Data Analyst role - Be the first data professional in this business to help shape the next steps!

I’m currently recruiting for a Data Analyst to join a well-established pensions business based in Manchester city centre. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who’s keen to develop their career in financial services, working closely with the Finance Director and gaining first-hand exposure to how the business operates.

The Role

As Data Analyst, you’ll be responsible for taking ownership of the customer journey data from start to finish. You’ll track performance at every stage – from transfer times and enquiry volumes to how investments are progressing – ensuring the business has clear, accurate insight to make better decisions.

Key responsibilities of the role:

  • Use Trello to monitor and track the customer journey.
  • Pull and interpret data from spreadsheets and other sources.
  • Use Power BI in the back-office system.
  • Produce meaningful MI (Management Information) to support business decisions.
  • Continuously measure and improve MI reporting processes.
  • Identify patterns and opportunities to improve efficiency and customer experience.
  • Work alongside the Finance Director, learning the ropes and supporting key financial processes.
  • Help develop reporting for the front-end system, where no current analytics are in place.

This role would suit someone naturally curious and analytical, with strong problem-solving skills and an eagerness to learn. You’ll need to be comfortable working with data, spotting trends, and turning raw numbers into actionable insight.

Key requirements:

  • Previous experience in a data analysis or MI role.
  • Strong Excel and spreadsheet skills.
  • Experience using Power BI or other analytical tools.
  • A proactive approach to improving processes.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present findings clearly.
  • Experience in financial services or pensions would be an advantage, but not essential.

This role is a full-time office-based role in Manchester City Centre and is offering a salary of up to £39,000 per annum. The role also comes with a wealth of benefits including 25 days holiday, 16% pension contributions & private health care.

Please apply within.

Top 10 Skills in Machine Learning According to LinkedIn & Indeed Job Postings

Machine learning (ML) is at the forefront of innovation, powering systems in finance, healthcare, retail, logistics, and beyond in the UK. As organisations leverage ML for predictive analytics, automation, and intelligent systems, demand for skilled practitioners continues to grow. So, which skills are most in demand? Drawing on insights from LinkedIn and Indeed, this article outlines the Top 10 machine learning skills UK employers are looking for in 2025. You'll learn how to demonstrate these capabilities through your CV, interviews, and real-world projects.

The Future of Machine Learning Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the most powerful forces reshaping the modern world. From voice assistants and recommendation engines to fraud detection and medical imaging, it underpins countless applications. ML is no longer confined to research labs—it powers business models, public services, and consumer technologies across the globe. In the UK, demand for machine learning professionals has risen dramatically. Organisations in finance, retail, healthcare, and defence are embedding ML into their operations. Start-ups in Cambridge, London, and Edinburgh are pioneering innovations, while government-backed initiatives aim to position the UK as a global AI leader. Salaries for ML engineers and researchers are among the highest in the tech sector. Yet despite its current importance, machine learning is only at the beginning of its journey. Advances in generative AI, quantum computing, robotics, and ethical governance will reshape the profession. Many of the most vital machine learning jobs of the next two decades don’t exist today. This article explores why new careers will emerge, the roles likely to appear, how today’s roles will evolve, why the UK is well positioned, and how professionals can prepare now.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Machine Learning Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's machine learning sector has evolved into one of Europe's most intellectually stimulating and financially rewarding technology markets, with roles spanning from junior ML engineers to principal machine learning scientists and heads of artificial intelligence research. With machine learning positions commanding salaries from £32,000 for graduate ML engineers to £160,000+ for senior principal scientists, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this pioneering and rapidly evolving field. Unlike traditional software engineering roles, machine learning hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by AI research cycles, model development timelines, and algorithmic innovation schedules. The sector's unique combination of mathematical rigour, computational complexity, and real-world application requirements creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in developing tomorrow's intelligent systems. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for machine learning job applications in the UK, examining how enterprise AI strategies, academic research cycles, and deep learning initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a groundbreaking AI research team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of machine learning algorithms.
