- Cedar is currently partnered with a private equity-backed telecoms business to secure an Interim Data Analyst, based in The City of London. This is a hybrid contract role offering £400 - £500 per day (Inside IR35), for an initial 3-6 months, with the opportunity to play a pivotal role in system integration and data transformation at a business-critical moment. The Company This PE-backed telecoms business has rapidly scaled to become a major player in the UK fibre broadband space. With a strong presence in London and ambitious expansion plans underway, the company is investing heavily in its systems, data architecture, and finance capabilities to support sustained growth. As they embark on a significant system and customer migration programme, the business is seeking a commercially-minded Interim Data Analyst to support this evolution and drive insight-led decision-making across the business. The Role As Interim Data Analyst, you'll sit at the centre of a fast-moving transformation programme, supporting system integration, customer migration, and enhanced reporting across the business. This is a hands-on, commercially focused role requiring both technical expertise and the ability to communicate insight with clarity. Key responsibilities include: Acting as a bridge between finance, IT, and operations - aligning data sets, uncovering insights, and driving informed decision-making. Building scalable, flexible data models to support evolving business needs during systems change. Designing automated dashboards and reporting tools to empower business leaders with real-time, actionable information. Identifying and resolving data quality issues at source, embedding governance improvements in the process. Analysing performance across key drivers - including revenue, cost, and customer behaviour - and delivering clear, concise recommendations.

A commercial lens - you understand how data influences strategy, finance, and operational decision-making. Experience working across teams - whether it's finance, tech, or operations - with the ability to communicate clearly and credibly at all levels. A proactive mindset and the confidence to take ownership, drive clarity and challenge assumptions when needed. Exposure to telecoms, infrastructure, or other data-rich sectors undergoing change would be helpful, but not essential. Immediate or short notice availability, with the flexibility to pick things up quickly and deliver at pace. The day rate of £400 - £500 per day should represent a fair value or a logical uplift on your previous compensation. Compensation & Benefits As well as the day rate of £400-500, this Interim Data Analyst role offers the opportunity to directly shape the data environment of a high-growth telecoms business. You'll work closely with a forward-thinking and commercially astute finance team, helping to build long-term data infrastructure while delivering short-term insights that influence strategic decisions.
