Shape the world's understanding of energy.

We're looking for a commercially minded Senior Data Analyst / Data Lead to take ownership of one of the most respected and widely referenced energy datasets globally.

This is a rare opportunity to join an organisation at the heart of the energy transition and play a leading role in producing data that informs governments, policymakers, world-leading organisations, investors and industry experts across the globe.

If you enjoy working with complex datasets, uncovering insights, improving data quality and influencing how information is interpreted and presented, this is an opportunity to work on a genuinely high-profile project with global reach.

The Opportunity

You'll become the driving force behind a major international statistical programme, managing the collection, validation, analysis and publication of energy data from around the world.

Working closely with senior stakeholders, researchers, industry specialists and external partners, you'll ensure the accuracy, consistency and integrity of a complex global dataset while helping to continuously improve methodologies, systems and processes.

This is far more than a reporting role.

You'll have the opportunity to influence data strategy, improve analytical capabilities, develop new tools and dashboards, and help shape how critical energy insights are communicated to stakeholders worldwide.

What You'll Be Doing

• Taking ownership of a globally recognised energy dataset and its annual publication cycle
• Leading data validation, quality assurance and reconciliation activities across large and complex datasets
• Managing relationships with external analytical and research partners
• Maintaining and improving SQL databases and automated data processes
• Developing robust data quality frameworks and validation methodologies
• Investigating anomalies and ensuring consistency across historical and current datasets
• Producing high-quality analysis, reports, briefings and visualisations
• Working alongside technical and non-technical stakeholders to improve data products and outputs
• Supporting database transformation and process improvement initiatives
• Building dashboards, analytical tools and reporting solutions that make complex information accessible and actionable
• Acting as a trusted expert for data methodology, definitions and interpretation

About You

We're interested in speaking with candidates who combine strong technical capability with curiosity, attention to detail and the confidence to engage with a broad range of stakeholders.

You'll ideally bring:

• 3-7 years' experience within data analysis, business intelligence, research analytics or data management
• Advanced Excel skills including Power Query, complex modelling and data manipulation
• Strong SQL skills and experience working with relational databases
• Experience managing and validating large datasets from multiple sources
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
• Experience producing dashboards, reports and visualisations
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• The ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously

Particularly Desirable Experience

We'd be especially interested in candidates with experience in:

• Energy, commodities, utilities or sustainability sectors
• Statistical reporting and research
• Economic or market intelligence analysis
• Power BI, VBA, R or other analytical tools
• Working with international datasets or research programmes

Why Apply?

• Work on a dataset recognised and used around the world
• Join a mission-driven organisation contributing to the global energy transition
• High levels of ownership and visibility
• Exposure to senior stakeholders and internationally recognised industry experts
• Genuine opportunity to influence methodology, systems and future data strategy
• Collaborative and supportive team environment
• Hybrid working and excellent benefits package

If you're looking for a role where data genuinely influences global conversations and decisions, we'd love to hear from you.
