We're at the start of our journey in aiming to be best in class/number one in terms of data, so we were looking for someone who stays informed of the latest Microsoft data and reporting technologies to help us continuously improve our data solutions, someone who will grow with us as aim as high as possible.
We operate hybrid working practices, with a typical week split between time in the office and home working.

Work with Microsoft Azure Technologies (e.g., Data Factory, Databricks, Synapse) to orchestrate data loading and workflows and manage data pipelines.
Maintain, support, and build data warehouses using Azure SQL Technologies
Collaborate with analysts, and business stakeholders to understand data requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
Developing and implementing data validation and reconciliation processes to ensure data quality and consistency across the data platforms.
Troubleshooting and resolving issues related to data transformation, data loading, and data quality, while proactively identifying opportunities for process optimisation and performance tuning.
Contribute to the development, support and maintenance of reports and dashboards using Power BI.
Troubleshoot and resolve data-related issues and provide support for data-related projects.
Innovate on existing solutions and look to help maximise efficiency in the platform.

Skills and Experience
The successful candidate is likely to hold a bachelors degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field, and have significant practical experience within Professional Services environment. Other attributes should include:
Good understanding of SQL and relational databases. These are the key assets within our organisation.
Familiarity with Microsoft Azure services (e.g., Azure SQL, Azure Synapse, Azure Databrick

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.

Neurodiversity in Data Science Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Data science is all about turning messy, real-world information into decisions, products & insights. It sits at the crossroads of maths, coding, business & communication – which means it needs people who see patterns, ask unusual questions & challenge assumptions. That makes data science a natural fit for many neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & thinking about a data science career, you might have heard comments like “you’re too distracted for complex analysis”, “too literal for stakeholder work” or “too disorganised for large projects”. In reality, the same traits that can make traditional environments difficult often line up beautifully with data science work. This guide is written for data science job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a data science context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common data science roles Practical workplace adjustments you can request under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in data science – & how to turn “different thinking” into a real career advantage.

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.
