We are hiring for a BI Analyst/Lead role based in London. This is a hybrid position, with two days a week near London Bridge, although some weeks may only require one day in the office. The role is titled as a Lead because you will own your workstream and put your own stamp on the work, but you will not be leading a team. The salary is 64K base plus a 5% bonus, with half of the bonus guaranteed and the other half usually achieved. We offer a fantastic environment and great people, and you will work on interesting initiatives in a cloud-agnostic setting, with Azure experience being a plus.
