We're supporting a PE-backed fashion retail client on a freelance basis to help bring clarity to their inventory data.

We're looking for a sharp, personable Data Analyst to get under the hood, work directly with the client's team, and build a clean, centralised baseline of their current inventory position.
What you'll be doing:
- Working closely with client stakeholders to identify the source of truth across multiple spreadsheets
- Asking the right questions to untangle inconsistent, messy data
- Using Excel (and ideally AI tools) to build a clear, centralised view of inventory status
- Bringing structure and clarity — this is not a data engineering or system-building role
