Series A eCommerce & Fintech Startup | Hybrid Working (2/3 Days a week in Kentish Town)

The Problem

Buying fashion online should be simple.

But it rarely is.

Customers often order multiple sizes, return half their basket, wait for refunds, and repeat the process again next time.

For retailers, this creates a costly cycle of:



Low purchase confidence

*

High return rates

*

Operational complexity

*

Lost revenue

Despite the scale of eCommerce, the digital shopping experience still struggles to replicate something fundamental:

The confidence of trying something on before buying it.

The Idea

Our client, a fast-growing Series A startup operating at the intersection of eCommerce and fintech, is solving this problem.

Their platform enables fashion retailers to offer “Try Before You Buy” experiences, allowing customers to try items at home and only pay for what they decide to keep.

By combining technology, payments infrastructure, and data, the platform gives retailers the ability to deliver a more personalised and confident shopping experience online.

The result is a better outcome for both sides:

For customers:

Greater confidence when buying online

A smoother shopping experience

For retailers:

Higher conversion rates

Increased average order value

Stronger customer loyalty

The company is already working with a growing number of well-known fashion brands and is now entering its next stage of growth following successful Series A funding.

The Opportunity

Edison Hill Search has been engaged to help the company appoint a Senior Data Analyst who will play a key role in shaping how data is used across the organisation.

This is not a traditional reporting role.

It is an opportunity to work at the centre of a scaling technology business, helping to build the data foundations that support product development, operational performance, and partner success.

The successful candidate will work closely with engineering, product, and commercial teams to ensure the business can make better decisions through data.

For someone who enjoys ownership, variety, and working in a fast-moving environment, this role offers the chance to influence how data is used across the entire organisation.

The Role

The Senior Data Analyst will take a hands-on role across the full data lifecycle.

Responsibilities will include:

*

Analysing complex datasets to generate insights that inform product, operational, and partner strategy

*

Building dashboards and visualisations that support decision-making across the business

*

Designing and maintaining scalable data pipelines and architecture in collaboration with the engineering team

*

Establishing a single source of truth across customer, operational, and financial metrics

*

Working closely with Product, Customer Success, and Operations teams to measure performance and run experiments

*

Ensuring strong standards of data governance, quality, and accessibility

*

Promoting a data-driven culture across the organisation

Candidate Profile

Our client is seeking someone who combines strong technical capability with commercial awareness.

Key experience includes:

*

4+ years experience in data analytics, business intelligence, or data strategy

*

Strong SQL and data modelling skills

*

Experience with modern data tools such as dbt, Airflow, Redshift or similar

*

Experience building dashboards using tools such as Tableau, Looker Studio, or Power BI

*

Experience integrating multiple data sources into a clean, reliable data architecture

*

The ability to translate complex data into insights that influence real business decisions

Experience within startups, fintech, eCommerce, or consulting environments would be particularly valuable.

Why This Role Is Interesting

Many data roles focus primarily on reporting.

This one doesn’t.

In this role, data will influence:

*

Product development

*

Customer experience

*

Retail partner performance

*

Strategic decision-making

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to help shape the company’s data capability as the business scales, working closely with founders and senior leadership.

Competitive salary

Meaningful share options

32 days annual leave (with flexible public holidays)

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.

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.
