Are you passionate about data-driven insights and identifying trends? Then we have a great opportunity for you.
The role
As a Data Analyst Student Placement, you will be working within our Mortgage Distribution team. Your learning journey will equip you with the knowledge, skills and behaviours to progress your learning journey. You will also be working within one of the biggest employers in the North East; our employees and the community were we operate are at the heart of what we do.
You will have the opportunity to manage data from end to end across our mortgage distribution teams. You will start by querying our databases so you will have the opportunity to learn and create business insights end to end across the full mortgage distribution journeys. Once you have a story you will end your analysis by conveying it to the business in a suitable format.
You will help to shape the management and development of key administrative processes and you will have a shared responsibility for working with our partners for the development, design, production and distribution of relevant system data. You will help to maintain, analyse, develop & introduce improvements to the Mortgage Distribution MI suite to support the growth of Newcastle Building Society.
With the support of your manager and mentor, you will have objectives to work towards to make sure you are developing during your time with us. We go beyond the traditional placement route to offer you the opportunity to help you learn and experience things beyond your role that will support your career development through a team challenge project within our Early Talent community.
Assessment Centres to identify the successful candidate will be held throughout April 2025 at Cobalt Business Park
