• A business-first analyst, not a back-room modeller. You are as comfortable in a commercial or credit review as you are in a notebook, and you would rather answer a real operational question well than build an elegant model nobody uses. • 5+ years answering complex analytical questions in an operational business, or a convincing demonstration of that depth by another route. What matters is a track record of analysis that changed a decision. • Strong SQL and the ability to build your own data models against a cloud data warehouse — you can find and stitch together the data you need yourself (Redshift and dbt experience a plus). • Strong Python and Jupyter skills for analysis, automation and modelling, with the discipline to write code others can follow. • Working knowledge of applied statistics, with exposure to machine learning techniques such as regression, classification, forecasting and clustering, applied pragmatically. You do not need to be a specialist — judgement about when a simple, well-built analysis beats a model matters more, and we will support you to grow here. • Able to scope an ambiguous question into a plan: what would answer this, what data exists, what is good enough, and when to stop. • Comfortable with imperfect operational data — you investigate outliers and data quality problems rather than quietly modelling around them. • Excellent communication and documentation skills, including explaining method, assumptions and uncertainty to a non-technical audience. Familiarity with Tableau or similar is expected. • Exposure to consumer credit, PAYGo, lending, distribution or supply chain is a strong plus, as is any experience where analysis had to survive contact with an operational team. • A passion for the work d.light does and the customers we serve is a must, and you are excited by a more open, startup environment where there may not be structure (yet) and you will be expected to build it! • Competitive Remuneration Package • Medical Cover
