Turn messy, fragmented data into something the business can actually trust.

About the client:

You will be working with a major UK-based organisation that operates across a portfolio of well-known brands, delivering at scale within a complex distribution environment. With deeply integrated ERP and finance systems, the business is now undergoing a significant shift in how it uses data. Following recent system changes, there is a clear focus on modernising reporting and building a more transparent, reliable data landscape that can support future growth.

Project overview:

This programme is focused on rebuilding critical financial reporting that has been disrupted, including complex margin and rebate calculations that sit at the heart of commercial performance. Alongside this, you will help design and deliver scalable data pipelines, transformation logic, and reporting outputs within a modern Azure environment. The work will establish a repeatable blueprint that can be rolled out across multiple business units, playing a key role in the transition away from legacy systems to a clean, future-ready data platform.

What you will be doing:

You will take ownership of building and maintaining robust data pipelines within Azure, working hands-on to deliver reliable, high-performance data solutions. This includes developing workflows in Databricks and or Synapse, and transforming data from a range of sources such as CSV and Excel into clean, usable datasets. A key part of the role will involve translating complex pricing and margin logic into scalable data models, ensuring accuracy and consistency across reporting. You will also focus on improving data quality, validation processes, and overall performance, while supporting the move away from legacy reporting tools. Alongside this, you will contribute to the design of a scalable data architecture that can be leveraged across multiple business units.

Tech environment:

You will be working across a modern Azure stack including Data Lake, Synapse, Databricks, Data Factory, and SQL, with exposure to complex enterprise data environments.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for someone with strong experience across Azure data engineering tools and a proven track record of building ETL or ELT pipelines in production environments. You should have solid SQL and data transformation skills, along with experience handling large and complex datasets.

Equally important is your ability to work closely with analysts and business stakeholders, translating requirements into effective data solutions.

Nice to have:

Experience working with ERP or finance data would be highly beneficial, as would any background in transformation or migration programmes where legacy systems are being modernised.

Contract details: 6 month fixed term contract with potential to extend or move into a permanent role

Salary: Up to £60,000

Location: West Yorkshire\ Hybrid

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.
