Data Analyst Apprentice

About The Role

The Data Analyst Apprenticeship Programme at Motability Operations is an exciting opportunity to take your first steps into a rewarding career at a high performing organisation.

Over the 18 month programme, we will support you as you combine work and study. You will work towards a Level 4 Data Analyst qualification while becoming a valued member of a well established and respected team.

You will build your knowledge of data analysis by working alongside experienced colleagues on meaningful projects across the business.

This apprenticeship offers an alternative route into a successful organisation outside of the traditional university pathway. You will learn from experts in their field, develop your technical and professional skills, and grow your confidence in a collaborative and innovative environment. You will complete a structured training programme with our chosen provider, who will guide you throughout your apprenticeship journey.

Responsibilities

As a Data Analyst apprentice, your responsibilities will vary depending on the projects you are working on and how you develop during the programme. You will work with a wide range of data and tools, building both technical and professional skills.

• Performing initial analysis on raw data
• Clarifying business requirements
• Validating and processing data
• Supporting data governance
• Creating visualisations
• Testing and supporting automation

You will often be one of the first people to interact with new data. You will help classify and cleanse it, and work closely with data engineers. You will also support colleagues across the business to understand the value of their data and the insights it can provide.

Development Skills

As part of your development, you will build the skills to:

• Analyse and evaluate data in different formats such as database tables, JSON and CSV
• Work with databases, including SQL and data structures
• Collaborate closely within your team and across the business
• Work in an agile development environment
• Help define and maintain technical and business processes
• Present ideas and findings clearly in meetings

Who you'll be working with

You will join our Data and Analytics Centre of Excellence team in Bristol.

We provide tools and methods that help the wider business gain insight from our data warehouse and data lake. We mainly work with Oracle, Snowflake and AWS technologies, alongside other database and coding tools.

We are an innovative and supportive team. We work closely with colleagues across the business to make sure we meet their reporting and insight needs in the best possible way.

About You

We are looking for someone who is curious, motivated and ready to learn.

You should enjoy working with others and feel comfortable working independently when needed.

You should have a strong interest in data and technology, even if you do not yet have experience in this area. The ability to understand, explain and solve complex problems will help you succeed.

You should be comfortable adapting to change, proactive in balancing work and study, and keen to keep developing your skills.

You should be confident using Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Any experience with databases, data analysis tools or visualisation tools would be beneficial.

About The Company About us

We're the company behind the Motability Scheme. We exist to deliver smart, sustainable solutions that improve our customers' mobility in a fast-changing world. We're the UK's largest car leasing company and we help over 890,000 people get on the road.

We employ over 1800 people, across London, Bristol, Edinburgh, and Coalville. We know our people are key to our success, so we aim to create an environment that allows employees to flourish. We look for highly motivated people with a combination of commercial sense and real enthusiasm to meet our customers' needs.

What we do

We lease a wide range of tailored mobility solutions to people who receive one of the Government's qualifying mobility allowances.

We take care of their insurance, breakdown, servicing and more, as part of our worry-free package.

At the end of the lease, our customers can exchange their vehicle for a brand-new model. Each year we sell and move around 200,000 cars. This makes us the largest supplier of single-source vehicles back into the used car market.

The Scheme has been providing affordable, worry-free motoring for over 45 years. We pride ourselves on delivering outstanding customer service, with an independent customer satisfaction rating of 9.4 out of 10.
