Performance Analyst

Role Profile: Performance Analyst

About Nimble

Nimble is a boutique technology consultancy based in the UK North; Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester. We partner with ambitious clients across the public and private sectors to design, build, and optimize digital services that deliver real value. We pride ourselves on our agile mindset, our creative problem-solving, and our collaborative culture.

The Role

As a Performance Analyst at Nimble, you will play a critical role in ensuring that the digital products and services we build are driven by robust data and actionable insights. You will work within multidisciplinary, agile delivery teams—alongside Product Managers, Designers, and Software Engineers—to champion a culture of data-driven decision-making.

You will be responsible for designing performance measurement frameworks, configuring analytics tools, and translating complex data into compelling stories that guide our clients' strategic direction and improve the end-user experience.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define Performance Metrics: Work closely with clients and internal stakeholders to define what "success" looks like, establishing clear Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and performance measurement frameworks for digital services.

  • Implement & Configure Analytics: Lead the setup, configuration, and management of digital analytics solutions, predominantly using Google Analytics (GA4) and Google Tag Manager, ensuring accurate data collection across platforms.

  • Data Analysis & Insight Generation: Collect, cleanse, and analyze quantitative and qualitative data to understand user behaviour, identify pain points, and uncover opportunities for iterative service improvement.

  • Dashboarding & Reporting: Design and build automated, intuitive dashboards (using tools like Looker Studio, Power BI, or Tableau) to communicate real-time service performance to both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders.

  • A/B & Multivariate Testing: Design, run, and interpret experiments to test hypotheses and optimize user journeys, ensuring all findings are robust and statistically significant.

  • Consultative Guidance: Act as a trusted advisor to clients. Present complex data in a clear, compelling way, challenging assumptions and providing evidence-based recommendations that align with business goals and user needs.

  • Agile Collaboration: Embed yourself in agile delivery teams, ensuring that performance metrics are considered at every stage of the product lifecycle (Discovery, Alpha, Beta, Live).

Core Skills & Experience

  • Digital Analytics Expertise: Proven, hands-on experience using Google Analytics (GA4) to track user behaviour and measure digital performance. Experience with Google Tag Manager is highly desirable.

  • Data Visualization: Strong capability in building clear, accessible reports and dashboards using visualization tools (e.g., Looker Studio, Power BI, Tableau).

  • Consultancy & Communication Skills: Exceptional ability to translate complex data into actionable, easy-to-understand insights for diverse audiences. You must be comfortable managing client relationships, facilitating workshops, and presenting findings to senior stakeholders.

  • Agile & User-Centered Design: Deep understanding of agile methodologies and how data informs iterative, user-centered design. Note: Familiarity with the UK Government Digital Service (GDS) standard is a strong advantage for public sector projects.

  • Technical Proficiency: Comfortable working with data manipulation and querying languages (e.g., SQL, Excel/Google Sheets, and ideally basics of Python or R).

  • Problem-Solving Mindset: A proactive approach to identifying data gaps, troubleshooting analytics implementations, and finding innovative ways to measure non-standard digital interactions.

What We Offer

  • Impactful Work: The opportunity to shape digital services that impact thousands of users across the UK.

  • Collaborative Culture: A supportive, tight-knit environment where knowledge sharing and continuous learning are highly valued.

  • Professional Growth: Dedicated training budgets and pathways to develop your technical skills and consultancy expertise.

  • Flexible Working: A hybrid working model tailored to balance client needs with your personal well-being.
