“As a kid I loved maths, now I’m making the data add up”
As a Data Analyst, you’ll be analysing one of the largest collections of data in Europe. Using a variety of cutting edge tools, you’ll be at the forefront of tackling tax fraud, evasion and avoidance. You’ll be helping us to predict patterns of behaviour and understand emerging trends – and expanding the boundaries of what can be achieved using data.

We also accept professional experience in place of a degree, as long as you have two years’ in a data analytics related field. You should also have experience of using software to analyse data.
Desirable but not essential, experience of using any of the following software to analyse data. This could be SAS (Base/Guide/Miner), SQL, Java, R, DROOLS, Cloudera tools (Hive/ Impala/ Spark), Python, or another package. You will also have excellent organisational, literacy and interpersonal skills.
About us
We are the UK’s tax administration. We make sure that money is available to fund the UK’s public services, and help families and individuals with targeted financial support.
As part of our expanding analytics team, you’ll gain skills in problem-solving and leadership – as well as knowledge of the latest tools and software packages. And on top of that, you can look forward to an excellent starting salary, the support of a dedicated mentor and unrivalled career development.
