The posting

London 4 days/week in office 9 Month Fixed-Term Contract

  • Are you a senior analyst who thinks strategically about data and can influence how an organisation uses it to make decisions?
  • Are you someone who can step into an established portfolio of work at pace and set the bar for how we manage data quality, governance and insight?
  • If you've operated at Principal or Lead Analyst level in fintech or a regulated, data-heavy industry, and you're energised by moving between hands-on analysis to acting as a strategic partner to the business, this could be the role.

As a regulated payments provider with over a decade of experience, we're the platform finance teams trust to run mission-critical operations.

What You'll Do

Data Analysis & Strategic Insight

  • Lead the synthesis of complex, multi-source data to drive organisation-wide insight and shape high-level strategic decision-making.

Stakeholder Leadership & Communication

  • Act as a trusted voice and influencer across the business, engaging stakeholders directly to shape organisational data strategy and decision-making.

Data Governance & Strategy

  • Provide strategic oversight of data management across Modulr, define governance standards and policy, and contribute to the long-term data strategy.

Data Quality & Standards

  • Set and champion organisational standards for data modelling, quality assurance, validation, and enrichment — and develop best practice frameworks that others follow.

Data Visualisation & Insight Communication

  • Set the standard for how we visualise and communicate data insights, leading the strategic direction of the practice across teams.

Team Leadership & Mentoring

  • Mentor and develop analysts on the team, building capability and raising the quality of analytical work during a period of leadership transition.

Who You Are

What you'll need

  • Proven experience operating at Principal, Lead or Senior Analyst level, ideally within fintech, payments or another regulated, data-intensive industry.
  • A track record of translating complex data into insight that genuinely shapes data-driven decisions across an organisation.
  • Deep expertise in data modelling, quality assurance and visualisation, with the confidence and judgement to set standards rather than just follow them.
  • Strong statistical and analytical grounding — you're comfortable moving between hands-on analysis and strategic oversight.
  • The ability to step into an established team and portfolio of work at short notice, with the confidence to keep initiatives moving without an extended ramp-up period.

Nice to have

  • Experience mentoring and developing analytical teams, especially during periods of transition or change.
  • Exposure to high-stakes, high-visibility data challenges in a fast-growing, regulated fintech or financial services business.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
