Do you want to work on cutting edge projects in the Financial Services space?


Do you want to work for a fast-growing Tech Consultancy?


Do you want to keep reading this advert?


If the answer to the above (especially the 3rd point!) is a resounding 'yes', then I'd advise reading on...


Your Remote Tech Recruiter is exclusively engaged with a scaling Tech Consultancy who are looking to recruit Data Modellers into one of their largest (and long-term) client programs in Birmingham.


They're a global organisation (operate across the US, UK, Europe and Asia), with a focus on delivering end-to-end digital transformation projects across a range of industries including Retail, Financial Services, Healthcare and Life Sciences (with this role purely focused on the Financial Services space).


They've got a genuinely great culture, with a commitment to DE&I, and they've been a certified 'Great Place to Work' for multiple years (consecutively I might add!). Moreover, they operate an 'employee first' mindset with tailored career development, varied company benefits and flexible working being some of the many perks of working for them.


In terms of the role, as a Data Modeller you'll be tasked with analysing large collections of Financial Services and Banking data, using it to build data models. You'll also be working alongside various stakeholders and departments, acting as a conduit between the IT teams and the wider business.


The work is complex, the tech is cool, and they're looking for applicants with experience of some (not necessarily all) of the following:



  • Strong hands-on commercial experience in SQL
  • Experience working in the Financial Services space
  • Experience using any of the following Data Modelling tools: Erwin, SAP Power Designer, IBM InfoSphere, MS Visio, Toad etc.
  • Wider experience working with RDBMS including MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL etc.
  • Some experience working in an Agile environment


Moreover, due to this organisation being a Consultancy, strong communication skills (i.e. the ability to talk to stakeholders about complex technical concepts) is key, as your role will be client-facing.


In return, you'll get the following:



  • Base salary ranging from £50,000 - £80,000 (depending on experience)
  • Bonus of up to 10% (performance-based)
  • Life insurance and income protection
  • Holiday allowance of 25 days (plus 8 bank holidays)
  • Enhanced maternity/paternity pay
  • Free employee Udemy account
  • Range of additional perks including 'cycle to work' schemes, expensed training and a travel loan scheme.


In order to apply, all you need to do is submit a CV (it doesn't have to be fully up to date) by clicking 'Apply' or 'Submit' on the relevant job board.


Alternatively, feel free to email me at and I'll happily answer any of your questions.


Finally, this company doesn't offer visa sponsorship so applicants who don't hold a valid 'Right to Work' in the UK won't be considered.

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.
