Fashion Data Analyst

Bureau Talent is exclusively partnering with a leading name in the UK fashion scene to find a commercially-minded Fashion Data Analyst. Our client is currently undergoing a digital-first transformation, moving away from "gut-feeling" buying toward a sophisticated, data-driven strategy. As the lead analyst on this desk, you will be the primary link between the Buying & Merchandising teams and the C-suite, providing the narrative behind the numbers to drive profitable growth. Key Responsibilities Merchandising Intelligence: Support the WSSI (Weekly Sales, Stock & Intake) process by providing granular data on category performance and sell-through rates. Price & Promotion Strategy: Analyse the impact of seasonal sales and mid-season promotions to protect gross margins while clearing stock efficiently. Returns Analysis: Identify high-return patterns by fabric, fit, or supplier to help the Technical Design team reduce wastage and improve customer satisfaction. Market Mapping: Use web-scraping tools and market reports to benchmark our clients pricing and assortment against key UK high-street competitors. Visual Storytelling: Translate raw SQL outputs into "board-ready" dashboards that highlight risks and opportunities in real-time. The Candidate Toolkit Technical Excellence: High proficiency in SQL and Excel is non-negotiable. You should be comfortable handling large datasets (BigQuery, Snowflake, etc.). Data Viz: Hands-on experience building automated reports in Tableau, Power BI, or Looker. Commercial Acumen: You don't just report data; you understand what it means for the bottom line. You speak the language of "Open-to-Buy" and "Markdown Contribution." Education: A quantitative degree (Statistics, Maths, Economics) or a specialized Fashion Business degree with a heavy focus on analytics.
