Ecommerce Data Analyst - Surrey

Ecommerce Data Analyst

The vast amount of data that is available to the modern ecommerce operation is a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, it allows incredibly detailed analysis of customer behaviour, supply and logistics bottlenecks, retail trends and the overall efficiency of the business. But on the other hand, it can be difficult to find the relevant data to focus on in the flood of information flowing in. A data analyst in ecommerce is the person charged with crystallising the useful statistics and turning them into actionable information and advice.

The ecommerce data analyst will be someone who has experience in handling large and complex data sets and making sense of them. Where the online retailer has in-house logistics and transport to get products from suppliers and warehouses to customers, the analyst often works with the sales and marketing teams to assure delivery for promotions or launches. However, with the growth of third-party logistics, analysts also increasingly offer data analysis to external retailers as a service, which retailers can use to plan their own strategies. That will require a wider view of retail, and an ability to immerse oneself in different sectors.

The skills required

An unshakeable aptitude for dealing with large sets of numbers is the prime quality in the ecommerce data analyst. You’ll be in a position to save companies potentially millions a year through your findings and advice.

That means that you will also need to be a great communicator, able to distill raw data into forms that are relatable to the board members for whom data analysis might not be a strong suit.

Ecommerce Data Analyst Jobs in Surrey

Located in the South East of England, Surrey shares borders with Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire and Berkshire, as well as Greater London, making it one of the Home Counties.

There are many large towns and villages in Surrey - such as Woking, Guildford, Ewell, Epsom and Redhill - making it a suitable choice for those seeking Ecommerce Data Analyst opportunities. What's more, with much of the county being considered part of the London commuter belt, it's also a good location for those who want to work in the capital but live away from the city.

For much of Surrey's modern history, the region has been known for paper manufacturing and gunpowder. However, these were in steep decline by the early 20th century and new industries took over, such as bicycle and car manufacture.

The McLaren Group, one of the best-known names in automotives, is based here. It has manufacturing and administration facilities in Woking and has also opened a technology centre for research and development.

Some of the region's other top employers include engineering firm WS Atkins, Philips Electronics, Colgate-Palmolive and Ericsson. There's also a large Alexander Dennis factory in the area, which manufactures chassis for buses and fire engines.
