The role

As Junior Data and Performance Analyst, you’ll support the Sales team by producing data, insight and reporting that helps colleagues and partners make better decisions, identify opportunities and support the continued growth of the business.

You’ll work with existing data products, help improve how information is presented and used, and support the development of new reporting tools that respond to business needs. You’ll also learn how to analyse trends, communicate insights clearly and turn large volumes of data into practical recommendations.

This is an ideal role if you enjoy solving problems, spotting patterns and explaining what the data means in a way that others can understand. You’ll be supported to build your confidence, develop your technical skills and learn from experienced colleagues across the business.

What you’ll be doing

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Support the development and improvement of existing data products and reporting tools.

• Help plan, build and implement new data products that respond to business needs.

• Work with colleagues and partners to understand data requirements and provide useful reporting support.

• Act as a key point of support for selected data products, helping the wider sales function access information and insight.

• Analyse trends, identify patterns and present findings in a clear, engaging and commercially useful way.

• Use data storytelling to help colleagues understand what the numbers are showing and what action could be taken.

• Contribute ideas, challenge existing approaches and champion best practice and continuous improvement.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who is eager to learn, enjoys working with numbers and wants to develop into a confident data professional.

You’ll bring:

• A degree, equivalent qualification or relevant experience in a financial, mathematical or analytical subject, such as Business, Economics, Finance or similar.

• A proactive mindset, with a willingness to ask questions, learn and find solutions

• The ability to develop effective business relationships, communicate information clearly and explain ideas in a way that others can understand.

• High levels of attention to detail and a high level of accuracy.

• Good organisation skills and the ability to deliver work to deadlines.

• An interest in using Agentic AI to improve and streamline processes

• An interest in commercial performance, data insight and how businesses use information to make decisions.

It would be helpful, but not essential, if you have some exposure to:

• Power BI, Excel or Tableau.

• SQL or querying data.

• Project work, university assignments or placement experience involving data, reporting or analysis.

If you don’t meet every preferred point, we’d still encourage you to apply. This is a role with training and support, so we’re interested in your potential as much as your experience.

At Premium Credit, we want colleagues to build meaningful and rewarding careers. This role will give you hands-on experience in data analysis, reporting, insight generation and stakeholder communication, while helping you understand how data supports real commercial decisions.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop technical skills across reporting and visualisation tools, build confidence working with stakeholders and learn how to turn data into insight that drives action. Our wider employer proposition also highlights investment in career and skills development, colleague networks, wellbeing support and learning opportunities.
