I am working with a leading organisation operating across multiple brands within the property and legal technology space. They are searching for a Lead Data Analyst to play a pivotal role in shaping how data informs decisions across three well established yet differently matured businesses. This is a rare opportunity to drive an insight led culture across a complex and growing group.

In this role, you will guide how data is used to support product, marketing, and commercial strategy. You will work end to end across the analytics lifecycle, combining hands on analysis with strategic influence. From exploring business needs and identifying opportunities, through to supporting feature development, analysing performance, and communicating insights to senior stakeholders, you will ensure data is turned into meaningful, measurable business impact.

The organisation is looking for someone who brings curiosity, commercial thinking, and proactive problem solving. Someone who not only answers the question but spots the opportunity, shaping the move from descriptive insight to diagnostic and prescriptive intelligence. As the analytics function grows, you will also have the opportunity to grow and develop your own team.


What you will be doing

• Turning complex data into clear and actionable insights that influence product, marketing, and commercial decisions

• Working end to end across analysis: defining questions, exploring data, building models, and presenting conclusions

• Identifying trends, uncovering the drivers behind performance changes, and advising teams on what to do next

• Measuring the success of new product launches, features, and marketing activity, ensuring focus on what delivers real value

• Partnering closely with Product teams to scope opportunities, define success metrics, and evaluate post launch performance

• Supporting marketing analytics including campaign performance, customer acquisition and retention, and engagement analysis

• Delivering insight that enhances the end to end customer journey, improving conversion, satisfaction, and lifetime value


What you will bring

• Over eight years of analytics experience, including at least five years in product, marketing, or customer analytics

• A strong track record influencing senior stakeholders and shaping data driven decisions across multiple teams

• Solid technical capability including SQL and working knowledge of Python or R

• Excellent storytelling ability with the skills to translate complex findings into clear narratives and presentations

• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to connect insight to business performance and growth

• Experience working across different levels of data maturity

• Experience with Google Analytics is desirable

• A passion for clarity, accessibility, and making data meaningful for all stakeholders


If you are a data leader who wants to help shape a forward thinking analytics function and drive tangible business impact across multiple brands, I would love to share more details. Feel free to reach out for an informal chat.

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.

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.
