Job Description

We are looking for a high-impact BI Analyst who can cut through complexity, uncover what is really driving performance and turn raw data into decisive commercial action.

This is an opportunity to work at the centre of a fast-paced iGaming and sports betting operation, where your insights will influence player growth, retention, product performance, promotional strategy and revenue.

Your Impact

You will become a trusted source of intelligence across the business, partnering with teams in marketing, CRM, product, trading, finance and operations.

Your analysis will help answer the questions that matter:

  • Which players are becoming more valuable?
  • Where are we losing revenue?
  • Which campaigns are genuinely performing?
  • What is driving churn?
  • Which products, markets and segments offer the strongest growth potential?
  • What should the business do next?

What You Will Be Doing

  • Build powerful dashboards and reporting tools that make performance instantly clear
  • Analyse player acquisition, retention, reactivation, churn and lifetime value
  • Track core metrics such as turnover, GGR, NGR, deposits, withdrawals, bonuses and active players
  • Measure the commercial impact of campaigns, promotions and bonus activity
  • Identify emerging player trends, unusual behaviour and revenue opportunities
  • Analyse sportsbook, casino and product performance
  • Create meaningful player segments to support targeted engagement strategies
  • Investigate performance shifts and explain the story behind the numbers
  • Automate recurring reporting and improve access to reliable business intelligence
  • Present insights and recommendations to senior stakeholders
  • Challenge assumptions when the data points in a different direction
  • Help shape smarter, faster and more profitable business decisions

What You Bring

  • Proven experience as a BI Analyst, Data Analyst or Commercial Analyst
  • Previous experience in iGaming, sports betting, online gaming or a closely related digital industry
  • Strong SQL skills
  • Hands-on experience with Power BI, Tableau, Looker or a similar BI platform
  • Advanced Excel capability
  • Strong understanding of data visualisation and dashboard design
  • Experience analysing high-volume transactional or customer behaviour data
  • A solid understanding of betting, gaming and player performance metrics
  • Strong commercial thinking and problem-solving ability
  • Confidence communicating with technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Exceptional attention to detail and respect for data accuracy
  • Python or R
  • Predictive modelling
  • Customer segmentation
  • Data warehousing and ETL knowledge
  • Campaign attribution
  • Sportsbook or casino analytics
  • Experience working with real-time or near-real-time data

Who Will Thrive in This Role?

  • Someone who is curious, commercially sharp and slightly obsessed with finding the answer.
  • You do not stop at reporting what happened.
  • You want to know why it happened, what it means and how the business can use that insight to win.
  • You are comfortable working in an environment where priorities move quickly, data volumes are significant and the cost of a poor decision can be measured in real revenue.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Build intelligence that shapes strategy, not just monthly reports.
  • Work with rich, high-volume player and transactional data
  • Influence decisions across multiple commercial functions
  • See your analysis translate directly into action
  • Help improve player value, retention and revenue performance
  • Join an industry where data is central to competitive advantage

Exceptional service and quality delivery lie at the heart of the company, we therefore believe in taking a personalised approach to recruitment by striving to understand not only the requirements of our Clients but the nature and corporate culture of their business. In doing so we are not only able to identify the perfect match for your employment needs but are able to provide an employee who will make an immediate impact and begin to add value to your company from day one.

Each division is headed by a qualified senior consultant who will personally consult and advice on the best solution for your recruitment needs.
