Insight Analyst

Description
We need someone with a minimum 2-3 years’ experience of designing insightful research and precision analysing the results. You’ll use the findings to prepare impactful reports, using data-visualisation and compelling writing to make them accessible to non-technical audiences.
Social Engine has been at the forefront of applying behavioural insights for nearly 10 years. Our specialism in the public and voluntary sectors means we work with councils, housing associations and charities across the country. It’s all about social impact. One day you might be analysing male violence against women, the next it’ll be the experiences of social housing tenants, and the next might be looking at why some women don’t take up breast cancer screening tests.
Our behaviour change work is award-winning. It’s creative. Our research is robust and we pride ourselves on building strong relationships with our many clients.
What You’ll Bring
Experience:
• At least 2-3 years of work experience in an analytical role, such as an insights analyst, data analyst or researcher.
Education:
• A bachelor’s university degree, with a strong emphasis on research methods and statistics. Studies based on psychology, and the application of behavioural science would be a real bonus.
Your Skills:
• Highly advanced proficiency with spreadsheet software (MS Excel, Google Sheets), including pivot tables, v-lookups, filtering and arithmetic operations (sum, count, sumifs etc.).
• Comfortable with manipulating, merging and cleaning large datasets, preparing them for analysis.
• Proven experience of using complex data to produce accurate, insightful and engaging findings and recommendations – with the writing proficiency to create engaging and well-structured reports.
• Ability to create and use appropriate data visualisations (e.g. bar charts, clustered bar charts, line graphs) to present results in a simple way, adhering to best practice.
• Proficiency in translating business and stakeholder requirements into clear and measurable research questions to guide analysis.
• A good understanding of statistical concepts and tests (p-values, hypothesis testing, chi-square tests, t-tests).
• Good grasp of quantitative research methods (e.g. experimental research, survey design, stratification, sample sizes, control and intervention groups).
• Experience and knowledge in qualitative research analysis, such as thematic analysis or grounded theory, is a plus.
• Experience with creating dashboards using Looker Studio and/or PowerBI is a plus.
• Experience with Python (pandas and NumPy libraries), or a willingness to learn, is a plus, but not mandatory.
• Support our ongoing compliance with GDPR and cyber security good practice across the organisation.
Your Approach:
o Confident to articulate and present results, both in writing and orally, in an accessible and non-technical way.
o A can-do attitude and willingness to collaborate with colleagues and clients to develop appropriate research activities for our projects.
o You are comfortable working independently and possess a strong ability to learn and adapt as projects require.
o You are a data-driven individual who strives to promote best practices in data analysis and visualisation within the organisation.
o You possess the logic, critical thinking skills and creativity to extract the right insights from data, delivering practical recommendations and benefits to our projects and clients.
