Associate Data Analyst

Role overview

This position sits in the Hometrack Analytics and Consulting team at the London head office. The analytics function is central to the business and acts as a centre of excellence, bringing together data analysts and analytics consultants who work on valuation innovation, risk modelling, product analytics, and the creation of clear, actionable insights for internal and external decision-makers.

The team focuses on understanding the factors that influence property values, risk, and housing market behaviour, then turning that understanding into research and insight that customers can use to drive improvement and change. This is an opportunity to join a highly respected, forward-looking business at the forefront of prop tech.

The Analytics Associate is expected to carry out in-depth analysis and modelling of property and mortgage data, while also supporting the wider analytics team and customers with data-driven work. The successful candidate should be self-driven, methodical, and comfortable managing tasks in a structured way.

Key responsibilities

• Carry out detailed analysis and statistical modelling using property and mortgage datasets.
• Process and review property portfolio valuations through Hometrack’s AVM engine, including support for analysis and risk modelling around its use.
• Prepare polished quantitative reports and presentations, typically in written or slide format, for mortgage lenders, housing associations, and other clients or partners.
• Help develop, evaluate, and continually monitor the statistical performance of Hometrack’s AVM and related models and services.
• Create and maintain business intelligence tools, such as visual reporting, to assist commercial and product teams.
• Respond accurately to client questions that require analytical input or support.
• Support colleagues across the analytics team and the wider organisation as needed.
