Isio has commenced a data warehouse approach to creating repeatable MI/BI, and we are looking for someone to work with this solution to maintain and enhance it as business needs evolve. This will involve building and maintaining connections to Isio’s systems, ensuring the solution is designed and implemented efficiently, and that reporting can be easily accessed by stakeholders.


The role will report into the System Operations Manager and will work closely with IT and business stakeholders across Isio.

  • Create and maintain ETL processes, data mappings and transformations to orchestrate data integrations.
  • Ensure data integrity, quality, privacy and security across systems, in line with client and regulatory requirements.
  • Optimise data solutions for performance and scalability. Explore new data management and processing techniques, making recommendations where appropriate.
  • Adhere to Isio’s software engineering best practices (technical design, review, unit testing, monitoring & alerting, source code management and documentation).
  • Become a subject matter expert and point of contact on available data within the business.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to understand their data needs and create data models accordingly.
  • Be accountable for ensuring ongoing documentation is held within Confluence and updated regularly.

  • Strong, hands‑on experience of Azure Data Factory for managing and orchestrating ETL processes.
  • Experience with Microsoft Fabric Products.
  • Strong SQL experience, including queries, stored procedures and formal database design methodologies.
  • Experience setting up monitoring and data quality exception handling.
  • Experience managing and developing CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience working with Microsoft Azure products.
  • Experience with APIs to integrate data flows between disparate cloud systems.
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
  • Knowledge and understanding of best‑practice security standards.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to establish credibility and develop effective business relationships.
  • Ability to quickly understand information, business models and requirements.
  • Awareness of regulated environments and experience of data legislation and cyber security accreditations such as GDPR, ISO27001, Cyber Essentials.

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.
