The Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and talented Head of Business Intelligence to join our team based in Stratford, London (E20).

As Head of BI, you will lead the development of a scalable, reliable BI function that powers decision-making across the business. This is a hands-on leadership role - you’ll balance ownership of our BI foundations with coaching a small, growing team of analysts. From maintaining our data foundations to driving analytical excellence, your remit covers the full BI lifecycle: infrastructure, tooling, governance, reporting, and operational insight.

You’ll manage a growing team of BI Analysts across Operations and Client analytics - ensuring high-quality output, clarity of priorities, and consistent, unified reporting across functions.

How to make an impact
  • Lead the development of a reliable, scalable BI foundation by owning our Snowflake environment, data models, and ELT pipelines, ensuring the business operates from a single source of truth.
  • Take a hands-on approach to modelling, ELT optimisation and dashboard development where needed, ensuring the team delivers consistently high-quality output.
  • Manage and develop the BI Analysts across Operations and Client analytics, setting priorities, ensuring consistency of output, and raising the standard of analysis across the team.
  • Partner with operational and commercial teams to deliver the analytics and reporting that drive performance, service quality and product usage.
  • Build and maintain clear, accurate dashboards in Tableau that give leadership visibility of operational, commercial and product performance.
  • Own our external client dashboards and reporting needs in Sisense, ensuring clients receive accurate, insightful and market-leading reporting.
  • Strengthen data governance by improving data definitions, documentation and data quality across the organisation.
About you
  • Strong experience designing and maintaining scalable data models within a cloud data warehouse environment (ideally Snowflake), with a solid understanding of optimisation and governance best practices.
  • Familiarity with Kleene or similar ELT tools, with the ability to support and optimise data pipelines.
  • Expertise designing high-quality dashboards in both Tableau (internal analytics) and Sisense (external dashboards) or similar BI tools.
  • Understanding of marketplace or multi-sided platform dynamics, particularly supply and demand performance.
Your background
  • 6+ years’ experience in BI or data analytics within a tech-driven or high-growth environment.
  • Experience owning and scaling data platforms, ideally in an environment without a dedicated data engineering team, including Snowflake, ELT pipelines, data modelling and data governance.
  • Proven experience leading and developing analysts - setting priorities, managing workload, coaching growth, and raising the quality and consistency of analytical output.
  • Proactive, strategic mindset - able to challenge assumptions, hold teams to account, surface risks and opportunities early, and ensure decisions across the business are grounded in clear, reliable data.
  • Strong SQL skills and hands-on analytical capability.
  • Confident with modern BI tooling, ideally Tableau, with experience creating high-quality dashboards and performance reporting.
  • Comfortable partnering with commercial and operational teams to drive clarity, alignment and improved performance.
  • Excellent communication skills, able to turn complex analysis into clear, actionable insight.
  • Thrives in a fast-moving environment with shifting priorities.

This is a hybrid role based in our offices in Stratford, London E20, 3 days per week, the other 2 days from home.

Data Science Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data science in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re far from alone. Across the UK, businesses are investing in data science talent to turn data into insight, support better decisions and unlock competitive advantage. But with all the hype about machine learning, Python, AI and data unicorns, it can be hard to separate real opportunities from noise. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on data science careers for mid-life career switchers — what roles really exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining typically takes, what UK recruiters actually look for and how to craft a compelling career pivot story. Whether you come from finance, marketing, operations, research, project management or another field entirely, there are meaningful pathways into data science — and age itself is not the barrier many people fear.

How to Write a Data Science Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data science plays a critical role in how organisations across the UK make decisions, build products and gain competitive advantage. From forecasting and personalisation to risk modelling and experimentation, data scientists help translate data into insight and action. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data science candidates. Job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the mix of analytical skill, business understanding and communication ability the role actually requires. At the same time, experienced data scientists skip over adverts that feel vague, inflated or misaligned with real data science work. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data scientists are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and immature data practices. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data science job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a strong data employer.

Maths for Data Science Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data science jobs in the UK, the maths can feel like a moving target. Job descriptions say “strong statistical knowledge” or “solid ML fundamentals” but they rarely tell you which topics you will actually use day to day. Here’s the truth: most UK data science roles do not require advanced pure maths. What they do require is confidence with a tight set of practical topics that come up repeatedly in modelling, experimentation, forecasting, evaluation, stakeholder comms & decision-making. This guide focuses on the only maths most data scientists keep using: Statistics for decision making (confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power, uncertainty) Probability for real-world data (base rates, noise, sampling, Bayesian intuition) Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Calculus & gradients (enough to understand optimisation & backprop) Optimisation & model evaluation (loss functions, cross-validation, metrics, thresholds) You’ll also get a 6-week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.
