Role
Who you are
- Proven experience in a Data Analyst or Analytics Engineer role, with experience of making an impact with data and insights
- Strong proficiency in SQL, including experience with complex joins, CTEs, and window functions
- Practical experience with dbt is essential. Familiarity with Google BigQuery or similar cloud warehouses is a huge plus
- Ability to translate complex data findings into clear, compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences
- A solid understanding of statistical analysis and experimentation techniques (e.g., A/B testing)
- The ability to jump in, learn our stack quickly, and maintain momentum is key
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Data Analyst to join us on a fixed-term basis to cover maternity leave (12 months). This is a "best of both worlds" role: you’ll bridge the gap between deep product insight and robust analytics engineering
- You’ll be responsible for understanding user behaviour and measuring product impact while ensuring our underlying data transformations (via dbt) remain scalable and reliable during this key period of growth
- Partner with tech, design, and product teams to provide actionable analysis that informs roadmaps and measures the success of new initiatives
- Own end-to-end analysis projects: define problems and hypotheses, gather requirements, analyse data, present findings with recommendations, drive decision-making discussions
- Maintain and build data transformation processes using dbt (Data Build Tool) and develop complex SQL queries to extract and cleanse data
- Take responsibility for data reliability, ensuring pipelines are checked for accuracy and consistency
- Maintain and iterate on interactive dashboards (using Lightdash) that inspire product enhancements
- Act as the data point of contact, helping them self-serve and interpret their own metrics

Our take
A key development in the last 5 years has been a move towards screen-based kids entertainment like apps and streaming services. However, more recently there have been concerns that excessive screen time for children can be damaging to health and development. So, many consumers are looking for alternative products which will expose children to modernity without the drawbacks of many modern devices. This is the demand which Yoto is setting out to capitalise on.
Yoto's product - a screen-free audio platform - enables children to access features such as audiobooks, podcasts, and soundscapes via physical cards inserted into the device. The Yoto Player has received considerable early praise from consumers and from investors also, who granted Yoto considerable funding.
Perhaps the most difficult challenge for a business operating in the highly competitive children's toys market is keeping its product current. However, Yoto's software is fully customisable, meaning that alongside its library of content, parents can add their own audio files to the device to suit the interests of their children. This imbibes Yoto with a customisability that gives it an edge, especially as children's tastes change with age.
