Data Analyst and Digital Infrastructure Specialist – Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP)

This KTP project will design, build and embed scalable digital infrastructure, data capture and analytics capability across the Snowdon Timber Products business. The postholder will lead the end-to-end delivery of the project, helping Snowdon Timber Products unify its data, improve commercial insight, increase operational efficiency, and embed a lasting culture of data-led decision-making.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading the delivery of a complex digital and data transformation project.
• Designing and implementing scalable data architecture and analytics processes.
• Developing and testing analytics to improve product selection, pricing, promotions and stock management.
• Working closely with stakeholders across the business to understand data needs and translate them into practical solutions.
• Collaborating with Bangor University academics through structured supervision and mentoring.
• Building relationships with digital platform and technology providers.
• Supporting change management, training and knowledge transfer to embed capability within the organisation.

A typical week may include project leadership meetings, academic supervision sessions, hands-on analytics development, stakeholder engagement across operational teams, and training or capability-building activities.

This 28-month KTP project between Snowdon Timber Products and the Albert Gubay Business School will provide the expertise required to develop an in-house scalable data architecture to support bespoke data analytics processes within the organisation, as well as the support to drive the associated culture change to data-driven decision making. This will enable Snowdon Timber Products to exploit new digital trading platforms and become a market leader in e-timber trading within the UK.
