The Opportunity
This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented Data Analyst looking to develop into a Data Engineering role. Working closely with the Data Lead in a small, high-impact team, you will partner with one other specialist to deliver data solutions across multiple business functions.
Success in this role requires precision, ownership, and the ability to independently manage projects while collaborating effectively within a lean team structure. You'll play a key role in ensuring data is accurate, reliable, and actionable across the organisation.
Data sits at the heart of the business, driving decisions around customer behaviour, performance tracking, and strategic direction. You will contribute to the ongoing development of a modern data warehouse while delivering high-quality reporting and insights to teams across the company. Over time, the role will expand into deeper customer analytics and segmentation initiatives.

Key Responsibilities
• Design, build, and maintain robust ETL pipelines with a strong focus on data accuracy and consistency
• Integrate and reconcile data from multiple sources to create a single, reliable view of customers and business activity
• Work closely with stakeholders across Marketing, Finance, Product, Logistics, and Customer Services to deliver precise and actionable reporting
• Develop and optimise dashboards (primarily in Looker), ensuring clarity, usability, and attention to detail in every output
• Translate business requirements into clean, scalable, and user-friendly data solutions
• Manage reporting workflows via JIRA, maintaining clear communication on priorities, timelines, and delivery
• Ensure high data quality through validation, testing, and ongoing monitoring
• Produce tailored data extracts for both internal and external use cases
• Maintain thorough documentation, including data definitions and governance standards
• Support and promote a self-serve data culture across the business

About You
• 3+ years' experience in data analytics, with a strong emphasis on accuracy and detail
• Advanced SQL skills, with experience building scalable pipelines and data models
• Experience with BI tools such as Looker (preferred), Tableau, or Power BI
• Strong Excel skills for data analysis and validation
• Comfortable working in a small team environment, partnering closely with one colleague while supporting multiple business areas
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly present data insights to non-technical stakeholders
• Experience with Python or Java is beneficial
• Strong analytical mindset with a focus on producing reliable, high-quality outputs
• Proven ability to organise, validate, and interpret complex datasets

Why Apply?
• Clear pathway from Data Analyst into Data Engineering
• High level of ownership and impact within a small, collaborative team
• Opportunity to work across diverse projects and business functions
• Be part of building a data-driven culture from the ground up

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
