Urban Jungle is here to change the insurance industry for good.
We’re one of the fastest-growing businesses in the UK, and we’re taking on one of the biggest and most widely used categories in the world. Urban Jungle puts the customer at the heart of everything it does, uses the latest technology to make insurance simple, fair and affordable, and helps us give our customers much more confidence in their financial futures.
All of this has meant we’ve already been able to help more than 300,000 customers get better insurance and become one of the top-rated home insurance providers in the UK, rated Excellent on Trustpilot from over 9,000 reviews. We’ve raised over £30m in funding to date to help us with our mission.
We also have a huge focus on people and our planet. We’ve recently placed 1st in Tempo's 2024 award for best startup to work for, and came top 10 in the Deloitte Fast50. We’re also proud to be a certified B-Corp, and a Carbon Neutral company.
And the best bit? This is just the beginning.
About the role
We’re looking for a driven and enthusiastic Junior Data Analyst, to join us as we continue to scale our analytics capabilities.
You’ll need to dive straight in - we’re looking for someone who loves problem solving, and is excited by a challenge. You’ll support the business by producing insights across trading and risk, increasing data visibility, and producing reports for our board, partners and investors.
As you familiarise yourself with the data we have and how the business works, you’ll become a go-to person for analysis and insight, working with all other teams in the business, across a wide range of cross-functional projects.
With lots of responsibility early on, your work will have a tangible impact on the decisions we make and the future of Urban Jungle as we grow!
Here’s what you’ll get up to
- Take ownership of day-to-day reporting, analysis and insight; working with all teams across the business to help drive data-driven decision making.
- Support with analysis on our live cross-functional projects e.g. analysing market competitiveness of our pricing models, assessing the impact of product changes, or identifying the drivers behind changes in customer quality.
- Work alongside our Data and Engineering teams to optimise our data platform for use across the wider team.
- Report on our core KPIs in weekly business meetings.
- Work with our Commercial team to understand the metrics we’re targeting at a business level and design new ways to improve visibility of them.
- Conduct experimental analysis, using our data to assess the impact of new product features, A/B tests, or changes to the customer journey.
- Develop your business-wide knowledge to understand the interaction between different parts of the business, and how that impacts our analysis.
About you
You've read this far! Here's what we’re looking for from you:
- A knack for numbers with demonstrable experience working with either SQL, R, Python or Excel.
- Strong problem-solving skills with a proven track record of analysing, interpreting, and summarising complex data.
- A strong communicator with the ability to communicate key insights to a variety of stakeholders across the business.
- A level of attention to detail that will put us all to shame! You’ll easily be able to spot any anomalies in the data.
- Use your excellent time management abilities to prioritise daily tasks in accordance with overarching company goals.
These requirements are a guide as to what we’re looking for, but if you don’t have all of the skills listed above, that’s okay! Please don’t let that hold you back from applying if the role excites you.
