£70,000 + car allowance. Flexible Location | Hybrid working with frequent travel to Banbury required.


Let’s start with the obvious: if you love data purely for the sake of data, this probably isn’t for you.


But if you enjoy taking messy complicated information, pulling it apart and making sense of it (and then explaining why it matters to people who don’t speak SQL for fun) keep reading.


The role

This is a senior, business‑facing data role with real influence. You’ll sit at the intersection of data, technology and decision‑making, turning raw numbers into insight that shapes strategy, operations and profitability. You won’t just be asked to build reports; you’ll be asked what the data is really telling us.


You’ll work closely with stakeholders across the business, getting under the skin of their challenges, translating requirements into analytical solutions and delivering insight people can actually use. In short: you’ll help build a more data‑driven organisation.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Manipulating and analysing complex datasets, turning them into clear, useful insight
  • Designing and maintaining dashboards and automated reports (Power BI / Tableau)
  • Writing advanced SQL queries: this is core to the role (5+ years’ experience expected)
  • Using Python for deeper analysis, automation and problem‑solving
  • Working closely with technical teams to ensure data models are robust and reliable
  • Sitting down with stakeholders, asking the right questions and understanding what they really need
  • Translating complex findings into clear recommendations for non‑technical audiences
  • Acting as a trusted data advisor across the business
  • Helping set standards, best practice and direction for analytics as the function grows

What You’ll Bring

  • Strong experience as a Data Analyst or Senior Data Analyst
  • Deep SQL expertise (this is non‑negotiable)
  • Experience with Power BI and/or Tableau
  • Python experience for analysis and automation
  • A solid understanding of data modelling and how data supports business logic
  • Confidence working directly with stakeholders, you can explain the “why”, not just the “what”
  • The ability to balance technical depth with commercial thinking
  • A collaborative mindset, you enjoy working with the business, not in a silo

The good stuff

  • £70,000 salary + Car allowance (£5,610)
  • A senior position with real autonomy and visibility
  • The chance to shape how data is used across the organisation
  • A culture built around doing the right thing, working together, trusting each other and always trying to be better
  • Private healthcare for you and your family
  • Company pension scheme
  • Flexible benefits (gym membership, tech, health assessments and more)
  • Access to an online wellbeing centre
  • Discounts with a wide range of retailers
  • 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, increasing with service, with buy/sell options
  • Electric Vehicle / Plug‑in Hybrid Vehicle scheme

Data Science Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data science in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re far from alone. Across the UK, businesses are investing in data science talent to turn data into insight, support better decisions and unlock competitive advantage. But with all the hype about machine learning, Python, AI and data unicorns, it can be hard to separate real opportunities from noise. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on data science careers for mid-life career switchers — what roles really exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining typically takes, what UK recruiters actually look for and how to craft a compelling career pivot story. Whether you come from finance, marketing, operations, research, project management or another field entirely, there are meaningful pathways into data science — and age itself is not the barrier many people fear.

How to Write a Data Science Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data science plays a critical role in how organisations across the UK make decisions, build products and gain competitive advantage. From forecasting and personalisation to risk modelling and experimentation, data scientists help translate data into insight and action. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data science candidates. Job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the mix of analytical skill, business understanding and communication ability the role actually requires. At the same time, experienced data scientists skip over adverts that feel vague, inflated or misaligned with real data science work. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data scientists are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and immature data practices. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data science job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a strong data employer.

Maths for Data Science Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data science jobs in the UK, the maths can feel like a moving target. Job descriptions say “strong statistical knowledge” or “solid ML fundamentals” but they rarely tell you which topics you will actually use day to day. Here’s the truth: most UK data science roles do not require advanced pure maths. What they do require is confidence with a tight set of practical topics that come up repeatedly in modelling, experimentation, forecasting, evaluation, stakeholder comms & decision-making. This guide focuses on the only maths most data scientists keep using: Statistics for decision making (confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power, uncertainty) Probability for real-world data (base rates, noise, sampling, Bayesian intuition) Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Calculus & gradients (enough to understand optimisation & backprop) Optimisation & model evaluation (loss functions, cross-validation, metrics, thresholds) You’ll also get a 6-week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.
