We're hiring a Head of Data & BI to take full ownership of an established but evolving data function within a growing, commercially driven business.

This is a hands-on leadership role, not a pure strategy position. You'll operate as a player-manager, leading a small team while remaining close to the tech, delivery, and stakeholders.

The environment is already strong, with a well-regarded Power BI estate, but now needs someone who can bring structure, prioritisation, and commercial impact.

Strong Power BI expertise (core to the environment)

Solid experience with Azure, SQL, and ideally Python

Proven ability to lead small teams while staying hands-on

Experience working closely with senior stakeholders

Ability to prioritise workload and align data to business needs

Role overview

You'll take ownership of a split data platform, including a large Power BI estate and a partially outsourced data warehouse.

This role exists to bring:

Clear ownership and direction

Better stakeholder engagement and prioritisation

Stronger focus on delivery and business outcomesYou'll also act as a Data Product Owner, ensuring the team is solving the right problems, not just responding to requests.

Key focus areas

Own and evolve the end-to-end BI & data platform

Lead a small team while remaining hands-on in delivery

Drive data-led decision making across the business

Improve stakeholder engagement and demand management

Ensure reliable reporting, including business-critical financial data

Support and shape a future Microsoft Fabric migration

Balance BAU support with ongoing platform improvements

Why join?

Full autonomy to shape the data function

Broad role across BI, engineering, and product ownership

Opportunity to drive real commercial value from data

Work on high-impact, business-critical use cases

A platform with strong foundations but huge scope to improve

If you're a hands-on data leader who enjoys owning problems, delivering solutions, and working closely with the business, apply now with a CV to Dominic Brown on

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.

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.
