London - Hybrid

Cedar are partnering with an organisation undergoing a significant business and technology transformation, with data and analytics playing a central role in improving operational performance and driving better decision-making. As part of this investment, an opportunity has arisen for an Insights Analyst to join a growing analytics function and help shape how data is used across the business.

This is not a traditional reporting role. We are looking for someone who enjoys investigating problems, challenging assumptions and turning complex data into meaningful insights that influence business decisions.

The Opportunity

You will work closely with stakeholders across the organisation, supporting transformation initiatives by identifying opportunities for improvement, understanding operational challenges and providing the insight needed to drive change.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Analysing operational, commercial and business performance data to identify trends, inefficiencies and improvement opportunities.
• Working with stakeholders to understand business challenges and translate them into structured analytical questions.
• Using SQL to extract, manipulate and interrogate data from multiple sources.
• Conducting root-cause analysis to understand performance issues and recommend practical solutions.
• Delivering actionable insights that support transformation, process improvement and strategic decision-making.
• Developing dashboards and visualisations using Power BI or similar tools where appropriate.
• Challenging existing assumptions and proactively identifying areas where data can improve business outcomes.
• Supporting improvements in data quality, consistency and analytical capability across the organisation.

About You

We are interested in speaking with analytical, inquisitive individuals who can demonstrate:

• Experience in an Insights Analyst, Data Analyst, Commercial Analyst, Operations Analyst or similar role.
• Strong SQL skills and confidence working independently with complex datasets.
• Experience with Power BI, Tableau, Looker or another BI platform.
• The ability to investigate ambiguous business problems and develop clear, evidence-based recommendations.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
• Experience using analysis to influence decisions, improve processes or deliver measurable business outcomes.
• A proactive mindset, intellectual curiosity and the confidence to challenge existing ways of working.
