Location: Leeds, Hybrid (2 days p/w in office)
The type of person:
We’re looking for a hands‑on manager who combines technical expertise with the ability to lead, develop, and inspire a team on a day‑to‑day basis. You’ll need to be confident managing both internal team members and external stakeholders - and just as comfortable rolling up your sleeves to get into the data yourself.
You will have:
* 5+ years’ experience in data analytics with a proven track record of delivering impactful insights.
* Proven line management experience (in any form) - managing, coaching, or developing a team of 2–3 people (minimum).
* Experience leading and mentoring analysts, data scientists, or BI developers.
* Strong technical skills in SQL and Python.
* Demonstrated ability to turn complex datasets into actionable, strategic recommendations.
* A track record of working in client-facing roles, ideally in a consultancy or project-based environment.
* The ability to thrive in a fast‑paced setting, managing multiple priorities at once.
The role:
As Data Analytics Manager, you’ll be both a leader and a doer:
* Lead, manage, and develop a team of 2–3 data analysts, ensuring their growth, performance, and engagement.
* Act as the primary point of contact for key client stakeholders, building strong, trusted relationships.
* Partner with clients to understand their business challenges, objectives, and analytical requirements.
* Get hands‑on when needed - from deep data dives to code reviews.
* Oversee the quality, timeliness, and impact of the team’s deliverables.
* Translate insights into actionable strategies that drive business performance.
* Champion knowledge‑sharing, best practices, and continuous learning within your team.
* Collaborate closely with other teams to deliver end‑to‑end solutions.
Desired skills & experience:
* Strong coding skills in Python and SQL, with solid MS Excel capabilities.
* Excellent stakeholder management skills - able to adapt communication for technical and non‑technical audiences.
* Meticulous attention to detail, with a proactive approach to validating work and setting high standards.
* Ability to break down complex client needs into clear, actionable recommendations.
* Prior experience of working with customer data
