The opportunity

We're looking for a hands-on, intellectually curious Data Analyst/Modeler to play a central role in an exciting, high-visibility data initiative for a leading pet insurance and veterinary services business.

Our client has access to an established US-built veterinary care ontology. A rich, structured knowledge model covering animal medical conditions, treatments, and pharmaceuticals, and the relationships between them. Your mission: assess whether this US ontology is fit for purpose for the UK market and help shape it into the foundation of the client's long-term UK and European data solution.

This is a rare chance to work at the intersection of data modelling, knowledge graphs, and real-world veterinary medicine on a project with senior leadership visibility and genuine strategic importance.

What you'll be doing

• Getting deep into the source dataset: interrogating, profiling, and understanding the structure and content of an existing US veterinary ontology/taxonomy
• Analysing and validating how well that ontology maps to the UK market - identifying gaps, mismatches, and areas needing localisation
• Acting as the bridge between the US solution provider and UK veterinary specialists - facilitating workshops and discussions, and translating between clinical concepts and data structures
• Performing semantic searches and exploratory analysis across graph-based and relational data
• Contributing to data modelling decisions that will shape the client's longer-term target solution
• Helping leadership answer the key strategic question: can this ontology be lifted, adapted, and owned as the basis for the UK business going forward

Expect a split of roughly 70% analysis/30% data modelling.

What we're looking for

Must have:

• Strong, demonstrable data analysis skills with the ability to get hands-on quickly in an unfamiliar dataset
• Experience with Neo4j and graph data structures (the source system is graph-based)
• Solid understanding of taxonomies, ontologies, and hierarchical/relational data modelling
• Strong SQL skills - some of the data may live in standard relational tables
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills - you'll be the connective tissue between technical teams and clinical subject-matter experts on both sides of the Atlantic
• The ability to rapidly grasp domain concepts (in this case, medical/veterinary, conditions, treatments, pharmaceuticals) and connect them to data structures

Nice to have:

• Experience with graph query languages (Cypher, GraphQL or similar)
• Prior exposure to medical, clinical, pharmaceutical, or insurance data
• Experience working with knowledge graphs or semantic data models
• Comfort working in a loosely defined brief, shaping the role as you go

Who will thrive in this role

We need someone flexible and pragmatic, a "muck in and get it done" type who is equally comfortable interrogating a graph database, sketching a data model, or leading a conversation with a veterinary specialist.

If you enjoy ambiguity, fast-moving projects, and being trusted to figure things out, you'll fit right in.
