Ashley Kate HR & Finance are partnering with a growing business to recruit a Finance BI Analyst as part of an exciting transformation in how data is used across the organisation.


This role sits at the heart of a shift from manual, spreadsheet-driven reporting to a more automated, insight-led approach. You'll play a key role in shaping how financial data is structured, visualised, and delivered, helping the business move towards a single, reliable view of performance.


Working closely with both Finance and IT, you'll act as the bridge between technical and commercial teams, turning complex requirements into clear, user-friendly reporting solutions.


Key responsibilities include:



  • Acting as the link between Finance and IT to ensure reporting needs are clearly defined and delivered
  • Translating business requirements into technical specifications and data solutions
  • Designing and developing dashboards and reports in Power BI
  • Maintaining and improving data models to ensure accuracy and consistency
  • Driving improvements in reporting automation, efficiency, and insight
  • Supporting testing and rollout of system and reporting enhancements
  • Contributing to a more standardised, joined-up data environment

We're looking for someone with strong Power BI expertise and a solid understanding of financial processes, who can bring data to life through clear, visual storytelling. You'll be comfortable working with stakeholders across the business and confident communicating complex information in a simple, meaningful way.


Experience within FMCG or manufacturing is highly beneficial, particularly with exposure to SKU-level analysis, costing, and performance drivers. Familiarity with ERP systems and how data flows into reporting tools is important.


In return, you'll receive a competitive salary, bonus, and car allowance, alongside a strong benefits package and the opportunity to play a key role in a business-wide data transformation.

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.
