Data Scientist / Data Analyst

We are seeking a talented and hands-on Data Scientist / Data Analyst to join our team. In this role, you will be instrumental in modernising how we handle and analyse our business data. You'll bridge the gap between our legacy on-premises systems and a modern cloud-based data architecture, enabling real-time, data-driven decision-making across the organisation. The ideal candidate will also have strong experience with large language models (LLMs) and machine learning (ML), which are central to the analytical capabilities we are building. This role includes deploying agentic workflows to automate and enhance decision-making processes.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Legacy System Integration: Work with existing SQL-based backend systems (e.g., Redbook 10, Sage 200, Sage CRM) running on virtualized infrastructure in a private cloud. Design and implement lightweight coding solutions to integrate and transfer data from these legacy systems into cloud-based data lakes or warehouses.

  • Cloud Data Solutions and Visualization: Migrate and organize data within platforms like Microsoft Fabric. Develop and maintain Power BI dashboards to provide real-time insights and analytics, helping the senior leadership team and other stakeholders make informed decisions.

  • Technical and Analytical Expertise: Use your coding and data analysis skills to streamline data flows and improve efficiency. Bring at least 2–3 years of real-world experience in a similar environment, along with a relevant university-level qualification.

    Skills and Experience Required:

  • Proven experience with SQL-based systems in a virtualized private cloud.

  • Ability to build lightweight integrations and interfaces to move data from legacy systems to modern cloud data solutions.

  • Hands-on experience with data visualization tools such as Power BI.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and the ability to translate business requirements into actionable data insights.

  • Experience with large language models (LLMs) and machine learning (ML) is an advantage as well as practical experience in deploying agentic workflows for automated, intelligent data processing and analysis

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
