Job Introduction
Dechra is on a journey of significant change, and we're looking for a talented Data Analyst to join our Transformation Office (TO). This is your chance to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of a growing, global organisation.
Why this role matters
As a Data Analyst in our Transformation Office, you'll work alongside the TO Director and senior stakeholders to provide analysis that drives decision-making at the highest level. Your insights will help identify risks, highlight opportunities, and ensure that Dechra's ambitious DART plan delivers real impact.
You won't just crunch numbers – you'll tell the story behind the data, create compelling visuals, and give leaders the information they need to take action. You'll also play a hands-on role in embedding our WAVE platform, the tool that bridges analytics and execution, ensuring data integrity and coaching colleagues on its use.
This is more than an analyst role: it's a chance to directly influence how transformation unfolds across the business.
What you'll be doing
* Deliver regular and ad-hoc data analysis that informs discussions and drives action.
* Perform data modelling and translate complex datasets into clear, engaging insights and visuals for a wide range of stakeholders.
* Partner with business leaders to develop dashboards and reports in WAVE (our transformation system), and coach them to use it effectively.
* Monitor data quality, drive adoption of the platform, and act as guardian of accurate, high-quality information.
* Support DART personal goal achievement analysis, ensuring alignment with business priorities.
* Coordinate meetings, track actions, and keep initiatives moving forward with accountability.
What we're looking for
* Strong Excel skills (advanced formulas, pivot tables, visualisation techniques).
* Confidence in interpreting financial data and understanding how initiatives affect company P&L.
* Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to simplify complexity.
* Strong attention to detail and a proactive mindset.
* Experience building impactful PowerPoint presentations to communicate insights.
* The ability to engage and coach stakeholders at all levels.
* Strong organisational skills – balancing multiple projects and priorities with ease.
Experience with Tableau, Power BI, or other data visualisation tools is a bonus, as is exposure to financial modelling or forecasting techniques.
Why join Dechra?
* Be at the centre of a high-profile business transformation, with direct visibility to senior leaders.
* Work in a collaborative, supportive environment where your insights drive real outcomes.
* Gain experience with WAVE, a cutting-edge transformation platform used by leading global organisations.
* Develop both your technical and business skills in a role that offers genuine career progression.
At Dechra, you'll make a tangible impact from day one. If you're excited about using data to power transformation, we'd love to hear from you.
What we can offer you:
* 33 days annual (inclusive of Bank Holidays)
* Holiday purchase scheme
* Healthcare
* Employee Assistance Program
* Life Assurance
* 8% Employer Pension Contribution
* Enhanced Family Leave
* Discounted Pet Food
