We're seeking highly skilled BI Developers with Power BI & Databricks experience, to join a global London Market Insurance Company.

We're looking for a BI Developer who's passionate about turning data into stories that drive results. You'll use your SQL and Power BI expertise to build insightful dashboards and reports, working hand-in-hand with teams across the business. If you're excited to sharpen your skills in a collaborative and fast-paced environment, this is the role for you.

You'll be involved in a major data modernisation and integration programme and have the chance to work in a collaborative, tech-led environment with real investment in BI tools.

The business is already a well established leader within their domain. However, they like to keep team sizes quite small as they want people to have a major say and influence on projects. They are going through an exciting growth period and looking to develop a new, scalable technology platform that will compliment some of their established products.

What you'll be doing:

  • Develop and optimise SQL scripts, stored procedures and data models in Azure
  • Build and maintain interactive Power BI dashboards and reports
  • Collaborate with Product and ETL teams to ensure data accuracy and alignment
  • Support the build-out of a shared data warehouse and self-service reporting environment

What you'll bring:

  • 3+ years' experience in BI development using SQL, Power BI and Databricks.
  • Strong understanding of DAX, data warehousing and data modelling principles
  • Background in insurance or other financial data environments preferred
  • Strong communicator able to translate business needs into technical solutions

This BI Developer is paying an annual salary up to £70,000 and will include 25 days core annual leave, and you can buy up to 5 days. Pension is up to 14%, Private Medical & Dental cover for yourself and Family members / dependants can be added. There is a Flex Fund: £1,000, Electric Car Scheme, Study Support, Season Ticket Loan and multiple volunteering days.

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.
