Join us in making a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace.


If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.


This Business Intelligence Partner position (12 month FTC) is central to how we support the business giving you the chance to build strong relationships and help shape the BI products our colleagues rely on every day.


Are you confident communicating with people, good at turning conversations into clear plans and interested in working closely with both business teams and developers?Well, if you are, read on.


Due to ongoing growth within Severn Trent and our Business Intelligence team, we’re looking to recruit a Business Intelligence Partner.


As the BI Partner, you will be the first point of contact for reporting and data requests in your aligned business area. You’ll work directly with stakeholders to understand what they need, capture clear requirements and translate those into structured specifications for our developers. Sometimes this will be simple. Other times you’ll explore processes in more detail.


Your role is all about building strong working relationships. You’ll be trusted to guide stakeholders through what’s possible, support them with the reporting they already have, and make sure their new requests are captured properly, prioritised fairly and progressed in the right way. You’ll use light triage and a prioritisation matrix to ensure our team focuses on work that delivers real value.

That’s why, we value in-person moments to keep our culture alive but also understand the flexibility working from home can bring. So, you'll usually find us in the office, but working from home is supported, when you need it.


WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’ll look for you to be a clear communicator, confident working with a range of people and comfortable breaking a problem down into structured, practical steps. You don’t need deep technical knowledge, we’ll train you, but you do need curiosity, organisation and the ability to move between conversations, requirements and prioritisation calmly and professionally.


If you enjoy working with people, bringing clarity to complex requests, and helping shape BI products that support thousands of colleagues, we’d love to hear from you.


Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and the ability to be a caring attitude matter too. We welcome and celebrate diverse individuals, knowing they help us better serve our communities. We seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.

Summary: UK data science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise rigorous problem framing, high‑quality analytics & modelling, experiment/causality, production awareness (MLOps), governance/ethics, and measurable product or commercial impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for product/data scientists, applied ML scientists, decision scientists, econometricians, growth/marketing analysts, and ML‑adjacent data scientists supporting LLM/AI products. Who this is for: Product/decision/data scientists, applied ML scientists, econometrics & causal inference specialists, experimentation leads, analytics engineers crossing into DS, ML generalists with strong statistics, and data scientists collaborating with platform/MLOps teams in the UK.

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.

Data Science Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Science Department

Data science is one of the most in-demand, dynamic, and multidisciplinary areas in the UK tech and business landscape. Organisations from finance, retail, health, government, and beyond are using data to drive decisions, automate processes, personalise services, predict trends, detect fraud, and more. To do that well, companies don’t just need good data scientists; they need teams with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, workflows, collaboration, and governance. If you're aiming for a role in data science or recruiting for one, understanding the structure of a data science department—and who does what—can make all the difference. This article breaks down the key roles, how they interact across the lifecycle of a data science project, what skills and qualifications are typical in the UK, expected salary ranges, challenges, trends, and how to build or grow an effective team.
