An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a global medical device manufacturing organisation that develops, manufactures, and supplies innovative solutions used in applications worldwide.

The business operates across multiple international markets, with manufacturing and R&D facilities spanning Europe, the UK, and further global locations. It has grown significantly in recent years through a combination of organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, resulting in a diverse product portfolio and a complex, multi-system data landscape. With a strong focus on innovation, quality outcomes, and patient safety, data and analytics play a critical role in supporting operational performance and strategic decision-making.

As part of an ongoing transformation programme, the organisation is now seeking a BI & Data Transformation Manager to provide strategic leadership across its enterprise data and analytics capability.

The Role:

* Own and deliver the group-wide Data Warehouse and BI roadmap, ensuring scalability and alignment with business strategy

* Lead the transition to a cloud-based Qlik Sense environment, defining architecture, security, and governance standards

* Oversee data modelling, ETL processes, and integration across multiple business systems including ERP, CRM, and operational platforms

* Manage and optimise the Power BI environment, covering workspace governance, dataset management, and performance optimisation

* Drive BI enhancements by aligning priorities across stakeholders and business units

* Lead requirements-gathering workshops and translate business needs into technical solutions

* Implement and enforce data governance, quality, and compliance standards across the data estate

* Lead, mentor, and develop a BI team, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement

Skills & Experience Needed:

* Proven experience in a BI leadership or data transformation role within a complex or multi-entity environment

* Strong experience in data warehousing, Power BI administration, and Qlik Sense

* Strategic mindset with experience delivering multi-year BI or data roadmaps

* Demonstrable people management experience leading BI or data teams

* Strong stakeholder engagement and requirements analysis capability

* Advanced SQL skills with hands-on experience using ETL tools (ADF, SSIS, Qlik Talend Cloud, or similar)

* Experience working with cloud data platforms such as Azure Synapse or Snowflake

* Ability to balance technical depth with commercial and operational priorities

Desirable:

* Experience integrating ERP systems (IFS, SAP, Oracle, or similar)

* Exposure to data governance frameworks and security compliance

Driven by a commitment to innovation, quality, and measurable outcomes, the organisation offers a collaborative and forward-thinking environment where data underpins critical business decisions. This is a high-impact leadership role with genuine influence across a growing international group.

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
