Data Analyst

Are you ready to lead where data governance meets cloud-native innovation, shaping scalable solutions in hybrid environments?
Can you transform complex data models into actionable insights using Python, AWS, and open standards like XML, JSON, and YAML?
Do you want to make a lasting impact by driving agile delivery, mastering metadata, and elevating data quality across the enterprise?
Are you a data-driven technologist passionate about cloud-native solutions and modern integration patterns? Were seeking someone with strong expertise in relational databases, SQL, and ETL pipelines, capable of working closely with architects to support design of target data architectures. Youll bring solid experience in data modelling (UML, Object-Oriented, ER) and fluency in open standards like XML, JSON, and YAML. With hands-on skills in Python, VS Code, and open-source tools, youll thrive in hybrid cloud environmentsideally with AWS at the core.
Beyond technical mastery, youll be a champion of agile delivery, CI/CD practices, and modern data governance. You understand the nuances of master data management, metadata control, sensitivity classification, and stakeholder ownership. Youll be expected to distil complex modelling outputs into clear, consumable documentation, and continuously evolve your skillset with emerging technologies like R, Terraform, Markdown, and Mermaid JS. If you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and are ready to shape the future of data, we want to hear from you.
What you will be doing
In this role, youll be mapping out how data flows across the organisationfrom where its captured to how its transferred and transformed across different domains. Youll take the lead on building and maintaining our data catalogue and data dictionary, helping support the Data Protection Officer and strengthening how we manage data overall. Youll work closely with architects in agile feature teams to support data movement, migration, and integration needs, and youll create key documentation (like IFDDs) to keep our data flows auditable and transparent.
Youll also get stuck into building data quality pipelines and toolchains, working with data stewards and owners to tackle any issues before they become problems. Whether its cleaning and managing data for insight or contributing to governance forums like the Owners Committee and Stewards Forum, youll help make sure good data practice is embedded across the charity. Youll also support the wider data architecture by helping to shape our governance processes, policies, and standardskeeping data reliable, accessible, and impactful.
About you
Youve got a solid grounding in relational databases, SQL, and data integration, and youre confident designing data models using techniques like UML and entity relationships. Youre familiar with cloud-native technologies (ideally AWS), and understand how data moves in complex, hybrid environments.
Youre hands-on, curious, and always looking for better ways to work with data. You know your way around Python and open-source tools, and youre comfortable with formats like JSON and XML. You enjoy collaborating in agile teams, translating technical detail into clear, useful outputs, and youre not afraid to roll up your sleeves when needed. Most of all, you're excited by the opportunity to help shape a truly data-led future.
Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion
Equality, diversity, and inclusion are incredibly important to us; we have a culture of belonging. Were always looking to increase the diversity of our workforce to ensure we can provide the best service possible for everyone. Its not just about the professional experience you bring were interested in who you are and your potential. If theres an adjustment to our recruitment process that would help you to be your best, speak to our team and theyll be happy to help.

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.

Pre-Employment Checks for Machine Learning Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in machine learning reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of artificial intelligence research, algorithmic decision-making, and transformative business automation. Machine learning professionals often have privileged access to proprietary datasets, cutting-edge algorithms, and strategic AI systems that form the foundation of organizational competitive advantage and automated decision-making capabilities. The machine learning industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning AI governance directives, algorithmic accountability requirements, and emerging ML ethics regulations. Machine learning specialists must demonstrate not only technical competence in model development and deployment but also deep understanding of algorithmic fairness, AI safety principles, and the societal implications of automated decision-making at scale. Modern machine learning roles frequently involve developing systems that impact hiring decisions, financial services, healthcare diagnostics, and autonomous operations across multiple regulatory jurisdictions and ethical frameworks simultaneously. The combination of algorithmic influence, predictive capabilities, and automated decision-making authority makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, fairness, and public trust in AI-powered systems.
