As a successful omnichannel retailer spanning over 70 shops, 400 wholesale stockists and online, we’re always challenging ourselves to think creatively and innovate. We pride ourselves as always putting the customer at the forefront of our decision making.

We have an exciting opportunity within a new role, as a Data and Analytics Delivery Lead. Responsible for engagement and collaboration with Seasalt stakeholders across multiple departments to provide end-to-end data solutions, insights, analysis, and analytics. You will nurture a small team to become experts in specific business and data domains, working across both business-as-usual and new projects.

Your team will be at the heart of our D&A Centre of Excellence, helping us to empower Seasalt with easy to access, reliable, trusted data sets and the skills to create consistent in-department reporting. Your role is hands-on, you will share your enthusiasm for data and your expertise with your team, with analysts across the business and end users. You will champion data-led decision making, creating insights that help to make Seasalt better.

Please note as part of our Seasalt Connected approach to ways of working, this role can be based flexibly across our Cornwall head office locations and remotely, subject to the individual’s choice and agreement with the line manager. Further details can be discussed at interview.

You’ll help us by:

• Directly line managing, leading, and developing a small team of analysts and data engineers in building, testing and delivering data sets, advanced analytics, analysis, insights, reporting and visualisations
• Acting as a subject matter expert & partner for a designated set of Seasalt areas
• Collaborating with stakeholders to define complex data, reporting, alerting and dashboard requirements, understanding and capturing key business drivers
• Building strong stakeholder partnerships, managing expectations, communicating clearly and listening to their needs
• Working closely with analysts to enable self-service reporting, empowering the business to create their own reports and visualisations
• Assisting departments in streamlining and automating their data-led processes. Provide training and support to encourage adoption
• Adopting appropriate project management and agile techniques, whilst working with the PMO to ensure programmes and project plans are prioritised
• Managing the backlog, sprints, velocity, estimates and development activities within your own delivery area, escalating to our Delivery Manager where additional resource or prioritisation is required
• Identifying, collecting and migrating data to and from a range of systems whilst applying good practice data governance and data management approaches
• Producing data models to enable self-service queries, reports and dashboards
• Visualising data and analysis conclusions in the most appropriate format for users in an easy-to-understand way highlighting insight to be gained

The skills you’ll be sharing with the team:

With a strong working knowledge of data analysis, management, modelling, visualisation, and BI tools, you will be a confident practitioner in data requirements definition. You will strive to put the customer experience first in all data and analytical solutions.

You will have awareness of agile techniques and be a strong communicator. Experience of leading a small team would also be beneficial but not essential. This could be a prime opportunity for a forward-looking analyst looking to lead and mentor a team.

You will have knowledge of SQL, creating Tabular Models and using DAX. Working in a cloud-based environment would be beneficial but not essential. Solid problem-solving skills are a given, as is knowledge of data automation and experience of quality assurance and data validation.

A recognised qualification in an area with a clear analytical bias would be beneficial (such as Statistics, Mathematics, Finance, Accounting, Business or Engineering), or equivalent experience, ideally in a retail environment.
