Business Data Analyst

Business Data Analyst – Hawksmoor Group

We have an exciting, and brand-new opportunity for a Business Data Analyst to join our team and make a real difference. Profit to business is like oxygen to people - it's not the main point for us, but it is what makes everything else we do possible. Quality, surrounding ourselves with great people, enjoying our work, making sure customers are happy are the most important things to us and, as a business, we believe that if we get those right then everything else, including money, should follow. So, this isn’t a classic FP&A role, as we look across a variety of data and indicators when we make decisions to ensure we’re balancing several focuses and doing the right thing in the round. This role will encompass analysis and reporting on data sets that include amongst others, financial, operational, brand and people and will be integral in supporting important business decisions across all departments as we continue to grow.
