About the Role

As the industry transitions to Great British Railways (GBR), bringing track and train together under a single guiding mind and moving towards public ownership, we are looking for an experienced Financial Data Analyst to join Rail Delivery Group (RDG) and play a pivotal role in preparing our organisation for this transition. Working across people, processes, culture and organisational design, you'll help ensure RDG is ready for Day One of GBR and the phased transition leading up to this. If you thrive in complex environments, enjoy influencing senior stakeholders and want to be at the heart of one of the UK's most important transformation programmes, we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

Identify, connect and consolidate data from disparate business systems, including NetSuite, Cascade, Smartsheet and other operational sources.
Design and set up robust ETL and data pipelines to ensure clean, reliable and timely data flows into a central reporting layer with low ongoing maintenance.
Build a scalable data model, such as a star schema, to support fast, flexible reporting rather than one-off extracts.
Establish data governance practices, including naming conventions, refresh schedules, version control and documentation, so the reporting suite remains maintainable as it grows.
Troubleshoot data quality issues at source with Finance Business Partner teams and put checks in place to catch issues early.
Design, build and maintain Power BI dashboards across finance, people and projects.
Support insight across P&L, budget versus actuals, cash flow and cost centre performance for finance reporting.
Support headcount, attrition, hiring pipeline, pay and compa-ratio tracking for people reporting.
Support delivery status, resourcing, budget burn and milestone tracking for project reporting.
Translate business questions into clear, intuitive visualisations that non-technical stakeholders can self-serve from.
Own the end-to-end DAX and data modelling layer, balancing performance with flexibility.
Roll out dashboards with appropriate access controls, including row-level security where needed, and train users on how to use them.
Support the Head of Commercial Finance, Head of Settlement & Treasury and wider Finance team with one-off analytical deliverables, including scenario modelling, automation, variance analysis and business case support.
Respond flexibly to emerging data requests from across the business, prioritising requests against the core infrastructure roadmap.

Requirements

Strong hands-on experience building Power BI reports and data models, including Power Query, DAX and data modelling best practice.
Experience integrating and structuring data from multiple, disparate source systems.
Solid SQL skills for data extraction, transformation and querying.
Comfortable working with finance, HR and project data simultaneously, with the ability to understand the underlying business logic of each area.
Strong stakeholder management skills, including the ability to work with non-technical business users to scope requirements and explain outputs.
High attention to detail and a strong instinct for data quality and governance.
Experience with ETL or data pipeline tools, such as Power Automate, Azure Data Factory or Dataflows.
Experience working within or alongside a finance function, such as FP&A or management accounts.
Familiarity with Azure or cloud data platforms.
Prior experience setting up a reporting function from scratch, rather than maintaining an existing one.
