Data Insight Lead (Principal Analyst)

We are recruiting for an experienced analyst to lead the insight function across the MiExact brands. 

MiExact is a leading life-events data intelligence business, helping organisations respond with care, accuracy and integrity at life’s most significant moments.

We’re looking for a Data Insight Lead / Principal Analyst to play a pivotal senior role across MiExact - setting the standard for how data is turned into rigorous, actionable insight that informs decisions, shapes products and builds trust with clients.

This role sits at the heart of our newly formed Product & Data function, working across our Identity and Charity divisions, including Legacy Futures, Smee & Ford and CharityTracker.

 

The role

Job Title: Data Insight Lead (Principal Analyst)

Hours: Full time

Location: Remote with regular travel to London. You must be UK based for this position

Salary: £80-85k depending on experience

Start Date: ASAP, to be discussed at interview

Deadline: Apply by 12pm Monday 2 February

 

Why this role matters

This is a rare opportunity to:

  • Be the senior authority on quantitative insight across a complex, data-rich business
  • Lead and shape flagship insight and forecasting products used by some of the UK’s best-known charities
  • Influence strategy, product development and commercial decisions through judgement-led analysis
  • Act as a credible external voice for MiExact with senior clients and the wider sector

It’s a role for someone who cares deeply about analytical integrity, is comfortable with complexity, and enjoys seeing insight used in the real world.

 

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who brings:

  • Experience in quantitative analysis, forecasting and segmentation
  • Experience with SQL, Databricks, and all the plumbing that makes a modern data stack actually work, as well as strong legacy tech experience (SPSS, SAS, Tableau etc)
  • Strong analytical judgement not just technical execution
  • Strong communicator, confident presenting complex insight to senior, non-technical audiences
  • The credibility to challenge assumptions and raise standards
  • A collaborative leadership style, able to coach and develop others
  • Commercial awareness and a client-focused mindset

Sector experience (charity, financial services or regulated environments) is helpful, but not essential. How you think matters more than where you’ve worked.
