  • Own the ongoing maintenance, enhancement, and troubleshooting of dashboards once live, ensuring long-term value and stability.
  • Act as a bridge between client stakeholders, internal data teams, and external development partners.
  • Define and enforce reporting standards and best practices to drive excellence in dashboard design and data governance.
  • Mentor junior analysts and Power BI developers, both in-house and offshore, to ensure high-quality delivery and upskilling across the team.
  • Proactively identify opportunities to evolve dashboards in line with changing business needs or media strategies.
Ideal Candidate

  • Advanced expertise in Power BI, DAX, Power Query, and building efficient, user-friendly data models.
  • Experience working with offshore/global development teams, with strong project coordination and quality assurance capabilities.
  • Comfortable taking ownership of end-to-end dashboard lifecycle, including post-launch maintenance and evolution.
  • Strong communication skills — able to simplify complex data for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with media KPIs (e.g. impressions, reach, frequency, CPM) is a strong advantage.
  • Experience working with cloud platforms and data tools such as AWS, Azure, BigQuery, or Snowflake is desirable

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.
