By measuring and improving how content is created, validated, and delivered across Health Content Management, Data Operations, and Journals Operations, we cut turnaround times, raise quality, and give stakeholders clear visibility into performance. Every efficiency we unlock helps Elsevier deliver trusted, evidence-based content that supports providers, prepares students, improves clinical outcomes, and benefits every patient.\nAbout the Role:-\nThe Senior Data Analyst II takes ownership of analysis and reporting from the first question to the final result. The work helps content move through our operations faster and more smoothly, supports better decisions based on facts, and speeds up ongoing improvement across our global teams. The role works with a high degree of independence: it turns loosely defined business questions into clear ideas to test, builds the right tools to answer them (dashboards, performance measures, and in-depth studies), and guides senior stakeholders with clear, story-driven insights. Experience in publishing is helpful but not required. What matters is a willingness to learn, or a strong existing grasp of, how content travels from start to finish and where it is handed from one team to another. This includes how content and its connected data are created and managed, where suppliers get involved, the steps in each workflow, the quality checks along the way, the points where work goes wrong or has to be redone, and the factors that drive volume and speed.\nThe role works closely with operations leaders and neighboring teams, such as strategy, content production, finance, the central analytics group, and technology and data teams. Together they make sure everyone measures success in the same way, relies on trustworthy data, and sees real, measurable improvements in how work gets done.\nA Senior Data Analyst II is a recognized expert in their area. They increasingly influence not only what is reported, but also how the organization thinks about measurement, quality, and performance. They coach junior analysts and help business users read and use reports correctly and consistently.\nResponsibilities:-\n1. Stakeholder Partnership and Insight Leadership\nLead analytics engagements independently, from clarifying objectives and framing hypotheses to defining success measures and executing end-to-end.\nAct as a thought partner to senior stakeholders: priorities meaningful metrics, offer options, trade-offs, impact sizing and monitoring plans.\nProactively surface problem areas in the content journey (bottlenecks, defect leakage, rework, delays, supplier variability, workload imbalance) and propose targeted analyses and actions.\nPresent recommendations as clear, non-technical narratives tailored to stakeholder context and decision points.\n2. Reporting, Dashboards and KPI Delivery\nDeliver reports, dashboards and BI structures that meet business requirements and support trend and performance analysis.\nDefine best-fit reporting: KPI definitions and levels (team to global), metric logic, segmentation, benchmarking and an adoption plan to embed usage in BAU.\nDeliver accurate, timely KPI reporting at every stakeholder level; partner with Data Management to publish trusted dashboards with consistent definitions and strong quality controls.\n3. Publishing Domain and Content-Flow Process Analytics\nApply deep knowledge of publishing and content operations to interpret workflow behavior and find improvement opportunities.\nBuild measurement frameworks covering throughput and cycle time (lead, queue and touch time), stage-level performance and handoff quality, rework and defect drivers, supplier variation and risk hotspots, and productivity, capacity and workload distribution.\nWork with process owners to turn operational pain points into measurable indicators and actionable improvement levers.\n4. Data Preparation, Integration and Engineering Literacy\nHandle large, complex datasets and combine multiple sources using SQL and modern analytics tooling.\nUnderstand integration mechanics: pipelines, transformations, joins, grain, lineage, refresh cadence and performance constraints.\nWork with big data platforms (Databricks preferred); SQL essential; Python and/or Scala desirable; KNIME, Tableau/Power BI and Snowflake exposure an advantage.\nBridge business needs and technical implementation so solutions are scalable, maintainable and aligned to platform standards.\n5. Advanced Analytics, Modelling and Statistical Thinking\nApply techniques suited to the problem: trend decomposition, segmentation, cohort analysis, anomaly detection, hypothesis testing, correlation exploration and scenario modelling.\nDevelop predictive analytics, basic machine learning and NLP use cases where relevant, and translate outputs into operational recommendations, guardrails and monitoring metrics, not just model accuracy.