Profile overview
The Data & Analytics Analyst I B7 role offers an exciting associate-level opportunity within the Data, Insights & Analytics and Business Strategy & Delivery function at NatWest Group in Gurugram, India.
Designed for ambitious early-career analytical professionals, this position empowers you to take on complex data challenges and directly help shape the strategic future of a major global banking institution.
In this role, you will manage the end-to-end analysis of intricate datasets to uncover critical business issues, detect emerging market or operational opportunities, and drive the delivery of high-quality, scalable business solutions.
Working within a supportive, growth-oriented environment, you will benefit from a structured career trajectory tailored to help you acquire advanced technical capabilities and engage with cutting-edge data analytics methodologies.
Your core mandate involves providing rigorous analytical input to support the design, development, and implementation of innovative business processes and effective problem resolution frameworks.
You will act as a crucial bridge between raw data ecosystems and strategic decision-makers by capturing, validating, and thoroughly documenting complex business and data requirements in strict alignment with enterprise strategic principles.
A central aspect of your daily responsibilities includes interrogating, interpreting, and visually communicating large volumes of structured and unstructured data to support, inform, and constructively challenge business hypotheses.
You will execute comprehensive data lifecycle tasks, including extracting data from enterprise repositories, managing structured storage, performing complex data manipulation, and conducting deep statistical and exploratory processing.
Beyond routine reporting, you will lead and support detailed options analyses, evaluating multiple analytical pathways to recommend the most effective, commercially sound solution for stakeholders.
You will maintain rigorous end-to-end traceability and clear linkage between original business requirements and final analytical outputs, ensuring transparency, governance, and auditability across all deliverables.
Proactive process improvement is vital to this position, requiring you to continuously evaluate existing operational workflows and identify opportunities to streamline processes for superior customer outcomes.
Furthermore, you will design and execute robust quality assurance protocols across every phase of analytical projects to validate findings, verify data integrity, pinpoint inconsistencies, and resolve anomalies swiftly.

Qualifications
Candidates should possess a strong foundational background in business analysis tools, structured analytical methodologies, and modern data interrogation techniques suitable for an associate-level banking analytics role.
A relevant undergraduate or postgraduate degree in a quantitative, technical, or business discipline—such as Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Engineering, or Business Analytics—is highly advantageous for handling complex financial datasets.
Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in core technical and data manipulation skills, including querying relational databases using SQL and performing programmatic data processing and statistical analysis using languages like Python or R.
Familiarity with enterprise business intelligence and data visualization platforms—such as Tableau, Power BI, or Qlik—is essential to translate multi-dimensional datasets into clear, compelling visual narratives for diverse audiences.
Strong expertise in spreadsheet modeling, data cleaning, and structured data validation techniques is required to execute accurate data extraction, storage, and manipulation workflows.
Candidates must exhibit strong analytical expertise and software or script development capabilities aimed at designing robust, repeatable, data-driven solutions rather than relying solely on manual, one-off analyses.
Practical capability in process automation—using scripting, ETL workflows, or automated reporting pipelines—is essential to eliminate repetitive manual tasks, improve operational efficiency, and accelerate insight delivery.
Experience or academic exposure to requirements gathering, stakeholder interviewing, and translating ambiguous business problems into well-defined, testable data specifications is strongly valued.
Candidates should possess a solid grasp of data governance, data lineage, and quality assurance frameworks to systematically detect data anomalies, resolve inconsistencies, and uphold institutional data standards.
Exceptional communication and storytelling skills are mandatory, specifically the ability to tailor complex technical findings and strategic recommendations to non-technical business leaders and specialized technical peers alike.
Strong interpersonal and influencing skills are necessary to constructively challenge existing business assumptions, build consensus across cross-functional teams, and champion data-backed decision-making.
A high degree of attention to detail, critical thinking, and structured problem-solving aptitude is required to conduct thorough options analyses and ensure complete traceability from initial business requirements to final analytics outputs.
Candidates should bring between 0 and 3 years of relevant professional experience, internships, or rigorous academic project experience in data analytics, business intelligence, or quantitative business analysis.
A proactive mindset characterized by curiosity, adaptability, and an eagerness to continuously learn emerging analytics technologies within a fast-paced global financial services environment is essential for long-term success.
