Job Details

Why this job is important

We’re known for our data. Help us turn it into insight that makes a real difference.

At Kantar, you’ll join a team that sits at the heart of how data becomes decisions. As a Data Analyst in our Panels Performance & Business Intelligence team, you’ll strengthen the analytical foundations that underpin our panel solutions. Working closely with colleagues across data science, engineering, technology and our Global Delivery Centres, you’ll help ensure our models are robust, scalable and genuinely useful for clients and internal teams alike.

This role is ideal if you enjoy combining analytical thinking with practical delivery – taking models from idea to production, spotting opportunities for improvement, and explaining complex findings in a way that others can act on.

What you’ll be doing

• Maintaining and improving analytical models used in day-to-day panel operations
• Analysing model outputs to identify performance issues and opportunities to enhance results
• Working with global delivery and technology teams to support production-ready data models and BI solutions
• Running statistical and exploratory analyses to uncover actionable insights
• Communicating analytical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical colleagues

The ideal skills & experience

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a natural curiosity for data
• Experience using SQL and at least one analytical language such as Python or R
• A solid understanding of statistics and machine learning fundamentals
• Experience working with data transformation or ETL tools (DBT is a plus)
• Confidence explaining technical concepts to non-technical audiences
• A collaborative mindset and comfort working with distributed, cross-functional teams

What’s in it for you

• Flexible hybrid working (two to three days in the office)
• 25 days leave, 2 days paid for volunteering and life event leave
• Competitive salary and bonus (bonus dependent on role)
• Company pension
• Enhanced parental leave
• Healthcare options
• Wide range of flexible benefits

Please note

We are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this position, either at the point of hire or at any point in the future. Applicants should only apply if they have the permanent right to live and work in the UK and will not require employer sponsorship during their employment.
