We firmly support diversity, equity and inclusion, and continue to work with our teams to shape the future of our culture and values: Disciplined to Deliver, Passion for Progress, Win with Warmth, Courage to Challenge and Trusted Team Players.


What you'll do

Being a Senior Manager Enterprise Data Transformation is about so much more than bringing our coffee to the world. It's your chance to stir up real success - which means you'll:



  • Lead and orchestrate the data ecosystem for Enterprise Transformation (ET) projects, aligning data architecture with project goals and business outcomes.
  • Manage the integration of disparate data sources, oversee data modelling and transformation, and enable seamless reporting for stakeholders.
  • Own and manage ERP data from various D365 systems within the enterprise data platform, delivering and evolving Power BI reporting solutions to support operations and insights.
  • Partner with technology, business, and finance teams to understand requirements, prioritise initiatives, and ensure robust delivery.
  • Stay ahead of industry trends and emerging technologies, bringing new ideas and competitive advantages to the enterprise data ecosystem.

Who you are

It's your unique ingredients we're interested in:



  • Extensive experience in enterprise data, transformation programmes, and data architecture
  • Strong understanding of D365 data structures and expertise in data modelling, integration, and reporting platforms
  • Hands‑on experience in Databricks, Power‑BI, Power Query, DAX, tabular model design, star and snowflake schemas.


  • Strong track record of delivering end‑to‑end data solutions for complex business initiatives
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, driving lifecycle of analytics initiatives, including scoping, backlog management, user acceptance testing, and deployment.

Where you'll work:

Right now, our Support Centre teams work flexibly, blending home working with in‑person time whenever it matters most - whether that's a team moment, a creative session, or simply coming together to share ideas.


We're excited to be moving into a new home for our brand in St Albans in January 2027 - an inspiring space from which our Support Centre teams will work three days a week to connect and collaborate in‑person to bring our bold ambition to life.

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.
