Togather started life as Feast It, in 2017, as a booking platform for people to book street food caterers for their birthday parties and weddings. Since then, we have grown to become the UK’s biggest events platform as Togather for food, drink, venues, photographers and so much more.

We’re here to help people make amazing memories on some of the biggest and best days of their lives. Whether they’re planning the whole-company summer party, hosting an epic dinner party, or running an entire festival, we can - and do - help with all of it.

None of this would be possible without our amazing community of partners, who we handpick from across the country.

We’ve worked with everyone from Amazon, Nike, and London Pride, to Tom Cruise, Star Wars, and Taylor Swift. Within the office, we recently came #7 in the Startups 100 Awards and have been named in the top 15 in Tempo's 50 Best Places To Work. Our team truly love and care about what they do, which makes working here that much easier.

The Role:

We are looking for a Data Lead or a Snr Data Analyst to lead our data strategy in the business. Our vision is that data informs the beginning and end of every decision that we make, and this means the role will work closely with all areas of the business to empower and elevate their decision making. In line with our squads model, this role will help explore big business questions such as modelling and forecasting, as well as contribute to the product discovery process and champion better insights and analytics.

You'll report to our Head of Product  but find yourself interacting with the wider senior management team. We're looking for someone who is independent, autonomous, passionate about showing what can be achieved with data and about creating a culture that encourages people to learn through.

  • Developing our dashboarding within Looker to enable teams to self-serve their data requirements
  • Being a champion/leader for data in the organisation, and helping upskill internal team members

Provide project teams with data insights:

  • Support project teams with data insights to focus on the highest impact changes, prioritise effectively and measure results
  • Working with senior management teams to plot key business strategic direction using data

    Tools
  • Collaborate with our engineering team to iterate and improve on our machine learning Matchmaking model
  • Work along with the team and business with ongoing A/B testing and analysis

Requirements

Ideally you will have a breadth of experience in extracting insights across many different data sources (e.g. relational databases, Google Analytics, Segment, Split.io), transforming data via DBT, and visualising those insights using a range of tools (e.g.

Looker, Google Sheets).

  • Experience in defining and creating metrics for consumption by our BI tool and other services
  • Experience using data visualisation tools. We use Looker and experience here will be a big bonus, but other tools & experiences are of course still relevant.
  • Adept at executing end-to-end analytics projects: gathering requirements, defining measures of success, validating data sources and analysis methods, delivering insights and presenting to stakeholders to ensure the key insights and recommendations are identified and delivered
  • Experience in analysing data to draw business-relevant conclusions and in data visualisation techniques and tools
  • Advanced SQL skills and experience transforming data with DBT
  • Excellent understanding of commercial KPIs with strong ability in storytelling, providing proactive as well as reactive insight.

  • Logical and creative thinking skills: you can approach a problem, applying logic and creativity
  • Data classification and analysis from 3rd parties as part of our Live events

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.
