I'm looking for a senior backend Node.js developer to join a SaaS business in Manchester for the next 3 months. The role is working across a new greenfield platform in a small development team. The role is outside IR35, and infrequent office visits for key meetings will be required in central Manchester. I'm looking for someone who's got experience blasting through a load of tickets as part of an ongoing feature development roadmap for this new platform. The majority of the work will be Node.js and Typescript with AWS. Any wider fullstack experience with React/Next.js would be beneficial but this is overall a backend leaning role. 3 months initially, outside IR3, mostly remote. As an industry leading, nationwide Marketing, Digital, Analytics, IT and Design recruitment agency, we are continually receiving new assignments to work on, so keep a close eye on our website, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter pages for a full list of current permanent and interim opportunities as well as marketplace news and fun stuff.

We’re partnering with an ambitious, high-growth luxury fashion and eCommerce group that is investing heavily in the next stage of its growth. Commercial Data Analyst £45,000 – £55,000 | London | Hybrid, minimum 3 days per week Are you a Data Analyst who wants to get closer to the decisions your work actually influences? We’re partnering with an ambitious, high-growth luxury fashion and eCommerce group that is investing heavily in the next stage of its growth. At the heart of the business is a membership-led digital platform with a growing customer base, rich behavioural data and significant plans across the wider group. As the portfolio expands, the business is now investing in the data, technology and commercial infrastructure needed to support that growth. They’re looking for a Commercial Data Analyst to become a foundational member of that journey. This isn’t a role where you’ll spend your time producing dashboards that disappear into the business. You’ll work directly with senior commercial leadership, using data to understand customer behaviour, identify trends and answer the questions driving growth across the organisation. What you’ll be doing You’ll take ownership of analysis across customer, membership, trading and operational performance. That will include: Using SQL to interrogate data across multiple systems and datasets Turning broad commercial questions into clear analysis Identifying trends, opportunities and areas worth investigating further Building reporting and dashboards using tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Looker or similar Presenting findings in a way that makes sense to commercial and senior stakeholders Helping define and measure the KPIs that matter as the business scales Working between Commercial and Technology as the business develops its central data warehouse Supporting data quality, accuracy and reporting logic as that environment evolves You won’t be expected to architect or build the data warehouse yourself. There is already technical ownership in place. Instead, you’ll help make sure the data being produced is accurate, useful and able to support real commercial decisions. What we’re looking for You’ll need a strong grounding in data analytics and enough technical confidence to work independently, but this role is equally about what you do with the information once you’ve found it. The key requirements are: Strong SQL skills and confidence working independently with data Previous experience working with a data warehouse Experience with BI/reporting tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Looker or similar Strong reporting and trend-analysis experience The ability to explain data clearly to non-technical and senior stakeholders Commercial curiosity and the confidence to look beyond the original question Experience within eCommerce, consumer, subscription, membership, marketplace or app-led businesses would be particularly relevant. We’re much more interested in how you think than whether you’ve used an identical technology stack. Why consider it? This is a newly created role with genuine visibility and room to grow. You’ll work closely with the senior leader responsible for Commercial Finance, Strategy and Growth, with regular exposure to the wider leadership team. You’ll also be joining at a point where the group is actively improving how it uses data, consolidating reporting and building the foundations needed to support its next phase of growth. For someone currently working in a larger analytics team, this could be a chance to: Take much broader ownership of your analysis Work directly with senior decision-makers See the commercial impact of the insights you produce Help shape a developing data function Build towards Senior, Manager and potentially broader Data & Analytics leadership as the business scales Package £45,000 – £55,000 Hybrid working, minimum 3 days per week in the London office Private medical cover Staff discount Further benefits currently being introduced If you’re technically strong but want your next move to give you more commercial exposure, ownership and progression, we’d love to hear from you.
