About the Role
Reporting to the Data Analytics Manager, this Senior Data Analyst role is a hands-on individual contributor focused on shifting the team's emphasis from platform delivery to value-added analytics and commercial insight. The role aims to build lasting data partnerships with underwriting, claims, and exposure management teams, embedding analytics into daily decision-making. The role holder will also apply and model technical standards, contribute to complex analyses, and introduce new techniques, including practical AI applications.
Responsibilities
- Act as the senior analytics business partner to one or more underwriting classes, proactively identifying where analytics can improve pricing, portfolio steering, renewal decisions and exposure management.
- Translate open-ended commercial questions into well-scoped analyses and dashboard requirements.
- Collaborate with the wider business to identify areas of automation and acceleration to improve operational efficiency.
- Identify practical opportunities to enhance the analytics workflow with AI tooling, such as using LLMs and agentic tools for data exploration, code generation, documentation, and surfacing insight to underwriters.
- Support the Data Analytics Manager in shaping external data analytical propositions, from discovery and prototyping through to packaging and delivery.
- Apply and help embed the team’s development lifecycle for BI and analytics assets, including naming conventions, documentation, peer review and sign-off before production release.
- Follow and help maintain robust source-control practices for Power BI content, using PBIP / TMDL format, Git-backed repositories, feature branches, pull requests and meaningful commit history.
- Contribute to Power BI workspace governance, including clear Dev / Test / Prod separation, deployment pipelines, dataset certification / endorsement, refresh monitoring and access management.
- Coach analysts and BI developers on SQL, DAX, data modelling, visual design and engineering hygiene; participate in code / report reviews and knowledge-sharing sessions.
- Work closely with Data Engineering on changes to the semantic / curated layer and data marts, ensuring analytics and business needs are reflected in platform design.
- Deliver complex analytics workstreams end-to-end, including scoping, estimation, delivery, hand-over and post-implementation review.
- Work within an Agile framework: break down requirements into epics and user stories, contribute to backlog prioritisation with the Data Analytics Manager, and provide realistic estimates.
Requirements
- Well-developed and demonstrable experience in a data analytics or BI role, preferably in an insurance or finance environment.
- Advanced SQL, including query optimisation and working with the Azure data stack (Data Factory, Synapse / Fabric, SQL-based semantic layers).
- Advanced Power BI: data modelling (star schemas), advanced DAX, Power Query / M, performance tuning, RLS, and deployment via pipelines.
- Understanding of Power BI engineering discipline: PBIP / TMDL source format, Git-based version control, pull-request review, structured release and rollback process; demonstrable experience of these practices in a team.
- Proven ability to carry out peer review and QA of analytics work – spotting model errors, DAX issues, performance problems and UX weaknesses, and giving constructive feedback.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including presenting to underwriting and internal stakeholders.
- Strong stakeholder engagement, with a track record of turning ambiguous business problems into delivered analytical outcomes.
- Well-developed experience in a Lloyd’s syndicate, managing agent, London Market broker or specialty (re)insurer.
- Python for data analysis (pandas / notebooks) and an appreciation of wider data science techniques, enough to collaborate credibly with Data Scientists and Actuarial.
- Hands-on experience applying AI / LLM tooling to analytics work (e.g. Co-pilot for Power BI / Fabric, MCP-style integrations, agentic assistants, code-generation tools) with a pragmatic view on where they add value.
- Experience with Microsoft Fabric, dbt, Azure DevOps / GitHub Actions, and data-quality tooling.
