Visualisation & Tools Analyst

Purpose and Scope:

OC&C launched the Visualisation & Tools Team four years ago to strengthen our ability to support both client and internal projects. The team is steadily expanding to ensure that OC&C remains well positioned to meet client needs in a world of increasing data size, maturing data stacks and emerging AI-enabled technologies.

The Visualisation & Tools Team has 4 pillars of work:

• Internal: Reporting and tools explicitly made for internal use with no commercial purpose. This section is dominated by business intelligence reporting but also includes other elements, such as internal surveys.
• External: This work is on-project client work that involves building end-to-end tools (that may source or transform data) and ready-to-use reporting.
• Tools: These are larger projects that have a long-term commercial purpose that will eventually feed into multiple client projects. The output may take the form of tools that do repeatable tasks or even as proprietary data set intended for client work long-term. An example of such includes building a user-friendly tool that queries a third-party API to understand client competitor market share.
• Training: All members of our team are expected to teach and learn from those around them. This includes both formal training of consulting and business services staff but also in the day-to-day role as a current or aspiring subject matter expert.

All four of these pillars are growing and so a larger team is crucial to meeting the needs of the business and our clients. You will be in a position of being able to work with almost everyone in the entire business and will be seen as a driver of critical work and positive change.
