If that's you and you're ready to do the most meaningful work of your career—we invite you to join over 2,800 passionate Remitlians worldwide who are united by our vision to transform lives with trusted financial services that transcend borders.
About the Role:
The Senior Data Analyst, Compliance is a high-performing individual contributor within the broader analytics team. You will be responsible for bridging the gap between business and technology by translating business requirements into well-defined and concrete data products. You will own the "Requirement-to-Reporting" lifecycle, ensuring business requirements are robust and detailed and data engineers build the right foundations, balancing data governance with business flexibility. The lifecycle you will own spans Discovery (understanding the "Why" behind the business request), Mapping (identifying the "Where" — data sources — and the "Gaps"), Specs (writing the "How" for the Data Engineers), Validation (testing the "Truth" of the data through UAT), and Delivery (visualizing the "So What" for stakeholders).
This is a 12 Month Fixed Term Contract (FTC) based in our London office (hybrid, 2-3 days onsite per week).

You Will:
Partner with business leaders to extract core objectives and translate them into detailed functional specifications and technical roadmaps
Lead the definition of North Star metrics and KPIs, ensuring alignment across different departments to prevent "data silos" or conflicting definitions
Own the creation of source-to-target mappings, logic flowcharts, and business requirement documents (BRDs)
Identify internal and external data sources required to fulfill business needs; perform exploratory data analysis to highlight data gaps or quality issues
Work hand-in-hand with Data Engineers to design scalable data pipelines, providing the necessary business logic and transformation rules
Lead the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) process, rigorously validating transformation logic and data integrity before production deployment
Design and build sophisticated reporting solutions (Tableau, PowerBI, or internal tools) that go beyond simple charts to tell a meaningful business story
Ensure data is delivered in a "business-consumable" form, prioritising UX/UI in dashboards to drive high adoption rates among non-technical users

You Have:
4–8+ years in a Senior Analyst or Analytics Consultant role, specifically focused on the end-to-end delivery of data products
Mastery of first-principles thinking — the ability to take a vague request like "we need to increase retention" and break it down into a structured data project involving specific schemas, logic, and metrics
Proficiency in leveraging AI tools for rapid prototyping of SQL logic, automating documentation, and identifying opportunities where machine learning can enhance traditional business reporting
Expert-level ability to navigate two worlds — discussing JOIN logic and latency with engineers in the morning and LTV or churn-reduction strategies with executives in the afternoon
Expertise in SQL, Python, or R for data exploration, validation, and analysis; working experience with DBT, Git, or similar
Mastery of visualisation and report/dashboard building and performance optimisation; demonstrated experience building with Tableau, Mode, PowerBI (or similar)

Our Benefits:
Paid Vacation Days
Health insurance
Commuter benefit
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
Mental Health & Family Forming Benefits
Continuing education
