About My Claim Group

My Claim Group is a fast-growing UK-based company helping customers navigate complex financial and insurance claims. Our success is built on trust, innovation, and data-driven decision-making – and now we're looking to expand our analytics team to support smarter, faster business outcomes.


The Role

As a Senior Data Analyst, you'll be responsible for designing and delivering clear, insightful dashboards and data models that help teams across the organisation understand performance and uncover opportunities. You'll work closely with stakeholders to gather requirements, write and optimise SQL queries, and deliver visualisations that drive real-world action. This role requires someone comfortable working across the full data journey – from querying and wrangling data to crafting polished, user-friendly reports. You'll also gain exposure to Snowflake and have the chance to help shape best practices as we scale.


Key Responsibilities

  • Develop insightful dashboards and visualisations (Power BI preferred, but any strong data visualisation experience considered).
  • Use SQL to manage and analyse large datasets efficiently.
  • Apply your strong understanding of ETL processes to improve data workflows and ensure reliable data pipelines.
  • Perform robust data cleaning and preparation to support high-quality analytics.
  • Tell compelling stories with data – translating complex insights into clear, engaging narratives for a non-technical audience.
  • Work closely with stakeholders to translate business needs into effective reporting and analytical solutions.
  • Guide stakeholders on what data they need and how best to use it.
  • Balance short-term business demands with long-term analytical strategy and sustainability.
  • Apply and explore Data Science and Machine Learning techniques, including segmentation, to enhance insight and discovery.

What We're Looking For

  • Solid SQL skills and comfort working with large, complex datasets.
  • Strong grasp of ETL concepts and data pipeline processes.
  • Proficiency in data cleaning, transformation, and preparation.
  • Excellent communication and data storytelling ability.
  • Ability to collaborate with stakeholders and translate requirements into analytical solutions.
  • Curiosity, proactivity, and the ability to guide others toward the right insight.
  • Exposure to Data Science / Machine Learning techniques is a plus.

What's On Offer

  • Salary up to £65,000, depending on experience.
  • Hybrid working – 2/3 days in the Heald Green office.
  • Company Equipment.
  • Casual Dress Code.
  • Long service gifts to celebrate milestones.
  • Team building activities (games, break room tournaments with prizes).
  • Social events such as Summer BBQs.

Robert Walters Operations Limited is an employment business and employment agency and welcomes applications from all candidates

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.
