Data Analyst: what this role brings to your project

A data analyst is who turns a company's data into answers for decision-making: they collect and clean the data, query it with SQL and Excel, cross sources and build the dashboards that communicate what the business should do with each figure.

They analyse what is already being measured, unlike the data engineer who builds the pipelines or the data scientist who trains models to predict. Their delivery is the reliable KPI and the dashboard the business opens every week.

Why work with Shakers

The advantages of adding this profile with Shakers

Reporting stops being crossed by hand

The spreadsheet crossed every Monday becomes SQL: the calculation is written once and refreshes itself with every new data point.

KPIs with a single definition

Every metric has a documented origin: the query that calculates it and the business rule that defines it, identical across teams.

Dashboards people actually use

Dashboards in Power BI or Tableau designed for whoever decides, with every chart answering a real business question.

Analytics without growing headcount

Analytical capacity by project, no hiring process: certified talent that joins with your current access and systems.

Data arrives clean or gets cleaned

Data cleaning is part of the engagement: duplicates, nulls and cross-system joins resolved before any KPI ships.

Decisions you can trace

From dashboard to boardroom: every figure your analyst presents has query, transformation and refresh date documented.

Frequently asked questions

Any other questions? Our team will answer them.

Tell us your data project
What is the difference between a data analyst and a data scientist?
The analyst explains what already happened with the data being measured; the scientist trains models that anticipate what comes. Many projects start with the analyst and grow into the scientist.
How much does a Data Analyst engagement cost?
Scope sets the price: how many sources, how many KPIs and dashboards to maintain, and how complex the data is. The budget closes per project before starting, with no hourly surprises.
What tools does a data analyst use?
SQL to query, Excel and Google Sheets for fast analysis, and Power BI or Tableau to deliver dashboards. Python or R come in when analysis automates or grows statistically.
External analyst or in-house data team?
The external analyst fits when reporting is urgent or the analysis is bounded; the in-house team, when the data flow is continuous. Many start with one analyst by project and decide later.
Can data analysis projects be done remotely?
Almost all of it: data lives in the cloud and working sessions with the team happen remotely. Only the occasional kickoff asks for in-person time.
What does an analyst need to get started?
Read access to the data sources and one session to fix the KPIs and the business questions. With that, the first dashboard with real data is ready in days.
What gets delivered in the first weeks

The first dashboard with real KPIs over your sources, every figure traceable: query, transformation and refresh. Fewer spreadsheets crossed by hand every Monday.

548 live UK vacancies mention data analyst

548 live UK tech vacancies mention data analyst, according to Shakers' market analysis (n=39,811, September 2026). SQL and Excel remain the floor of the trade and Power BI the most present delivery tool.

Where the analyst ends

They do not build the pipeline or the warehouse: they consume them. If your project needs moving and transforming data at scale, the right role is data engineer. If what's missing is predicting, data scientist.

An analyst, not a consultancy

The engagement arrives with the decision your company wants to make and its data. The scope closes before starting and the analytical reasoning is documented with every delivery.
