Role
Who you are
- Ideally 2/3+ years of experience in a data analysis role
- SQL: Strong proficiency in writing complex SQL queries is essential
- Transformation (dbt): Experience with dbt is beneficial. However, since our warehouse is SQL-based, we are happy to teach dbt if you have strong SQL skills and a willingness to learn
- Visualization: Experience building dashboards in BI tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau, PowerBI). Experience with Looker is preferred
- Cloud Platform: Familiarity with the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) ecosystem, specifically BigQuery, is a plus but not essential
- Spreadsheets: Proficiency in Google Sheets (or Excel) to manipulate and analyze data quickly
- Scripting: Basic knowledge of Python for data transformation and analysis is useful
- Curiosity: You are curious about the data underlying everything and seek to apply scientific rigour to assumptions
- Communication: You can communicate complex data concepts effectively to the rest of the business
- Problem Solving: You enjoy challenges, are transparent about problems, and understand how data can solve business issues
- Autonomy: Ability to work autonomously as well as part of a team in a fast-paced environment with changing directions
What the job involves
- We are looking for a junior to mid-level Data Analyst to join our Data Science team
- You will report directly to the Data Science Lead and sit within the wider Product & Technology department
- You will work within a collaborative tight-knit team, handling a variety of data sources across the business to drive understanding and prediction of performance
- In this hybrid role, you will act as a "full-stack" analyst
- You will be responsible for collecting, organizing, analyzing, and presenting data to help Purple and our customers answer key business questions through visualizations, dashboards, and reports
- While your primary focus will be analysis, you will also gain hands-on exposure to data engineering
- You will help maintain our existing data pipelines and warehouse, supporting our internal and customer-facing analytics platforms
- We're looking for someone who can ensure Purple is maximising the value of our data and helping stakeholders gain insights
- Pipeline Monitoring: Monitor automated workflows in Cloud Composer (Airflow), identifying failures and re-running jobs to ensure data availability
- Data Modelling: Maintain and enhance our data warehouse (built on BigQuery) using dbt
- Internal Analytics: Develop and maintain internal dashboards using Looker to provide insights to the wider business
- Customer Analytics: Support our customer-facing analytics offering via embedded GoodData dashboards
- Deep-Dive Analysis: Write complex SQL queries to analyze large amounts of information, discovering trends and patterns
- Collaboration: Coordinate with different functional teams to identify where the data team can aid their workflows and ensure stakeholders get value from projects delivered
- Data Governance: Handle data in a safe and secure manner
Our take
As multi-store businesses look to digitise their brick-and-mortar operations, they can run into difficulties providing wayfinding services to customers, or managing dispersed real-world assets. Purple AI helps these businesses to improve store connectivity, with location services such as in-store customer WiFi provision, wayfinding and asset tracking solutions.
Of particular note, Purple has worked with a number of hospitals to meet the complex connectivity and asset management needs of employees and patients. Boasting the ability to provide wayfinding solutions for these facilities - in which patients and visitors navigate multiple floors to reach the right ward - showcases the utility of Purple's suite.
Alongside its wide net of hospital clients, Purple provides WiFi solutions for the likes of McDonald’s, Pizza Express, and the Hard Rock Cafe - a lofty client list in terms of brand popularity. As location services become more important across the board, the company will likely have the chance to build on this established presence even further.