\n6. Data Governance, Quality and Metric Consistency\nSafeguard quality, integrity, completeness, timeliness and reliability; run regular data quality assessments and resolve gaps and discrepancies.\nAlign metric definitions across teams to remove inconsistencies between dashboards; lead or co-lead documentation (definitions, KPI logic, change logs, refresh schedules, known limitations).\nChampion a data quality culture in which data trust is foundational to performance management.\n7. Coaching, Enablement and Community Leadership\nCoach junior analysts on data preparation, modelling, visualisation standards, stakeholder management and project execution.\nTrain and support reporting champions and business users for consistent, effective use of reports; promote problem resolution and best-practice adoption among fellow analysts.\n8. Project and Program Contribution\nLead medium/tactical analytics projects with minimal oversight, managing tasks, blockers, timelines and expectations.\nJoin international programs needing analytics/BI expertise: set metrics to monitor success criteria, support planning and resourcing with analysis and documentation, and automate wherever feasible.\nRepresent the analytics function in governance discussions and communicate decisions to the wider reporting community.\nRequirements:-\nEducation: Bachelor's degree required, with preference for a quantitative discipline (Economics, Math, Statistics, Data Science, Engineering or similar); Master's/PhD a plus, particularly for modelling-heavy work.\nExperience: Typically 8+ years in data or business analytics, ideally in a global multinational; preference for exposure to publishing operations, content-flow or equivalent process-heavy domains.\nEssential skills: Requirements gathering and stakeholder management; advanced analytical skills with attention to detail; strong SQL on large datasets; high proficiency in Tableau and/or Power BI; excellent communication and decision-oriented data storytelling for non-technical audiences; strong documentation discipline.\nDesirable skills: Databricks; Python and/or Scala (not essential); statistical modelling; Snowflake; KNIME or similar tooling; familiarity with data warehousing and modern analytics architectures.\nFunctional Competencies (Expected Level)\nThought Partnership: Guides stakeholders through hypothesis-led thinking, selects the most relevant analyses and metrics, and helps set goals aligned to business objectives.\nData Preparation: Expert at blending data across tools and big data platforms; coaches others.\nData Modelling: Applies advanced scenarios and statistical approaches to big datasets; coaches modelling techniques.\nData Visualisation: Designs user-centric dashboards and influences stakeholders through high-impact communication.\nData-Driven Culture: Identifies barriers and opportunities, proposes practical solutions, and influences beyond the analytics team.\nDomain Skills: Advanced understanding of content-flow and publishing operations; builds working knowledge of adjacent domains.\nProject Management: Leads medium/tactical projects, resolves blockers, assigns work effectively and coaches juniors.\nBehaviours (Advancing Leader | Professional Individual Contributor)\nCollaborate to Deliver: Enable winning teams through collaboration and constructive challenge; coach and develop talent; communicate with clarity; lead inclusively and minimise bias.\nDrive Commercial Edge: Act strategically and anticipate future needs; prioritise customers using data; value data through benchmarks and accuracy checks; deliver sustainable performance with ownership.\nAct with Agility: Think enterprise-wide and cross-RELX; stay curious about new tools and techniques; navigate ambiguity with considered, calculated decisions; build networks across cultures and geographies.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nStakeholders consistently use dashboards and insights to run performance conversations and drive action.\nContent-flow bottlenecks and quality pain points are quantified, explained and improved through measurable interventions.\nKPI definitions and reporting logic are consistent across teams, and data trust improves through governance and documentation.\nJunior analysts and reporting champions grow through structured coaching and enablement.\nAnalytics delivery becomes faster, more scalable and more embedded in BAU operations\nWork in a Way That Works for You:\nWe promote a healthy work/life balance and provide various well-being initiatives, shared parental leave, study assistance, and sabbaticals to help you meet both your immediate responsibilities and long-term goals.\nWorking for You:\nWe know that your wellbeing and happiness are key to a long and successful career.
