Data Analyst Positions
There is a great demand in London for full-time data analysts, and the variations in this role mean that different organisations will require different things from candidates. As such, a business may decide that they want a candidate to:

- Knowledge of or experience with different programming languages
- A certain number of years’ experience in their field
Expectations of a Data Analyst
The expectations set out for a role in data analytics may vary, depending on whether the individual is entry-level, junior, mid-level, or senior. For instance, a junior data analyst will be expected to carry out the basic task of using specialist tools to gather and scrutinise data to generate information that will help individuals in decision-making processes. Meanwhile, a senior data analyst will have to be able to explain this data and information to management, clients, and customers and to answer questions about it. Depending on the individual, they may also be expected to help train entry-level and junior data analysts on their team.
It is also likely that the expectations and duties involved with the role will evolve and grow with the organisation itself. These are also not the only expectations set for these positions. Individual organisations will each set out their own expectations of what they require from an employee in a data analyst role, so it may be the case that the role will differ slightly depending on the company and the position being offered.
