  • Use Customer Data Platform (CDP) and Multi-Channel Orchestration (MCO) tools to derive analysis and insights on customer segmentation, behaviours and marketing campaign performance.
  • Develop and manage a centralised tag management library, ensuring alignment and consistency of tagging across the apps to enable reporting.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to scope, prioritise and manage new and ongoing requests and identify opportunities for new initiatives and continuous improvement.
  • Govern the dashboard and reporting landscape within Commercial and Marketing, ensuring alignment to the data operating model and governance framework.
  • Promote and embed self-service across the organisation, including handover of dashboards and reports via training and sharing best practices.
  • Stay up to date with best practices and latest trends.
  • Execute additional tasks as required to meet The FA's changing priorities.
  • Comply with all company policies and procedures to maintain high standards of health, safety and well-being.
  • As part of The FA's commitment to a safe environment, every employee will be required to complete a DBS check. The level of the check will be based on the activity of the specific role and in line with legislation and government guidance.

What are we looking for?

  • Proven experience in delivering end-to-end commercial and marketing analytics.
  • Proven track record in driving actionable insights from complex datasets.
  • Strong understanding of digital marketing analytics, attribution, segmentation and customer journeys.
  • Strong knowledge and experience in using Power BI, product analytics tools and trackers such as Google Analytics, Hotjar and SDK event tracking across CDP and MCO tooling.
  • Excellent communication, collaboration and presentation skills.
  • Excellent attention to detail.
  • Good understanding of SQL, data modelling, data warehousing, data mining and data science.
  • Ability to proactively identify and deliver cross-functional opportunities.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

Data Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

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.

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.
