Data Analyst (Compliance, 12 Month Fixed Term Contract)

This position is an individual contributor who supports the end-to-end data lifecycle by taking defined business problems and turning them into clean, validated data assets. You will work under the guidance of a Senior Analyst and Manager to bridge the gap between “raw data” and “business answers.” You are the engine of execution — someone who has mastered the technical basics and is now navigating the complexities of business requirements and cross-functional collaboration. This is a 12 Month Fixed Term Contract (FTC) role based in our London.

• Assist in workshops with business/compliance teams to document user requirements, business rules, and reporting requirements.
• Create and maintain data dictionaries and source-to-target mapping documents to ensure everyone speaks the same “data language.”
• Map out existing business processes to identify where data is captured and where it is missing.
• Write and optimise modular SQL queries to transform raw data into “analyst-ready” tables.
• Perform initial exploratory data analysis (EDA) to flag inconsistencies, null values, or outliers to the Senior Analysts and Data Engineers.
• Run the primary tests for User Acceptance Testing (UAT), comparing expected outcomes against newly built solutions.
• Build and iterate on data visualizations (Tableau, Mode, PowerBI, etc.) based on business requirements, established wireframes, and functional specs.
• Monitor existing dashboards for performance issues or data freshness, troubleshooting and fixing logic errors as they arise.

Benefits:

• Spend up to $1,000 per year on costs related to continuing education or on travel to countries Remitly serves, allowing you to gain insights to our customer’s journeys.
• All of our office spaces offer our employees a place to collaborate and celebrate. With locally sourced artwork and vibrant designs, they create an environment that all can enjoy.
• Fill your cup up outside of work and take advantage of our generous paid time off policies, leave policies, and flex working hours to ensure you are able to meet the demands of life outside of work.
• Tap into the learning routines, resources and affinity groups Remitly provides to help you further your own DEI journey.
• Contribute to the communities we serve through volunteering, employee giving, or civic advocacy.
• Remitly provides rich benefit plans intended to cover the needs of our diverse teammates.

Requirements:

• Clear and concise written communication, being able to explain a data discrepancy to a stakeholder without overwhelming them with technical jargon.
• 2–4 years of experience in data analytics, business intelligence, or a similar technical-functional role.
• Ability to take a structured task and identify the necessary logic, filters, and edge cases (e.g., how to handle partial months) independently.
• Demonstrated experience building and publishing reports using modern BI tools; experience with Tableau, Mode, or PowerBI strongly preferred.
• Enthusiasm for using AI (LLMs) to speed up SQL writing, debug code, and draft initial documentation templates.
• Basic understanding of data warehousing concepts (Star Schema, Fact vs. Dimension tables).
• Strong SQL and/or Python or R skills; ability to manipulate and handle large volumes of data, work across data from disparate sources and environments, perform data transformation with ease, and debug others’ code with minimal guidance.
