  • Demonstrable experience in mentoring or guiding junior team members or business stakeholders on data best practice.
  • Experience working with data validation, cleansing and reporting processes.
  • Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with a proven ability to articulate complex findings to both technical and non‑technical audiences, ultimately influencing strategic decision-making at all organisational levels.

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.

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.
