Senior Data Analyst (Panel)

YouGov is an international research data and analytics group.

We help the world’s most recognised brands, media owners and agencies to plan, activate and track better marketing activities. As pioneers of online market research, we have been building an ever-growing source of consumer data for the past twenty years. Creating the richest and most complete understanding of your customers’ complex lives. We call it living data.

We are driven by a set of shared values. We are fast, fearless and innovative. We work diligently to get it right. We are guided by accuracy, ethics and proven methodologies. We respect and trust each other, and bring these values into everything that we do. Unlike our competitors, we understand how opinions and trends change from day-to-day, week-to-week and year-to-year. That’s why we have built a platform that gets you right to the source for reliable, accurate data that reflects the reality of a complicated world. Imagine if you could know what 17 million+ people in over 55 markets were thinking now? Or last week? And do so again and again? That’s why we’re different.

Rather than commissioned research that’s already out-of-date by the time it reaches someone’s inbox, our data is alive. So, no matter how quickly things change, our clients are always in the know.

YouGov. Living Consumer Intelligence.

The Culture

Diversity and inclusion are fundamental to YouGov. We are committed to giving the world a voice by capturing the opinions of all groups, including the ones that are often under-represented in research. We are also committed to making sure that our products and tools are free from any bias, as accuracy is key to what we do. None of the above can be done without having a truly diverse workforce, in an inclusive workplace. We are very keen on attracting and retaining the best talent. And best talent also means a diverse pool of talent, with various backgrounds and perspectives.

Supporting the wellbeing of our staff, including maintaining a good work and life balance, is important to us. We support flexible working arrangements where appropriate for a role, with many locations offering a hybrid office-and-remote working approach.

As an Equal Opportunity Employer, qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender perception or identity, national origin, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law. All employment decisions are made on the basis of occupational qualifications, merit, and business need.

YouGov’s data helps thousands of commercial, cultural, and political organisations understand their customers, run brilliant campaigns, and make better strategic decisions. We have 20+ years of the most exciting, connected data on the planet – every day we’re learning more about what the world thinks. We capture opinions and attitudes about everything from the Superbowl to Star Wars, from shampoo to social media.

We’re looking for a Senior Data Analyst to help us understand more about the people who trust us with their data – our 17 million strong global panel. If you’re a curious, commercially-minded, and creative problem-solver, who’s part data storyteller and part data wrangler, we want to speak to you.

Key Responsibilities

• Analysis – You’re passionate about data, and the value it can unlock. You’ll be comfortable interrogating large, cross-product data sets to uncover insights. You’ll build ETL pipelines, dashboards, reports, and run ad-hoc queries to answer burning questions.


• Technical – You’ve got the technical chops to understand how systems fit together, and the challenges this can cause. You’ll be a resourceful and creative problem-solver, willing to persevere to get a solution.


• Process – You’re committed to quality, but also to shipping early and often. You know that the best report is one that’s used, and you embrace an agile approach to delivery. You’ll be keen to deliver value quickly.


• Culture - You’ll contribute to the wider data team, peer reviewing scripts, ETL pipelines and helping to embed a data-driven culture across YouGov.

• 
  Data-powered.
  You'll have excellent data interrogation and analysis skills, using qualitative or quantitative data, to guide planning and prioritisation. SQL fluency is a must, and experience with Snowflake is a real bonus. If you’ve worked with Google Analytics data, this helps too.


• 
  Experienced.
  5+ years experience on an Agile/lean team, with a mixture of internal BI/MI and product or data engineering preferred. You’ve built reports and dashboards before, and know when each is appropriate. We use Power BI, so skills here will help.


• 
  Problem solver.
  You'll enjoy zooming in to the detail, and out to the big picture, sometimes within the same 10 minutes. You’re a great multi-tasker, self-motivated and comfortable with ambiguity. You love a list, and you’re self-motivated enough to work through it.


• 
  Collaborative.
  You’re able to build and maintain relationships with senior stakeholders across a large business. You’re committed to delivery, and you care about results.
