment
- A track record of building impactful dashboards in technologies like Tableau and Power BI
- Confident working with technologies like SQL and Python across varied project environments
- Experience working with cloud data platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Exceptional stakeholder management skills — you're as comfortable presenting to a non-technical executive as you are collaborating with an engineering team
- The adaptability to shift between strategic and hands-on technical work depending on what a project needs
- Strong communication skills — you can make complex analysis feel simple and relevant to any audience
