KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• A Data Analyst (DA) delivers the technical aspects of market research projects, often several at a time. This involves programming of survey materials in specialist software, handling and manipulation of qualitative and quantitative information, management of data collection processes and data analysis. The role can be client-facing too, hence the DA also requires an understanding of working in a business services industry and providing deliverables to clients on budget and on time.
• DAs implement technical aspects of the research process, including questionnaire scripting, analysis scripting and database management, hence a prior understanding of software programming can be beneficial to the role. Additionally, the DA is involved in ensuring the research fulfils the client needs.
• Initially the role is to support senior research managers and directors in survey management. Success at DA level is progression to manage other research elements and other analysts in a team.
