We're partnering with a growing professional services firm to appoint a technically strong, commercially focusedFinance Business Partner. This is a high-impact role working directly with fee earners, where you'll play a critical part inpricing, tendering, and financial modelling for new business.

This role is particularly well suited to someone making afirst or second move from a Big 4 environment, looking to step into a more commercial, forward-looking position with real influence over business decisions.

This is not a traditional finance role. We're looking for someone who is equally comfortable partnering with stakeholders as they arewriting code, building models, and manipulating data to drive better decisions.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Build robustfinancial models to assess profitability, scenario planning, and commercial risk
  • Write and utiliseSQL (or similar) to extract and manipulate large, complex datasets
  • Develop data models and dashboards using tools such asTableau to deliver actionable insight
  • Take a hands-on approach todata manipulation, automation, and model building
  • Identify and deliverprocess improvements, including automation and implementation of new tools
  • Act as a translator between data and business strategy, influencing decision-making

What We're Looking For:

  • ACA / CA / equivalent qualified, ideally trained within aBig 4 or leading practice environment
  • Strong grounding infinancial analysis, modelling, and working with large datasets
  • Experience withcoding / scripting (e.g. SQL, Python, or similar) and a genuine interest in data
  • Advanced data manipulation skills - comfortable working with complex, and sometimes imperfect, datasets
  • Experience withTableau or similar BI tools
  • A desire to move beyond reporting into acommercial, business-facing role
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to influence and challenge senior stakeholders

Why Apply?

  • Ideal move for someone transitioning fromBig 4 into industry, offering real commercial exposure
  • A genuinelydata-driven finance role, not just reporting
  • High visibility with senior stakeholders and direct impact on revenue generation
  • Opportunity to shape and improvemodelling, pricing, and data capabilities
  • A business investing in technology, automation and better ways of working

If you're coming from apractice background and want to apply your technical and analytical skillset in a more dynamic, commercially focused environment, this is an opportunity to step into a role with real impact.

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.
