Fashion Data Analyst

Bureau Talent is exclusively partnering with a leading name in the UK fashion scene to find a commercially-minded Fashion Data Analyst. Our client is currently undergoing a digital-first transformation, moving away from "gut-feeling" buying toward a sophisticated, data-driven strategy.

As the lead analyst on this desk, you will be the primary link between the Buying & Merchandising teams and the C-suite, providing the narrative behind the numbers to drive profitable growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Merchandising Intelligence: Support the WSSI (Weekly Sales, Stock & Intake) process by providing granular data on category performance and sell-through rates.
• Price & Promotion Strategy: Analyse the impact of seasonal sales and mid-season promotions to protect gross margins while clearing stock efficiently.
• Returns Analysis: Identify high-return patterns by fabric, fit, or supplier to help the Technical Design team reduce wastage and improve customer satisfaction.
• Market Mapping: Use web-scraping tools and market reports to benchmark our clients pricing and assortment against key UK high-street competitors.
• Visual Storytelling: Translate raw SQL outputs into "board-ready" dashboards that highlight risks and opportunities in real-time.

The Candidate Toolkit

• Technical Excellence: High proficiency in SQL and Excel is non-negotiable. You should be comfortable handling large datasets (BigQuery, Snowflake, etc.).
• Data Viz: Hands-on experience building automated reports in Tableau, Power BI, or Looker.
• Commercial Acumen: You don't just report data; you understand what it means for the bottom line. You speak the language of "Open-to-Buy" and "Markdown Contribution."
• Education: A quantitative degree (Statistics, Maths, Economics) or a specialized Fashion Business degree with a heavy focus on analytics.
