Senior Product Analyst – Contract
£400 Per Day
6 Months
This is an opportunity to join a high-performing product team at a pivotal moment, supporting them through a period of high demand and increasing complexity. You will focus on experiment evaluation and product decision support, not just reporting, so your analysis will have a direct and visible impact on what gets built and shipped. This part-time, 6 month contract starting in February 2026 is well suited to an experienced product analyst who enjoys owning analysis end to end and working with autonomy.
The Company

The Role and Deliverables
- Own end to end analytical work for product experiments and initiatives, from defining the analytical approach through to final recommendations.
- Design and support experimentation analysis, including A/B tests, covering metric definition, validation and results interpretation.
- Query, validate and interpret complex data using SQL and Python, ensuring outputs are robust enough to inform key product decisions.
- Communicate analytical insights clearly to product, engineering and stakeholder teams, focusing on “good enough to decide” rather than perfection.
- Partner with cross functional teams to clarify questions, decision needs and ensure analytical and statistical rigor in methods used.
- Contribute to reusable analysis assets such as documentation, templates and frameworks that make experimentation evaluation more efficient.
Your Skills & Experience
- Strong SQL and Python skills, including complex joins, aggregations and data validation on large or messy datasets.
- Solid understanding of experimentation and statistics, with hands-on experience evaluating A/B tests and product experiments.
- Background working in fast-moving product teams where analysis directly supports product roadmaps and feature decisions.
- Confidence working with incomplete or imperfect data and still providing clear, pragmatic recommendations.
- Ability to explain analytical approaches and findings to non-technical stakeholders in a concise and accessible way.
- Proven track record of operating independently as a contractor, quickly integrating into existing teams and taking ownership of analyses.
