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)

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.
