Lead Data Engineer (Snowflake)

BI Analyst / BI Developer


SQL sharp-shooter?

Know your way around Power BI and can turn raw data into real impact?

Let’s talk.


We’re looking for a BI Analyst / Developer to join a growing business that’s smashing it year after year — doubling turnover, growing teams, and levelling up their tech.


Based in Manchester (with hybrid flexibility), this is a chance to get stuck into meaningful work, not just crunch numbers.


You’ll be working closely with the Data Manager and key business users to build slick, user-friendly reports thatactuallyhelp people do their jobs better. Think paginated reports that give teams exactly what they need, when they need it — with clarity and precision.


You’ll need solid SQL skills (queries + stored procedures), and experience with SSRS report building. Power BI is also part of the mix, so any dashboards or visualisation experience is a bonus.


What you'll be working with:

• SQL — writing, optimising, and making it sing

• SSRS — building paginated reports that people love using

• Power BI — dashboarding and data storytelling

• Excel or QlikView — nice to have, but not essential


This is a role where you’re not just sat behind a screen — you’ll be talking to people across the business, understanding what they need, and turning that into clean, useful, easy-to-digest data. You’ll have a voice, space to bring ideas, and be part of shaping how the team works.


What’s in it for you?

• Up to £50,000 salary

• Pension

• Hybrid working (Manchester HQ) - More remote than onsite

• A down-to-earth, supportive team


If you’re looking for a BI role where you can grow, be heard, and make a real difference — drop us your CV and let’s chat.

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.
