About us

Axiom GRC is a leading Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) SaaS and Services group. Our Enterprise Division, comprising of three Business Units, is seeking a Data Lead to support its long-term growth. The focus for this role will be to support our Vantify business. Through Vantify’s unique compliance ecosystem, we deliver integrated platforms that enhance visibility, increase productivity, and minimise risk. Trusted by leading organisations like Ambassador Theatre Group, CompassRock and CEG, our integrated products cover every aspect of compliance, from risk assessments to supply chain management. When everything works together, you can spend more time on other things that matter to your business. That’s why our products have been designed to integrate with each other, helping you save time, maximise performance and maintain compliance.

About the role

As the Data Lead for our Enterprise Division, you will play a crucial role in shaping and executing the division’s strategy through data. In addition to analysing data, you will work closely with the division’s senior leadership teams to provide strategic insights that drive decision making and enhance operations. You will initially report to the Group Head of Data, with a dotted line to Vantify’s Chief Product Officer. Your work will enhance the division’s data capability and culture, while also driving the prioritisation and execution of key strategic projects on the roadmap.

While there will be Analytics and Data Engineering support, this role requires you to take a hands on approach, contributing both strategically and operationally.

We value attitude as much as aptitude. We're looking for someone who can build data driven solutions from the ground up, adapt to changing business needs and work effectively with diverse stakeholders to integrate these solutions into our broader business strategy and operations.

What you’ll be getting up to


  • Operationalise our existing data assets and champion them throughout the businesses.
  • Coach, mentor and lead the wider user teams, driving continuous improvement and adoption of information-driven decisions.
  • Establish data governance practices ensuring data accuracy, consistency and reliability across divisional systems and our reporting estate
  • Develop high-performance data solutions that produce tangible business value and further enable our data-driven approach using dbt, Snowflake, and Power BI
  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to drive commercial outcomes through data, showcasing a willingness to provide fine-grained reporting to any area of the business


What we're looking for

The ideal candidate for this role will demonstrate behaviours that reflect our core values. Our colleagues are approachable and optimistic, focusing on solutions. We listen to understand client needs, delivering expert guidance and a high-quality service. We foster collaboration by sharing knowledge openly and supporting others to thrive by sharing well-considered feedback. We continuously strive for improvement by being open to challenge, being curious and focusing on innovation. 

In order to excel in this role you need…


  • To know how to do this – you have 4+ years prior experience in a data analytics role with strong data modelling skills and exposure to dbt, Snowflake (or similar cloud data warehouse) and Power BI (or another Visualisation tool)
  • To be self-motivated – you’re resilient and a proactive individual with ability to work independently and drive projects forward
  • To showcase strong communication skills – you can translate technical concepts to non-technical audiences and must be able to confidently communicate to a strategic level
  • Have worked with a similar business – you have experience in SaaS and/or Services businesses with a particular focus on any of: Sales Pipeline Reporting, Product Analytics and Service Delivery Metrics
  • Knowledge of Python or other programming languages, whilst this is not essential, it could be beneficial in this role


Why join us?

We put people first—whether it’s our customers or our colleagues. When you join us, you’ll be part of a supportive team that values collaboration, innovation, and professional growth. We’ll give you the tools and opportunities to succeed, while ensuring you feel valued every step of the way.

Our benefits

We aim to support our colleagues both professionally and personally. Here’s a snapshot of what we offer:


  • Salary: £70,000 - £75,000 per annum
  • Location: Hybrid between working from home and our London office. There will also be occasional travel to divisional offices across the UK
  • Working Pattern: Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm
  • Annual Leave: 25 days holiday in addition to usual bank holidays.
  • Wellbeing – Health cash plan, paid sick leave, gym discounts, cycle to work scheme and an enhanced employee assistance programme
  • Financial – salary sacrifice pension scheme, exclusive discounts and rewards for 1,000s of retailers
  • Family – we enhance statutory entitlements for family leave policies and you’ll be covered under our Group Life Insurance for 3x salary
  • Community – volunteer days and religious holiday swaps
  • Social – we host an annual conference to get the whole business together as well as our team of Social Champions who arrange regular events for inside and outside of work
  • Development – we’ll cover the cost of a professional membership fee, support your personal and professional development and provide you with access to our online learning library

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.
