This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing FMCG e-commerce business operating at a Global scale. The company sells high-volume consumer products through digital channels and manages a complex operation across demand planning, inventory and fulfilment.

As the business continues to scale, there is an increasing need for clear, actionable insight across stock availability, cancellations and operational performance. This role works closely with senior stakeholders and focuses on turning data into insights that support margin, customer experience, and cost control. It is a hands-on role with clear commercial impact, rather than reporting for reporting’s sake.

The Role

  • Analyse stock levels, movements and availability across the business, identifying risks that could impact sales or customer experience
  • Identify patterns that lead to overstocking, stockouts or operational inefficiencies
  • Own reporting around order cancellations and refunds, identifying root causes such as stock issues, fulfilment delays or system errors
  • Track trends over time, flagging emerging issues before they escalate
  • Quantify the commercial impact of cancellations, refunds and lost revenue
  • Produce regular, clear reporting for the Head of Finance to support operational and commercial decision-making
  • Identify areas of cost leakage across fulfilment, logistics and operations
  • Support improvements in warehouse efficiency, logistics performance and customer experience through insight
  • Ensure data accuracy across finance, operations and e-commerce systems
  • Work with teams to improve data capture, reporting processes and overall data quality
  • Help move the business from reactive reporting to proactive, action-driven insight

About You

  • Strong analytical background, ideally from a Maths, Statistics, Economics, Data Science or similar STEM discipline
  • 1-2 years’ experience working with data in a professional environment, including graduate or junior analyst roles
  • Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills with confidence in handling large datasets
  • Able to interpret data and explain insights clearly to non-technical stakeholders
  • Naturally curious, enjoys problem-solving and asking “why”
  • Comfortable working with imperfect data in a fast-paced, scaling business
  • Commercially minded, focused on driving action rather than producing static reports
  • Detail-focused but able to see the bigger operational and financial picture

What’s on Offer

  • Up to 35,000 Salary
  • Excellent benefits, including staff discounts, gym memberships, and other additional perks.
  • Opportunity to join a fast-growth business with real scale and momentum
  • High exposure to senior leadership and decision-making
  • A role where insight is genuinely used to drive change
  • Strong platform for long-term development in commercial analytics
  • Being part of such an exciting brand, with endless possibilities

TECH-AGNOSTIC ROLE

About the job

Who are Answer Digital?

Answer Digital are a proudly Employee-Owned digital transformation consultancy headquartered in Leeds. We’ve delivered large-scale, cutting edge and life saving digital solutions in both the private and healthcare sectors. After a period of huge growth, we’re looking to invest in our people with our first hybrid Technology Consulting Academy.

We’re passionate about investing in our people, so much so that “Nurturation” is one of our core values (our way of nurturing growth through collaboration!).

Our Academy

We’re looking for motivated and ambitious people to join our Technology Consulting Academy. You’ll be employed with us from Day 1 and the programme has been designed by our talented consultants to accelerate the professional development of great people. The Academy will cover all our technical capabilities to a high level, specialising more as the academy progresses.

By the time the Academy is complete, you’ll have all the skills and knowledge to play a pivotal role on one of our projects, helping build solutions for our clients across Software and DevOps Engineering, Data Engineering and Quality Assurance.

Academy Structure: What to expect

With a blend of workshops, mentored coaching sessions and self guided learning, the Academy will cover:

  • The fundamentals of the Software Development Lifecycle
  • Proficient application of Agile methodologies within a professional environment (e.g. Scrum, Kanban, Lean).
  • Training in core technologies used across our technical capabilities including
  • Programming Languages (.Net, Javascript, Python)
  • Database and Data technology (SQL, Pyspark, ETL, Snowflake, Data Architecture, warehouses and lakehouses)
  • DevOps and Cloud Technologies (Azure and AWS, CI/CD, Terraform and Docker)
  • Test Frameworks (Cypress, Accessibility and Performance testing)
  • Include upskilling in emerging AI technologies and their application in software, date and quality assurance engineering.
  • Strategies for fostering personal development and navigating career progression.

