Associate Analyst

Based in the Sainsbury’s Office in London, we’re recruiting an ambitious Associate Analyst to work alongside stakeholders in Nectar360 & Sainsbury’s to drive our media and consultancy proposition to FMCG and GM clients. Nectar360 is the company behind Nectar, the UK’s largest loyalty programme, with over 27m members across the country.

Do you take satisfaction in seeing your recommendations implemented in the ‘real world’? Are you analytically creative and motivated by new challenges? Do you have a passion for working with data to drive insight and improve customer understanding?

When you join us you will be providing world-class customer insights for our clients. Utilising the Nectar data to understand how we can personalise the customer experience and drive business impact, this role is a fantastic opportunity to apply and develop your analytical capabilities.

The role is based in our London office on average 1 day a week, with home working expected the remainder of the time. Occasional travel to our FMCG clients is required.

• You should be able to look beyond the data to find relevant and actionable insights that are useful and interesting to stakeholders. You’ll be responsible for making your insight actionable; explaining complex analytics to non-technical audiences and making clear recommendations on how stakeholders should be using the insight you’re providing.
• You’ll be expected to confidently & independently create well formatted PowerPoint documents and Tableau dashboards that explain the analysis that you have generated, presenting findings to internal & external stakeholders in an engaging and enthusiastic manner.
