We are recruiting for aSenior Data Analyst on behalf of an award-winning Lloyd's Syndicate.

The successful candidate must have experience working in a Lloyd's syndicate, managing agent, London Market broker or specialty (re)insurer.

You will help the team through its shift from platform delivery toward value-added analytics and commercial insight. They will support the Data Analytics Manager by applying and role-modelling technical standards, contributing to complex analysis, and introducing new techniques including the practical application of AI tools within the analytics workflow.

Key Responsibilities

  • Acting as the senior analytics business partner to one or more underwriting classes, proactively identifying where analytics can improve pricing, portfolio steering, renewal decisions and exposure management.
  • Translating open-ended commercial questions into well-scoped analyses and dashboard requirements, and collaborating with the wider business to identify opportunities for automation and operational efficiency gains.
  • Identifying and applying practical AI tooling within the analytics workflow, including LLMs, agentic tools and code-generation assistants, with a pragmatic view on where they add genuine value.
  • Embedding the team's development lifecycle for BI and analytics assets, including robust source-control practices for Power BI content (PBIP / TMDL format, Git-backed repositories, feature branches, pull requests and meaningful commit history), and contributing to workspace governance across Dev / Test / Prod environments.
  • Coaching analysts and BI developers on SQL, DAX, data modelling, visual design and engineering hygiene.
  • Working closely with Data Engineering on changes to the semantic and curated layer and data marts.
  • Delivering complex analytics workstreams end-to-end, and working within an Agile framework to break down requirements into epics and user stories, contribute to backlog prioritisation and provide realistic estimates.

Key Requirements

Essential

  • 5+ years' experience in a data analytics or BI role, with at least 2 to 3 years in a Lloyd's syndicate, managing agent, London Market broker or specialty (re)insurer.
  • Advanced SQL, including query optimisation and working with the Azure data stack (Data Factory, Synapse / Fabric, SQL-based semantic layers).
  • Advanced Power BI: data modelling (star schemas), advanced DAX, Power Query / M, performance tuning, RLS and deployment via pipelines.
  • A strong understanding of Power BI engineering discipline: PBIP / TMDL source format, Git-based version control, pull-request review and structured release processes, with demonstrable experience in a team setting.
  • Proven ability to carry out peer review and QA of analytics work, spotting model errors, DAX issues, performance problems and UX weaknesses.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including presenting to underwriting and senior stakeholders, with a track record of turning ambiguous business problems into delivered analytical outcomes.

Desirable

  • Python for data analysis and an appreciation of wider data science techniques, sufficient to collaborate credibly with Data Scientists and Actuarial colleagues.
  • Hands-on experience applying AI and LLM tooling to analytics work (such as Copilot for Power BI / Fabric, MCP-style integrations or agentic assistants).
  • Experience with Microsoft Fabric, dbt, Azure DevOps / GitHub Actions and data-quality tooling.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a forward-thinking analytics function within an established and respected Lloyd's Syndicate, at a genuine inflection point in how data drives underwriting decisions. If you have the technical depth and the commercial curiosity to thrive in this environment, we would be delighted to hear from you.

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.
