Principal Data Analyst

About The Role

Be part of a small, highly capable Data and Analytics team that supports the wider organisation with advanced analysis, insight generation, and technical uplift. This isn’t a BI or reporting role – it’s deep, complex analytics and modelling, with plenty of room to influence how things are done. You will be leading significant analytical pieces of work, planning and delivering projects, and helping shape methods, standards, and repeatable processes across the team. There’s also a strong emphasis on producing high‑quality insights and publication‑ready outputs that inform decision‑making across the public sector.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead major analytical projects from design through to delivery
• Carry out advanced analytics, modelling, and data wrangling hands‑on
• Produce clear, robust insights and publication‑quality outputs
• Strengthen analytical practice, frameworks, and QA processes
• Mentor team members and share technical expertise
• Work closely with stakeholders and translate complex analysis into practical findings
• Help uplift analytics capability across the organisation
