About The Role

What you’ll be doing

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.

For the duration of the 18-month programme we will support you in combining work and education - you will have an opportunity to gain a Data Analyst qualification while also being an important and highly valued member of a well-established and respected team. You will have the opportunity to build your knowledge of data analysis by working alongside experienced individuals in exciting and rewarding projects and programmes.

This opportunity will provide you with an alternative route into a highly successful organisation away from the classic university pathway. You'll have a chance to learn from experts in their field, develop and grow, while working in a collaborative and innovative environment. You will complete a comprehensive training programme with a chosen provider and will be guided on every step of your apprenticeship journey. Data analysts have an interesting and varied set of responsibilities that vary depending on project requirements and personal drive. They could involve performing initial analysis on raw data, clarifications on business requirements, data validation, processing, governance, visualisation, testing and automation.

The Data Analyst is often the first person to interact with new data within the team, so is responsible for initial classification and cleansing of the data, along with providing information to the data engineers. They will also help people from the business understand the value of their data and insights that can come from it.

As part of your training and development, you will develop technical and non-technical skills that will allow you to:

Analyse and evaluate data in various formats (DB tables, JSON, csv, etc)
Work on databases, including SQL and data structures
Collaborate closely within your team and beyond
Work in an agile development environment
Help define and maintain technical and business processes
Present ideas and findings in meetings

Who you’ll be working with

The Data & Business Intelligence team at MO provides tools and methods for the wider business to garner insights from our data warehouse and data lake. We work mainly on Oracle, Snowflake and AWS technologies, with additional use of other database and coding technologies.
