Where you’ll work: At OVO, we understand that a one size fits all approach doesn’t work for everyone. That’s why we created the OVO Way of Flexibility. All our roles are hub based (Bristol, Glasgow or London), providing a dedicated space for collaboration, connection and teamwork. You’ll also have the flexibility to work from home.

Everyone belongs at OVO. We are on a mission to solve one of humanity's biggest challenges, the climate crisis. We need diverse people from all abilities, gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.

Teamworking for the planet: Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. The team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen through systematic data management and end-to-end workflow mapping, uncovering and eliminating operational waste. Streamlining these processes directly reduces carbon emissions, while our focus on automation and AI provides the scalable data infrastructure needed to track and accelerate the transition to net zero.

This role in a nutshell: You’ll collaborate with a team of experienced analysts, led by a Principal Analyst, to create engaging MI that tells the story of our business. By partnering directly with various operational functions, you’ll provide thought leadership to shape their domains and design MI that minimises data-search time and maximises decision-making capability. This role offers a unique opportunity to drive new methodologies in MI design and visualisation, ultimately building functional 'playbooks for performance' so every team clearly understands how and where to measure success.

Your key outcomes will be:

• Data Design, Visualization & Insights: Tailored Reporting: Design and build automated, reusable performance views, dashboards, and visualizations that provide clear trend insights for various organizational levels.
• Data Storytelling & Delivery: Extract insights and independently craft compelling narratives, confidently presenting complex data in an engaging way tailored to the audience.
• Platform Selection: Choose and deploy the right data platforms based on end-user consumption needs.
• Data Governance & Pipeline Management: Automation & Trust: Build automated data pipelines using trusted sources aligned with strict data governance standards to ensure availability, scalability, and accuracy.

• Regulatory Compliance: Partner with the central Regulatory team to deliver accurate, automated compliance reporting that meets all quality assurance standards.
• Collaboration & Cross-Functional Partnership: Product Alignment: Partner with Product teams to ensure data readiness alongside new platform functionality.
• Leadership & Mentorship: Lead collaborative workshops and meetings, communicate clearly, and mentor junior team members through constructive design and code reviews.
• Strategic Impact & Customer Focus: Commercial Strategy: Align daily priorities and team vision with the broader corporate strategy, proactively challenging work that does not drive strategic value.
• Prioritization: Regularly review backlog priorities to maximize the team's impact on business goals.
• Customer-Centric Outcomes: Use data insights to identify and deliver opportunities that directly improve the customer experience.
