MI & Data Integration Analyst (Azure / Databricks)
📍 Hybrid – Central London | 💰 £43,000 pro rata | ⏳ up to 6-month FTC (potential to extend)
We’re looking for a technically strong and commercially aware MI & Data Integration Analyst to join a leading UK retail and technology business on an initial 3-month fixed-term contract.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys combining hands-on data analysis, reporting, and Azure integration work — helping build robust data foundations and self-serve reporting capability for an evolving business area.
🔍 The Opportunity
You’ll be supporting a small, forward-thinking team to improve how they use data — helping them access accurate and timely MI, streamline processes, and migrate to a new Azure-based data environment.
You’ll take ownership of reporting improvements, work closely with third-party partners on offshoring data processes, and support the move of key datasets into the Unity Catalog environment.
đź’Ľ Key Responsibilities
* Produce and enhance accurate, timely, and insightful MI reports to support business decision-making.
* Develop and maintain data tables and integrations within Azure Databricks and the Unity Catalog to enable self-serve data access.
* Define and deliver process maps for transferring data ingestion from internal teams to offshore partners.
* Provide hands-on SQL expertise to design, optimise, and validate queries.
* Support and guide third-party teams (Infosys) to ensure tasks meet agreed standards and timelines.
* Document and communicate MI processes to support troubleshooting and continuous improvement.
* Ensure all activity aligns with data governance and confidentiality standards.
🧠Skills & Experience
* Strong working knowledge of Azure and related integration tools.
* SQL proficiency, ideally with experience in Databricks.
* Proven experience in management information (MI) and reporting — ideally using Power BI and Excel.
* Comfortable building, testing, and optimising data pipelines or integrations.
* Excellent communication and stakeholder skills, able to explain data insight to non-technical users.
* Analytical mindset — able to approach problems logically and holistically, considering downstream impact.
* Experience with Python is desirable, but not essential.
🎯 What’s in it for you
* The chance to shape data processes within a well-known UK brand.
* Work with a modern Azure tech stack (Databricks, Power BI, Unity Catalog).
* Collaborative and supportive hybrid team culture (2-3 days a week in London office).
* 3-month FTC with a strong chance of extension, depending on project timelines and delivery
