Help Shape the Future of Broadband in the UK

At BroadbandUK, we help people across the UK find fast, reliable broadband – simply and transparently. We’ve built the UK’s first address-level broadband price comparison tool, developed a speed test used by over one million users, and partnered with brands like Currys, Openreach and The Telegraph.

We’re growing quickly and looking for a Growth (Business Development) & Partnerships Associate to join us on the journey.

If you’re ambitious, adaptable and want to learn fast while making a real impact, this is your opportunity.

Why This Role Matters

Broadband is essential to daily life – for work, entertainment, education and staying connected. Yet many people still struggle to find the right deal or understand what they’re paying for.

BroadbandUK is changing that. We’re a mission-driven startup with momentum, and this role is your chance to:

  • Contribute meaningfully to a fast-growing product and brand

  • Work across partnerships, content, research and product

  • Develop a broad skillset in a hands-on, fast-moving environment

  • Be part of a high-performing, ambitious team

    What You’ll Do

    This is a varied, fast-paced role where you’ll work directly with the founding team across commercial, operational and product initiatives:

  • Manage and support relationships with broadband providers and affiliate partners

  • Help maintain and publish pricing, offer and product data on our platform

  • Ensure data quality and performance accuracy across partner listings

  • Research new partnership opportunities and market trends

  • Contribute to product development through insights and feedback from partners

  • Use tools like Notion, Airtable and Trello to organise work and share updates

  • Support internal processes to ensure deadlines and goals are met

    No two days will be the same. You’ll get exposure to everything from commercial strategy to platform development.

    What We’re Looking For

  • A graduate or early-career professional with strong communication and organisation skills

  • Curious, commercially aware and comfortable working across multiple areas

  • Detail-oriented and confident managing data and content

  • A fast learner who thrives in a dynamic startup environment

  • Strong sense of ownership and personal responsibility

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

    Useful Experience or Skills

  • Familiarity with Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides)

  • Comfortable with Notion, Airtable, Trello or similar workflow tools

  • Some exposure to online platforms, digital content, or performance marketing

  • Bonus: interest or background in consumer technology, broadband or comparison tools

    The Setup

  • Hybrid working – split time between Canary Wharf HQ and remote

  • Competitive salary + performance bonus

  • Potential equity options – help shape the company and share in its success

  • A learning-focused environment with direct access to founders

  • A performance-driven culture that values clarity, accountability and results

    Ready to Build Something That Matters?

    This is more than a job. It’s a chance to help millions of people make better choices about broadband, and to help build a company with lasting impact.

    If that sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you.

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.

Education

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.
