Eager to kickstart your career in technology while building deep expertise in the pensions sector? Here’s your opportunity to join ea Change and work with an innovative, award-winning technology organisation delivering cutting-edge digital solutions to the pensions industry.


About us

ea Change, with over two decades of expertise in managing Business and IT transformations, is at the forefront of facilitating meaningful, lasting change for clients across the spectrum. With a firm foundation in fostering long-lasting partnerships, we're committed to upskilling and developing future leaders through our Futures Programme. We pride ourselves on a culture that prioritises diversity, inclusion, kindness, integrity, and most importantly, people.


About the Role

As a Graduate Data Analyst, you will join a fast-growing technology environment, supporting the delivery and configuration of innovative software solutions. You’ll collaborate with clients to gather requirements, configure system functionality, and ensure solutions meet business needs.

This is a highly analytical, client-facing role combining technical configuration, problem-solving, and stakeholder engagement. You’ll develop expertise in system implementation and digital transformation within financial services.

No two projects are the same — you’ll gain exposure to varied benefit designs, complex calculations, data migrations, and software releases, building valuable technical and consulting skills from day one.


Responsibilities

  • Assist in configuring workflows, data screens, system interfaces, payroll integrations, and reports.
  • Work with clients to gather requirements and translate them into system specifications.
  • Communicate with clients throughout the implementation lifecycle, gathering feedback and securing approval.
  • Produce clear documentation for both client and internal use.
  • Support software releases and upgrade processes when required.
  • Manage multiple parallel tasks and prioritise effectively within project deadlines.
  • Build strong relationships with internal teams and external stakeholders.
  • Record time and contribute to continuous improvement across delivery processes.


Requirements

  • A technical undergraduate degree.
  • Right to work in the United Kingdom.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving ability with a high degree of numeracy.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • The ability to prioritise, meet deadlines, and manage multiple tasks.
  • Adaptability and eagerness to learn new technologies quickly.
  • Confidence using Microsoft Office tools.


Desirable (but not essential — training will be provided):

  • Experience or academic exposure to SQL, T-SQL, XML, or databases.
  • Experience using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
  • Understanding of business processes and workflows.


Our clients value diversity in all its forms, and we especially welcome applications from female graduates and individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in STEM. If you’re passionate about technology, enjoy solving complex problems, and want to build a specialist career in a growing sector, we want to hear from you.


Benefits

  • Fully funded accredited qualifications
  • Bespoke flexible training
  • A health cash plan
  • 26 days annual leave
  • Regular mentoring and personal development
  • Access to a comprehensive learning portal
  • Opportunities for progression and a robust fast-track into technology consulting and digital transformation
  • Hybrid working and commercial exposure


How to Apply

If you're interested in this opportunity and fit the bill, we'd be thrilled to hear from you so kindly submit your CV. Together, let's shape the future!

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.
