Job Description

Junior Data Analyst

Department: Operations

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: London, UK

Reporting To: Luke Bircumshaw

Description

As a Junior Data Analyst, you will turn complex trading and market data into actionable insights that directly influence how and where we trade. You will build reporting and visualisation tools that the team relies on to steer our strategies, uncover opportunities hidden in large datasets, and help us make smarter, faster, data-driven decisions in a fast-paced quantitative trading environment.

Working closely with traders and quants, you will have responsibility from day one: testing ideas, challenging assumptions and bringing fresh perspectives to the table. You will also collaborate with the quant team to develop and refine our models, from building datasets and running back tests to validating performance in live trading. This is an opportunity to have a tangible impact on trading performance, combining rigorous analysis with practical problem-solving to help drive the business forward.

Key Responsibilities

  • Turn data into decisions: your analysis will directly shape how and where we trade
  • Build the reporting tools management relies on to steer the business
  • Work through large volumes of trading and market data to find the edges others miss
  • Be the traders' go-to analyst: test their ideas quickly, challenge assumptions and bring your own insights
  • Work with the quant team to sharpen our models, from building datasets and back tests to proving what works once it's live

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

Must have:

  • Degree in computer science, maths, statistics or another quantitative field
  • Strong SQL
  • Proficient in Python
  • Experience working with large datasets
  • Familiar with statistical analysis and modelling
  • Familiar with AI tools (Claude preferred)

Nice to have:

  • 25 days holiday per annum, plus UK bank holidays.

About White Swan Data

At White Swan Data we decide what is worth betting on. Over the past 15 years the technology at the heart of our business has produced consistent and significant returns for our clients. We are a small but rapidly growing team of mathematicians, data scientists and software engineers constantly striving to refine our world class betting models while also researching and deploying new ones.

Our work bridges three domains, each challenging in its own right - betting and gambling, quantitative research and software development. The nature of our work and the relative immaturity of modern betting markets means opportunities to exploit are not in short supply. But people with sufficient skill and versatility to attack these projects are hard to find! So we are always looking for graduates or working practitioners in any technical discipline with an aptitude for analysing betting markets or for writing software to bet into those markets. Our very best people combine those skills with the capacity to see projects through from start to finish, and much else besides.

Do get in touch if you think you can be one of them.
