Data Migration Analyst/Engineer/Specialist (AX → Dynamics 365 F&O/CE)
Brief:
Global MS Dynamics 365 program requires an experienced data migration analyst to help drive forward the migration activities from existing AX systems in GB and Europe. Reporting to the Data Migration Lead for the program we need a hands‑on approach to work with the current team who have started the migration work. We are heading towards multiple go live dates and so this role is designed for someone who thrives in high‑pressure, detail‑heavy environments and can operate as an extension of both the technical migration team and the business.
Key Responsibilities

  • Error Analysis/Resolution including error corrections for F&O, Supply Chain and CE
  • Data Validation/ Quality Assurance including performance checks and corrective action
  • Business Support translating technical needs/issues into clear business language
  • Cross‑Functional working acting as a bridge between technical and business teams
    Required Skills & Experience
  • Demonstrable experience with Dynamics AX and/or Dynamics 365 F&O/CE
  • Data Management framework, entities, staging tables and import/export processes
  • Excellent problem‑solving skills with a structured approach to root‑cause analysis
  • Ability to quickly interpret data patterns/identify anomalies
  • Experience in supporting business teams during ERP transitions or UAT cycles.
  • Proactive and comfortable working independently with strong communication skills
    This requires experience of least one ERP migration project with AX → D365 F&O and CE (please do not apply if you do not have ERP experience) being a major plus and the ability to show consultative and technical experience working across a multi site organisation.
    The role is an initial six month contract, is hybrid and while mainly remote, will require travel to company offices on a as and when basis, mainly near Cambridge with some possible minor travel to Belgium and Holland (expenses will be covered)

Data Science Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data science in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re far from alone. Across the UK, businesses are investing in data science talent to turn data into insight, support better decisions and unlock competitive advantage. But with all the hype about machine learning, Python, AI and data unicorns, it can be hard to separate real opportunities from noise. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on data science careers for mid-life career switchers — what roles really exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining typically takes, what UK recruiters actually look for and how to craft a compelling career pivot story. Whether you come from finance, marketing, operations, research, project management or another field entirely, there are meaningful pathways into data science — and age itself is not the barrier many people fear.

How to Write a Data Science Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data science plays a critical role in how organisations across the UK make decisions, build products and gain competitive advantage. From forecasting and personalisation to risk modelling and experimentation, data scientists help translate data into insight and action. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data science candidates. Job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the mix of analytical skill, business understanding and communication ability the role actually requires. At the same time, experienced data scientists skip over adverts that feel vague, inflated or misaligned with real data science work. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data scientists are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and immature data practices. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data science job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a strong data employer.

Maths for Data Science Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data science jobs in the UK, the maths can feel like a moving target. Job descriptions say “strong statistical knowledge” or “solid ML fundamentals” but they rarely tell you which topics you will actually use day to day. Here’s the truth: most UK data science roles do not require advanced pure maths. What they do require is confidence with a tight set of practical topics that come up repeatedly in modelling, experimentation, forecasting, evaluation, stakeholder comms & decision-making. This guide focuses on the only maths most data scientists keep using: Statistics for decision making (confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power, uncertainty) Probability for real-world data (base rates, noise, sampling, Bayesian intuition) Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Calculus & gradients (enough to understand optimisation & backprop) Optimisation & model evaluation (loss functions, cross-validation, metrics, thresholds) You’ll also get a 6-week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.
