SF Technology are supporting a growing business in the search for a Data Analyst to work closely with their finance operations team during a significant period of systems and process transformation.


This role would suit someone who enjoys solving problems, analysing trends and identifying root causes rather than simply producing reports.


You'll work closely with the finance team to investigate process issues, improve workflows and support ongoing automation and systems improvement projects across the business.


The Role
As a Data Analyst, you'll be responsible for analysing operational and financial data to identify inefficiencies, trends and areas for improvement.

You'll ideally have:
Strong Power BI and Excel skills
Excellent analytical and problem-solving ability
Experience working with large volumes of data
Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
A proactive and inquisitive mindset
Confidence working cross-functionally with finance and operational teams


Previous exposure to ERP systems, process improvement or finance operations would be beneficial but is not essential.

Highly visible role with genuine business impact
Exposure to large-scale systems and process improvement projects
