The Role

We are looking for a Junior Data Analyst to help support our growing business and build out our data capabilities. You will be working with the Analytics team collaborating with teams across business services to build efficiencies which support day to day functions. You will support people across the company by building self-serve analytics content across our analytics tooling - we’re using dbt, Looker, Fivetran, BigQuery and Amplitude at GoCardless. You’ll support the dashboards and underpinning models that enable deep insight into a fast-growing business and develop an expert knowledge of all areas of our operation. You’ll help people in all areas of GoCardless make better, faster, more data-driven decisions. Analytics is part of our Data & Business Systems Group which at its heart exists to maximise day-to-day efficiency and productivity within GoCardless. We do this by bringing together teams that span data & technology to provide a 1 stop shop for our customers.

The main elements of this role will involve:

• Data collection: Identifying relevant sources, specifying data requirements, and retrieving the data.
• Data cleaning: Inspecting the data, handling missing values and outliers, transforming the data, standardising formats, and validating the cleaned data
• Data visualisation: Using visualisations to tell data stories to a variety of audiences.
• Data analysis: Interpreting results, finding insights, and spotting trends and fluctuations.
• Documentation: Documenting the information and content that will be consumed and processed.
• Assisting the team: Helping members of the team across various analytics projects, namely building dashboards, supporting pipelines, data cleansing, and providing insights, to name a few.

What excites you

• Kicking off a data-related career
• You’re a self-starter - you take initiative in spotting opportunities and finding ways to solve problems with data
• You’re used to sharing your technical work with others around you
• Working on data and pipeline improvements
• Working within the data team managing data support tickets
• Opportunities to learn more about data operations, engineering, and analysis

What excites us

• Interest in data, analytics, dashboard building
• Attention to detail & and an ability to solve complex problems

• An understanding of how important clean, accurate, and trusted data is for running a business
• A basic understanding of SQL and Data / BI tools
• Preferred: An understanding of working in an agile environment at pace

We don’t expect you to meet every requirement. If you’re excited by this role, we encourage you to apply.

Heads up: we assess technical skills during our process, starting with a few basic SQL syntax questions on the first call, so it’s worth brushing up in advance

Base salary range: 20,000 EUR - 30,000 EUR

Base salary ranges are based on role, job level, location, and market data.
