Fractional Data Analyst (6–8 Hours per Week) – FinTech / Remote
PLEASE READ THE FULL JOB DESCRIPTION BEFORE APPLYING
Location: Remote
Working Pattern: Fractional – approximately 6–8 hours per week
Environment: Early-Stage FinTech
About the Opportunity
Our client is an early-stage FinTech developing a data-driven technology proposition within financial services.
As the organisation develops its product and commercial capability, it is looking for a hands-on Fractional Data Analyst to help turn growing volumes of business and product data into meaningful analysis, insight and decision support.
This is an early-stage environment.
You will not be joining a large established Data function with perfectly structured datasets, mature reporting infrastructure and predefined analytical processes.
The successful candidate will therefore need to be comfortable working with ambiguity, identifying data-quality issues and helping establish analytical processes as the organisation develops.
Further details regarding the engagement and participation structure will be discussed directly with candidates progressing through the process.
Application – Mandatory Qualifying Questions
Please submit your CV together with a cover letter. Within your cover letter, you must answer each of the mandatory qualifying questions below.

How many years of professional Data Analyst or equivalent analytical experience do you have, and in what environments?

What is your level of SQL proficiency? Please provide an example of a complex analysis or data problem you have personally solved using SQL.

What experience do you have cleaning, validating and analysing incomplete or inconsistent datasets?

Which data-visualisation and business-intelligence tools have you used professionally? Please explain your level of hands-on experience with each.

Please provide an example where analysis you personally conducted materially influenced a product, commercial, credit, risk or operational decision.

What experience do you have using Python or other analytical/programming tools? Please describe how you have used them rather than simply listing the technology.

Do you have experience analysing financial-services, FinTech, payments, lending, credit, business or other complex datasets? Please explain.

What experience do you have working directly with non-technical stakeholders to understand a business question and translate it into useful analysis?

This opportunity requires approximately 6–8 hours per week. Can you consistently commit to this level of involvement alongside your other professional commitments?

These questions are mandatory and form part of our initial assessment process. Applications that do not provide a clear answer to every mandatory qualifying question will be automatically disqualified and will not be considered further in the recruitment process.
What You'll Be Doing
You will provide hands-on analytical support across the developing organisation, including:

Analysing business, product and operational datasets

Writing and maintaining SQL queries

Cleaning and validating data

Identifying data-quality issues

Exploring patterns, trends and anomalies

Developing dashboards and reports

Translating business questions into analytical approaches

Presenting findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders

Supporting Product, Risk and commercial decision-making

Helping establish appropriate metrics and KPIs

Supporting data-driven experimentation and evaluation

Documenting analytical methodologies where appropriate

Helping improve the consistency and usability of data as the company develops

What We're Looking For
You may be a strong fit if you have:

Professional Data Analyst or equivalent experience

Strong practical SQL capability

Experience manipulating imperfect real-world datasets

Strong analytical reasoning

Experience with data visualisation / BI tools

Some practical Python or comparable analytical-programming capability

Strong attention to detail

Ability to identify questionable data rather than blindly report it

Ability to explain findings clearly to non-technical audiences

Strong problem-solving skills

Ability to work independently

Comfort operating within an early-stage environment where not everything has already been defined

Experience within FinTech, financial services, credit, payments, lending, banking or other data-rich regulated environments would be particularly valuable.
We will consider candidates from adjacent industries where they can demonstrate sufficiently strong analytical capability.
Engagement Structure
This is a flexible, fractional engagement of approximately 6–8 hours per week within an early-stage FinTech venture.
It is designed for someone comfortable contributing specialist analytical capability alongside other compatible professional commitments and with a structure centred on longer-term participation in company growth rather than a conventional package at this stage.
Full details of the participation structure will be discussed with candidates progressing through the process.
