Work

As an apprentice, you’ll work at a company and get hands-on experience. You’ll gain new skills and work alongside experienced staff.

What you’ll do at work

A Data Analyst (DA) delivers the technical aspects of market research projects, often several at a time. This involves programming of survey materials in specialist software, handling and manipulation of qualitative and quantitative information, management of data collection processes and data analysis. The role can be client-facing too; hence the DA also requires an understanding of working in a business services industry and providing deliverables to clients on budget and on time.

DAs implement technical aspects of the research process, including questionnaire scripting, analysis scripting and database management, hence a prior understanding of software programming can be beneficial to the role. Additionally, the DA is involved in ensuring the research fulfils the client needs.

Initially the role is to support senior research managers and directors in survey management. Success at DA level is progression to manage other research elements and other analysts in a team.
