Join to apply for the IT Data Engineer role at Blake Morgan LLP


Head of Resourcing | Talent Acquisition Lead @ Blake Morgan LLP

We have a new opportunity for an IT Data Engineer to join our existing team as part of a new phase of expansion. Whilst we're looking for individuals with previous experience working for a Professional Services organisation, as a medium sized business we operate with a much smaller, multi‑skilled IT Team than you will find at larger enterprise companies. Although the role is primarily an IT Data Engineer, you will also need to be able to display BI Developer and strong analytical skills and play a crucial role in designing, building, and maintaining our data pipelines using Microsoft Azure tools and platforms, as well as presenting information to the end‑user.


The work itself is structured around project and business support tasks, where we use business feedback to help drive innovation and growth of our solutions.


You will need to be able to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a small team that is constantly seeking to improve and provide great solutions. Good entrepreneurial skills along with an ability to spot solutions to business problems will always be encouraged.


This is an opportunity to make a real difference in the law space, in terms of innovations around data and data‑driven solutions. We're at the start of our journey in aiming to be best in class/number one in terms of data, so we’re 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 high as possible.


We operate hybrid working practices, with a typical week split between time in the office and home working.


Key Responsibilities

  • 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 bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, and have significant practical experience within a 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 Databrik)
  • Understanding of data warehousing concepts and data architecture.
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
  • Eagerness to learn and adapt to new technologies and methodologies.

Join us in our vision to unlock the power of data and drive innovation through seamless data. If you are passionate about leveraging cutting‑edge technologies to solve complex data challenges and have a solid foundation in the Microsoft data stack, we encourage you to apply!

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.

Data Science Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Science Department

Data science is one of the most in-demand, dynamic, and multidisciplinary areas in the UK tech and business landscape. Organisations from finance, retail, health, government, and beyond are using data to drive decisions, automate processes, personalise services, predict trends, detect fraud, and more. To do that well, companies don’t just need good data scientists; they need teams with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, workflows, collaboration, and governance. 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.
