Customer Insight Lead
London/Bournemouth
60-80k

We are hiring a Customer Insights and Strategy Transformation Lead to define and connect the customer insight vision across analytics, BI and self service reporting. This role blends strategic direction with hands on delivery, ensuring insight directly shapes customer outcomes and commercial decisions.

This is a high visibility opportunity to sit at the centre of data, insight and decision making. You will have real influence over how customer insight is used across the organisation, with the mandate to improve ways of working, build scalable capability and raise confidence in data as a strategic asset.

The Company
We are working with a large, well established organisation operating in a highly regulated, customer focused environment. The business places growing importance on analytics and customer insight to drive strategy, transformation and performance. With teams based across multiple UK locations, they offer a collaborative culture and a strong commitment to hybrid working and long term investment in data capability.

The Role

  • Own the customer insight vision and operating model, aligning analytics, BI and self service reporting.
  • Act as the strategic bridge between data, technology, insight and business change.
  • Work closely with analytics, insight and data science leaders to prioritise and deliver high impact insight.
  • Translate complex analysis into clear, actionable recommendations for senior stakeholders.
  • Champion a customer first mindset, embedding insight into strategy, transformation and day to day decisions.
  • Remain hands on with analysis, tooling and insight delivery, not just oversight.
  • Improve trust, governance and consistency in customer data and insight outputs.

Your Skills and Experience

  • Strong commercial experience in customer analytics or customer insight leadership roles.
  • Advanced SQL skills and strong experience using Power BI or similar BI tools.
  • Working capability in Python for analysis, modelling or data exploration.
  • Experience building or supporting predictive insight, models or analytical frameworks.
  • Deep understanding of self service reporting and scalable insight delivery.
  • Proven ability to own senior stakeholders and drive insight through to measurable impact.

What We Offer

  • Hybrid working, typically two days per week in the office.
  • A high impact role with scope to shape customer insight capability for the long term.
  • Clear opportunity to influence strategy, transformation and analytics maturity.

How to Apply
Apply through Harnham to learn more about this opportunity and discuss your suitability in confidence.

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data science jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that actually reach senior and lead data science talent. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data science hiring over the next three years — from MLE crossover to GenAI workflows. Data science has spent the past decade being described as the sexiest job of the twenty-first century. By 2026, the reality is both more nuanced and more interesting than that label ever suggested. The discipline has matured, fragmented, deepened, and in some respects reinvented itself — and the jobs market has changed with it in ways that create genuine opportunity for those who understand what employers actually want, and genuine difficulty for those still operating on assumptions formed five years ago. The data science jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. The generalist data scientist — equally comfortable wrangling data, building models, and presenting insights to the board — is giving way to a more specialised landscape where employers know exactly what problem they are trying to solve and are looking for candidates with the specific depth to solve it. Machine learning engineering, causal inference, experimentation, AI product development, and domain-specific applied science have all emerged as distinct career tracks within what was previously a single, loosely defined profession. At the same time, the arrival of large language models and the broader AI capability wave has both threatened and created data science roles in equal measure. Some of the work that junior data scientists spent their early careers doing — data cleaning, exploratory analysis, basic model building — is being partially automated by AI tooling. But the demand for practitioners who can evaluate AI systems rigorously, apply statistical thinking to complex business problems, and build the data foundations on which AI depends has grown considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what data scientists are expected to build and know, and how to position a data science career that will remain valuable as the field continues to evolve around them. This article breaks down what the UK data science jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
