Being a Data Analyst (People Insights) is about creating trusted, scalable analytics that help Costa make better people decisions. You’ll be:

Owning complex Power BI reporting and analytics solutions end to end, from ambiguous business questions through to adopted outcomes.

Designing and governing reusable semantic models, advanced DAX and Power Query solutions aligned to enterprise standards.

Translating workforce data into clear narratives, recommendations and executive-level reporting that explain the “so what”.

Delivering accurate, compliant and audit-ready outputs, including Gender Pay Gap reporting, pensions audits, headcount reporting and regulatory submissions.

Developing advanced insights, including predictive and machine learning models (such as attrition risk, absence and workforce forecasting), that move beyond describing what happened to recommending targeted actions.

Driving automation, performance, data quality and standardisation while coaching analysts and contributing to the Analytics Centre of Excellence.

It’s your unique ingredients we’re interested in:

An experienced analyst with advanced Power BI, SQL, DAX and Power Query capability, together with strong relational and dimensional modelling knowledge.

Confident working with senior stakeholders, challenging assumptions and turning complex or ambiguous questions into high-value analytical outcomes.

Experienced in owning complex analytics or reporting initiatives end to end within an enterprise Data & Analytics environment.

A structured problem-solver who can combine multiple data sources, identify trade-offs and present evidence-based recommendations.

Curious about advanced analytics, with experience or a strong interest in applying statistical and machine learning techniques (e.g. Python, R or Databricks) to turn insight into practical, ethical and explainable actions.

Right now, our Support Centre teams work flexibly, blending home working with in-person time whenever it matters most – whether that’s a team moment, a creative session, or simply coming together to share ideas.

We’re excited to be moving into a new home for our brand in St Albans in January 2027 – an inspiring space from which our Support Centre teams will work three days a week to connect and collaborate in-person to bring our bold ambition to life.
