This is the Job

CarCare is a major growth priority for The AA, and we’re looking for a Senior Operations Performance Analyst to help us understand what is driving operational performance and where we can make it better.

Reporting to the CarCare Operations Director, you’ll combine data analysis, business modelling and strategic thinking to turn complex information into clear, practical recommendations. You’ll get into the detail to understand performance trends and root causes, then step back to identify the bigger picture and help shape priorities.

Working across Operations, Product, Finance, Technology and other teams, you’ll be a trusted analytical partner who can bring structure to ambiguous problems, challenge assumptions constructively and help turn insight into action. This is an opportunity to influence how CarCare develops its operational capabilities as the business continues to grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse operational performance to identify trends, root causes, risks and opportunities, translating findings into clear recommendations
• Build and maintain practical models covering demand, capacity, workforce requirements, productivity, cost to serve and different operational scenarios
• Turn performance data into meaningful insight, identifying the story behind the numbers and recommending actions that improve operational and customer outcomes
• Develop clear performance narratives and analysis for senior stakeholders across measures including demand, conversion, utilisation, capacity, productivity and service performance
• Work collaboratively across Operations, Product, Finance, Technology and other teams to gather information, test assumptions and translate analysis into action
• Support strategic decision making by structuring complex problems, quantifying potential impact and providing constructive, evidence-based challenge

What Do I Need?

You’ll Bring

• Strong analytical capability, with experience handling, interpreting and visualising data to generate meaningful business insight
• Proficiency with analytical tools such as Excel, SQL, Python or R, alongside experience using visualisation tools such as Power BI, Tableau or Looker
• Experience building analytical, operational or scenario models to support decisions across areas such as demand, capacity, productivity, workforce planning or cost to serve
• Strong strategic and critical thinking skills, with the ability to structure ambiguous problems, investigate root causes and turn complex analysis into clear recommendations
• Experience applying analytics to improve performance within a fast paced operational, consulting or continuous improvement environment
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex analysis into clear insight, influence senior stakeholders and provide constructive challenge
