Job Description Interim Data Analyst

Remote (UK-based) Full-time (4.5 day week) - temporary until 31st March 2026

Do your best work, for the right reasons.

We're looking for a Data Analyst who combines analytical thinking with a sense of purpose. At Oak, our work in data and analytics helps power our mission, ensuring that public funds are used wisely, transparently, and to the greatest impact for teachers and pupils across the UK.

Oak is a fully remote, mission-driven organisation offering high levels of flexibility, autonomy, and purpose. We're a national not-for-profit working in partnership with teachers to create the highest-quality, sequenced curriculum and lesson resources for pupils across all subjects and age groups.

Our culture has been independently recognised through:

• Flexa verified (93% overall score, including 95% for working hours and 97% for role modelling)
• Escape the City's Top 1% Employers - based on anonymous colleague reviews of culture, development, and impact
• Investors in People Gold - through external accreditation and colleague feedback

About the Role

At Oak, data analysis isn't just about understanding outcomes, it's about enabling impact. You'll work at the heart of a mission-driven, fully remote organisation that takes pride in the clarity, fairness, and transparency of its financial management.

You'll work with people across Oak to help them to track, measure and understand the impact of their work using data analysis, data visualisation, and communication skills.

This is a hands on role with opportunities to work across the data life cycle, from data collection, cleaning and transformation, analysis, and presentation. You'll have the opportunity to hone both your technical and interpersonal skills in the exciting Ed Tech field.

What You'll Be Doing

• Provides support for ensuring data and analytics drive knowledge, insights and shared context for the organisation.
• Drives the continuous improvement and quality of Oak's insight generation tools, ensuring the organisation is supported to draw insight from Oak's data.
• Produce and maintain high quality visualisations that support both internal and third party educational research and insights.
• As a member of the Oak Team, you will contribute to the wider success and culture of the organisation and support and role model our five values: create the right environment, be a great colleague, own your role but work for the team, make things happen, and keep getting better.
• Work in cross functional and product oriented squads with colleagues from across the organisation, as required.
• Support all work across Data and Analysis and take on other general responsibilities as required.
• Demonstrable experience and understanding of conducting data analysis, generating insights and visualising data.
• Comfortable working with stakeholders from non analytical backgrounds, gathering requirements, and translating them into structured analytical questions and approaches.
• Highly data literate with a good working knowledge of data types, the use of basic descriptive statistics (e.g. mean, standard deviation), and how to use data visualisation tools and techniques effectively to communicate insight.
• Ability to logically structure approaches to data transformation and analysis (e.g. sequentially / modularly) coupled with a strong understanding of how analytical programming languages (e.g. SQL, Python, R etc) can be used to support this.
• You will be comfortable working at pace, with a range of digital systems (including proprietary ones as required) and you will continuously look at ways that the team can keep getting better. You will be excellent at working as part of a remote team, building relationships and managing your time effectively.

25 days annual leave, plus one extra day for each year of service (up to 28)
