Data Analyst (Engineer)

AKT London; London; Hybrid; GBP 30,000 - 50,000; Full time

Job description

Data Analyst. London. Hybrid.

AKT (pronounced “act”) is The Personal Performance Company that may change your life. Founded by West End stars Ed Currie and Andy Coxon, AKT is by and for those who are “Born to Perform” — on the stage, at work, or in life.

In 2020, The Deodorant Balm made its stunning debut to rave reviews and awards from Vogue, GQ, Esquire, and Harper’s BAZAAR. Plastic-free, aluminium-free, and gender-free, The Deodorant Balm instantly resonated with those looking for a natural deodorant that genuinely worked. Five fragrances and over 200,000 happy armpits later, The Deodorant Balm is already becoming a household name.

To this day, every new AKT product is put through its paces by London’s hard-working theatre community to ensure it lives up to the high standards of its founders. As a rule, AKT’s products don’t break character — ever. It’s this effectiveness that has propelled AKT from the backstage to bathroom cabinets, bedside tables, duffel bags, and carry-on luggage worldwide. And the good news is — the performance is just getting started.

About The Role

As Data Analyst you will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of actionable insights that drive impact across AKT. This is the first data analyst role for AKT and so will work broadly guided by the Head of Data. The role covers the data spectrum from building data pipelines, analysis of complex datasets, designing and running AB tests, to developing powerful BI visualisations.

Analysis & Experimentation (35%)
