The Role

Business Intelligence Analysts at Redkite are responsible for producing high-quality and high-impact analytical work for clients. You will work as part of a small Redkite delivery team and often be semi-embedded within a client team as well.

You will bring a mix of technical and non-technical skills, such as:

Non-Technical

• Business insight: The ability to understand complex business processes and break down fuzzy requirements into actionable segments.
• Stakeholder influence: The ability to clearly communicate your work and provide confidence to drive change in a business.

Technical

• SQL/Python: The ability to design and implement well-designed scripts. These should follow industry best practice and be easily scalable and human readable.
• Looker : The ability to write LookML and train clients on the full capabilities of the tool.
• Data modelling : The ability to design well structured tables that are at the correct grain and structured for widespread use (i.e. using Kimball modelling).
• Software engineering mindset: The ability to automate tasks and work to deploy production-standard code (with unit testing, continuous integration, versioning etc.)

At heart, you’ll be a curious problem solver - you love to understand how something works and take equal enjoyment in finding and explaining how to impact this. You’ll also have a unique blend of scientific rigour to solve problems matched with an 80/20 mindset to prioritise which solution path to take.

The founders, Henry Crawford and Jon Tippell, firmly believe that continual training is vital to Redkite’s growth, so will ensure that you’re well supported and set up to succeed.

Requirements

• Ability to write LookML, including templated filters and parameters.
• Good knowledge of Looker admin, including roles, groups and user attributes.
• Experience with the Looker API, or any other customisation aspect.
• Expertise in SQL.
• At least 2 years of data and/or consulting experience.
• A results-oriented mindset with an eye for detail.
• Comfort with some travel to clients.
• Right to work in the UK.

Nice to have

• Mathematical training with applied experience in statistics.
• Looker certification.
• French or German-speaking.
• Experience with other modern tools like Azure/Snowflake.
• Experience working with an engineering mindset (i.e. Agile development, Git, Jira).

Benefits

• Exposure to a genuinely exciting range of clients, all of whom are trying to solve large problems.
• High impact in your role - many of our team can claim credit for saving millions for their clients.
• Training and exposure to best in class ways of working - we want to set the gold standard for how companies use data.
• Small, friendly and highly-talented team, with limited bureaucracy and hierarchy.
• Excellent remuneration.

A great company reflects the wonderful diversity of the world in which we live. We have no judgement on any of the things that make you you - be that your religion, sexuality, race, gender or even if you once believed that tabs were better than spaces.
