The role supports the Pricing Team through collection, analysis, and interpretation of business-critical data used in commercial decisions across global markets.

The structured Level 4 Data Analyst Apprenticeship includes hands-on work and rotations across Pricing and Data functions.

The programme is delivered remotely by training partner QA; this describes training delivery and does not establish the job's workplace policy.

Progression to a higher-level apprenticeship or permanent position may be possible after successful completion.

  • Work with internal stakeholders to understand commercial and data requirements and business challenges.
  • Participate in meetings and workshops to gather feedback and refine analytical outputs.
  • Communicate findings clearly to non-technical audiences.
  • Manage key projects from conception to completion, meeting milestones, objectives, and cost expectations.
  • Rotate across Pricing and Data functions to learn how data supports strategy, pricing, operational performance, and growth.

Qualifications

  • Level 3 qualification such as an apprenticeship, A-levels, or BTEC; applicants with a STEM degree are also welcomed.
  • Equivalent relevant work experience, typically two years, is accepted as an alternative qualification route.
  • Five GCSEs, including English and Maths at Grade 4 (C) or above.
  • Power BI and Excel experience is preferred; some VBA, SQL, and/or Python knowledge is a plus.
  • Applicants should have a keen interest in data analysis and desire to learn, and be committed to learning while working.
  • Advanced MS Office skills, decision-making ability, influencing and teamwork skills, strong communication, time management, and organizational skills are sought.

Development and impact

  • The apprenticeship provides practical data analysis skills and learning from experienced colleagues.
  • The role offers rotations across teams and professional development in writing, communication, time management, and teamwork.
  • The work may contribute to revenue, delivery performance, efficiency, technical reputation, and customer satisfaction.
