This will include supporting historic performance analysis, developing forecasts and models, and presenting conclusions and recommendations that enable leaders to take informed management action.

    You’ll enjoy working collaboratively with stakeholders, building strong relationships and helping others get the most from data and MI. You’ll be organised, detail-focused and able to manage multiple pieces of work in a changing environment, while maintaining high standards of quality and accuracy.

    To be successful in this role, you’ll bring:

  • Experience of data extraction, cleansing and transformation, producing accurate, fit-for-purpose MI and analytical outputs.

  • Strong capability in data analysis, modelling and forecasting, supporting evidence-based decision making.

  • Advanced Excel skills (essential), with experience building models, analysing data and supporting performance reporting.

  • A good understanding of data warehousing, MI and reporting techniques, and how to apply best practice.

  • The ability to gather requirements and translate data into insight, supported by strong stakeholder management, communication and collaboration skills.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

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.
