Performance Analyst - 3 Month FTC

Are you a data-driven problem solver who enjoys turning complex information into meaningful insight and practical recommendations? We’re looking for a Performance Analyst to join our Business Improvement Team on a 3-month fixed-term contract, with a strong likelihood of extension.
