Job description

Data Analyst, Data Manipulation, Analytical Graduate, Excel, Reading, Mainly Remote

Data Analyst required to work for a large Professional Services company based in Reading. However, you will only be required to work in the office circa 2 times per month, so it will be mainly remote. You MUST be able to get to Reading on the days required and it will be at your expense. This is a 6 month contract initially, INSIDE of IR35 and will pay circa £150-160 per day. Bear in mind, there will be additional cost stripped out of the pay rate when processed via an Umbrella company. The rate is ALL IN, including holiday pay etc. Also, we need someone as close to being immediately available as possible.

We need an Excel Wizard! We need someone who can create pivot tables etc and who has a real strong eye for data. You must be a data enthusiast and if you are an Analytical Graduate (such as Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Economics etc), you would need to have some commercial experience, maybe as an Intern or during a gap-year (for instance).

Lastly, 2 weeks on you will start at 07:00 and finish at 15:15. The following 2 weeks will be 09:00 – 17:15. There will also be the odd couple of hours to be worked on a Saturday morning but you will either gain this time in lieu or you will be financially compensated.
