Junior Data Analyst

We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Junior Data Analyst to join our IT and Data team.

• Query, extract and analyse data from Salesforce (CRM) to produce accurate reporting for fundraising activity, supporter journeys and internal decision-making.
• Document data definitions, business logic and reporting standards so colleagues have a shared understanding of key measures and KPIs.
• Identify trends, anomalies and opportunities within datasets and communicate insights clearly to non-technical stakeholders, with sensitivity to our cause and supporters.
• Support data quality monitoring and data governance in Salesforce, helping maintain clean, reliable and compliant records in line with GDPR and organisational policies.

We are the leading childhood cancer charity in the UK, supporting families and childhood cancer research since 1988. Over the last 35 years, we've developed kinder treatments, improved public and scientific understanding of childhood cancer and raised over £300 million along with investing in over 200 research projects to help fight the injustice of cancer in children.
