You can already build in Power BI.

You understand DAX beyond the basics.

You’ve worked with real business data and know accuracy actually matters.

Now you want more ownership and exposure.

That’s this.

This isn’t about building dashboards in isolation. The focus is on working closely with stakeholders, understanding how the business operates, and delivering reporting that actually gets used.

What you’ll actually be doing

* Building and maintaining Power BI dashboards

* Developing and improving DAX measures and calculations

* Delivering BAU and ad hoc reporting across multiple business areas

* Working with stakeholders to understand requirements and translate into reporting

* Analysing data to identify trends, patterns and insight

* Ensuring accuracy, consistency and integrity of reporting

* Handling sensitive data within a regulated environment

* Supporting improvements to reporting and data usage across the business

What they’re looking for

* Experience with Power BI in a commercial environment

* Strong working knowledge of DAX

* Good analytical and problem-solving skills

* High attention to detail and data accuracy

* Ability to communicate with non-technical stakeholders

Why this role is worth a look

* Established data function — not starting from scratch

* Exposure to multiple areas of the business

* Opportunity to take ownership of reporting areas over time

* Clear progression into a more senior analytics role

* Working in an environment where data is business-critical

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

Advertising data science jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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.

This article highlights new and high-growth data science employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK startups, scale-ups, and global firms expanding their data science operations locally.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.
