Most people early in their careers are told to wait their turn. Our client disagrees.
The opportunity
This is a specialist boutique pioneering the field of Data Economics — quantifying what data is actually worth and helping organisations treat it as the strategic asset it is. Their clients are some of the UK's largest infrastructure, utilities, and transport organisations. The work shapes real decisions at board level.
They're looking for a Solution Analyst to join their delivery team. This is an earlier-career role, but it's not a junior role in the way most firms use that word. You'll be on live client engagements from day one, supported by experienced practitioners, and expected to take real ownership of the work you're given.
What the work actually looks like
You'll be part of a squad working on live engagements, handling the analytical engine of every project. That means preparing, cleaning, and structuring data; conducting research; building models and initial outputs; and contributing to client-ready documents and presentations.
Day to day, you can expect to:
* Prepare, clean, and structure data to support analysis and modelling work
* Conduct research and produce initial outputs, models, and materials
* Use the firm's internal tools and accelerators to support delivery
* Contribute to client-ready documents and presentations
* Support more senior team members on day-to-day delivery tasks
* Begin to build client-facing skills through supervised interactions
What we're looking for
You'll be intellectually curious, organised, and someone who takes quality seriously. You check your own work. You ask good questions. You want to understand the problem, not just complete the task.
* Strong data handling and analytical skills — comfortable working with data in complex contexts
* Ability to produce clear, professional written documents and presentations
* Organised and structured approach to tasks, with the ability to work to a brief and meet deadlines
* A degree in a relevant discipline — quantitative, business, or analytical — or equivalent experience. We assess this contextually.
* Some exposure to data, analytics, financial modelling, or business change through study, placements, or early roles
Why now, why this firm
The field is genuinely emerging. Data Economics is being defined right now. Joining early means growing with a discipline that is still taking shape — and being part of what it becomes.
The development is structured and real. You'll be supported by experienced practitioners and given a clear path to grow across all four of the firm's domains: Data Economics & Valuation, Data Asset Management, Business Change, and Actionable Intelligence.
The culture is built on trust. A small, high-calibre team where your work is visible and your contribution counts from the start.
The package is thoughtfully designed. Competitive salary, private health cover with enhanced mental health support, generous family policies, and access to professional financial advice.
Flexibility with purpose. Around 60% in-person collaboration in London; genuine autonomy to shape the rest of your week around where you do your best work.
This role is being recruited on a confidential basis. The client's name will be shared with suitable candidates at first conversation stage.
