Business Reporting Analyst - Contract

I'm currently supporting a leading organisation that has recently expanded its reporting function, and we're now recruiting for a Business Reporting Analyst to join a newly formed team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with data, has strong attention to detail, and thrives in a time critical environment.
The Role at a Glance

This position will suit someone who is structured, detail driven and comfortable working with large datasets. You'll be responsible for:

• Updating, maintaining, and managing Excel-based reports (macro enabled files).
• Collecting data from multiple sources, aggregating it, and preparing it for stakeholder review.
• Identifying when a macro has failed and escalating concerns quickly.
• Checking whether data trends fall within stakeholder thresholds and flagging exceptions.
• Working closely with another colleague to meet tight reporting deadlines.
• Being available during the first week and last week of every month, when reporting demand peaks.

This isn't report writing - it's ensuring the numbers, checks, and inputs behind those reports are accurate, timely, and well managed.

What You'll Need

• Intermediate Excel skills (comfortable with formulas, data manipulation, working with macro enabled files).
• Strong attention to detail - this is more important than advanced technical complexity.
• Ability to work with large datasets.
• A background in maths, engineering, analytics, or similar is desirable.
• Someone who can spot busy days and proactively start early to meet deadlines.
• A structured thinker who can follow documented rules and processes with accuracy.