You will also be integrated into the broader Answer Digital community, engaging with professionals across various disciplines and industry sectors, with plenty of opportunity to learn. As the Academy approaches its conclusion, you will complete a series of analytical tasks and presentations for your Academy Coach. The Academy culminates in a 2-3 week assignment undertaken alongside an experienced consultant on a live project, followed by a formal presentation of their work to the wider Answer Digital community.

After completing the Academy, you will join one of our technical capabilities supporting our clients to deliver great outcomes.

What you’ll bring to Answer

For us, this isn’t about the jobs you’ve had but the experience you’ve gained along the way though in order to succeed you’ll need;

  • Either hands on experience or a qualification in a Technology field (such a tech bootcamp, a computer science degree, a tech apprenticeship etc.) or a Data field (a role involving processing/manipulating large data sets or a mathematics degree etc.)
  • Demonstrated interest and experience within the Information Technology sector.
  • Someone who constantly challenges assumptions, solves problems and focuses on the details to get things right.
  • A great communicator, being able to articulate problems to our clients and how we can solve them.

This could come from working in tech already, a career changer with lots of transferable skills or someone from academia, who’s had plenty of experience with the above - either way, we’d love to hear from you!

It would be great if you also had experience in some of these, but if not we’ll help you with them:

  • Experience working in multidisciplinary teams to build something great.
  • Practical, hands-on experience working on Agile projects with .Net, Javascript, Python, SQL etc…

About you

This isn’t just about your experience, we’re investing in you as a person and you’ll be set up for success if you have:

  • A genuine commitment to developing a career in technology and digital transformation
  • A passion for continuous learning and professional development.
  • Great communication skills, encompassing the ability to interact confidently with diverse individuals and groups at all organisational levels, and to adapt how you communicate to suit your audience.
  • A strong focus on achieving positive outcomes for both end-users and clients.
  • A collaborative and team-oriented approach to work.
  • Commercial experience or the understanding of commercial impacts to project work
  • Effective time management skills and the ability to prioritise

Diversity and Inclusion

At Answer we proudly embrace diversity and inclusion - we want to create a safe environment for everyone to bring their true selves to work.

We will do everything we can to support your application. If you require any adjustments to be made to your application (whether that’s support with our interview questions, adjusting how we interview, or financial support with our hiring process) then please speak to Jonny Hiles, TA Lead (jonny.hiles@answerdigital.com)

Our Interview Process

  • We pride ourselves on having a fair but flexible recruitment process, we want to create a platform where you can show us your best. For us, keeping it simple means you can focus on understanding if our people, values and the work we do are right for you. Our typical process can be broken down into 3 stages;
  • Application Process: Depending on the volume of applications, our process may involve a couple of assessments. We focus on your inherent ability rather than your CV. That’s why the application includes an analytical thinking and problem solving exercise. We want to assess your capacity for analytic thinking and problem-solving—skills that are crucial for a successful career with us.
  • Recruiter call: This will be with a member of the recruitment team, and normally lasts 15-30 minutes. We will talk to you about Answer Digital, the type of work we do, and an overview of the role. We’ll ask you some questions about your current situation and why you’re interested in working here. Here, we’d advise asking any questions about our people, such as our culture, career progression, or approach to flexible working.
  • Skills based interview: This interview will be with 2 people, normally from the team you’re applying to work with and roughly lasts an hour. This interview will involve questions around your experience, the skills you’ve gained and the work you’ve done. We’ll also ask questions about the role and challenges you might face and how you’d face them. Here, we’d recommend asking questions about the role, the day to day responsibilities and what life in the team is like.
  • Cultural/Value interview: The final interview stage is an hour-long discussion with two members of our Leadership team (either Directors or Capability Leads). This interview is a two-way conversation, as much about you assessing if Answer is the right fit for you as it is about us assessing your fit with Answer. The focus will be on our culture and values. We’ll discuss what our values mean to us, and we want to understand what values are important to you and how you like to work. We strongly encourage you to ask any questions you have about Answer as a business, including our business model and our ambitious growth plans.
