Collaboration and trust are at the heart of how we work, and we’re proud to foster a remote-first culture where your ideas and contributions are truly valued.

🧩 Your Role
As a Senior Data Analyst, you’ll work hand-in-hand with Data Engineers and their Development Lead to design and build powerful data models, insightful dashboards, and business-focused analytics.
This role goes beyond crunching numbers — you’ll be embedded in our client teams, helping define requirements, shape strategy, and deliver meaningful insights.

You’ll be responsible for:

Building and maintaining semantic data models in Looker/LookML that support scalable, reusable business logic.
Writing clean, high-performance SQL to support data transformation and reporting.
Working closely with Data Engineers to ensure smooth data pipeline operations and integrations.
Translating business needs into technical solutions that deliver real value.
Supporting dashboard creation and analytics tools to provide clear, actionable insights.
Promoting data quality, governance, and best practices in all things analytics.

✅ What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who combines technical depth with strong communication, and who thrives in a collaborative, remote working environment.
Must-haves:

Strong experience with Looker and deep understanding of LookML (especially semantic modelling)
Excellent SQL skills — you’re comfortable working with complex queries and large datasets
Experience working in a cloud-based environment (ideally GCP, but AWS/Azure experience also valued)
A proactive, problem-solving mindset and the ability to work independently
Previous experience collaborating with cross-functional technical teams (e.g. engineers, developers)

🎁 What You’ll Get in Return

We believe in creating a workplace that rewards hard work, supports personal growth, and respects your time.
Here’s what’s on offer:

💸 Up to £50,000 salary, depending on experience
🗓️ 4-day work week after a successful probation period — more time for life outside of work!

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Data Science: Embracing the Next Frontier

Data science has undergone a staggering transformation in the past decade, evolving from a niche academic discipline into a linchpin of modern industry. Across every sector—finance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing—data scientists have become indispensable, leveraging statistical methods and machine learning to turn raw information into actionable insights. Yet as datasets grow ever larger and machine learning models become more computationally expensive, there are genuine questions about how far current methods can be pushed. Enter quantum computing, a nascent but promising technology grounded in the counterintuitive principles of quantum mechanics. Often dismissed just a few years ago as purely experimental, quantum computing is quickly gaining traction as prototypes evolve into cloud-accessible machines. When paired with artificial intelligence—particularly in the realm of data science—the results could be game-changing. From faster model training and complex optimisation to entirely new forms of data analysis, quantum-enhanced AI stands poised to disrupt established practices and create new opportunities. In this article, we will: Explore how data science has reached its current limits in certain areas, and why classical hardware might no longer suffice. Provide an accessible overview of quantum computing concepts and how they differ from classical systems. Examine the potential of quantum-enhanced AI to solve key data science challenges, from data wrangling to advanced machine learning. Highlight real-world applications, emerging job roles, and the skills you need to thrive in this new landscape. Offer actionable steps for data professionals eager to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving field. Whether you’re a practising data scientist, a student weighing up your future specialisations, or an executive curious about the next technological leap, read on. The quantum era may be closer than you think, and it promises to radically transform the very fabric of data science.
