Lead Data Analyst - Grow into Head of Data - UK Remote - £80k

Are you looking for a role where you can actually make an impact? Do you want to work with one of the biggest names in UK film and music?

Venchr are working with the group of companies that surrounds one of the biggest names in UK TV and music to add a Lead Data Analyst to their team to help build a function that allows sensible and strategic business decisions to be made. You'll be integral in analysing and deciphering the data from a number of sources both internal and external to create reports, data visualisations and work with the leadership team to create strategies to ensure a successful future for all facets of the business.

The expectation is that you'll be used to working with data from a number of sources and technologies and be comfortable building reports or visualisations to present back to the team. What technologies you use to do that is entirely up to you, but we'd expect you to pick something sensible.

Data is currently stored in or manipulated using SQL, Google Analytics and Cloud data stores, so if you have experience in a variety of those, that would be a great start

This role is 100% remote but we do need you to be in the UK. The opportunity here is to make a massive impact and scale your capability within an exciting business, all the while growing towards a 'Head of Data' type role.

Please apply today and we will be in touch to discuss the role in more detail.

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.

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.
