About this programme

Data Science is at the heart of decision making and customer treatments at Sky. We provide analytics to inform customer growth strategies, build tooling to drive personalised customer treatments, and champion test-and-learn through experimentation.

On our Data Science programme, you’ll have exposure across the business as you work with stakeholders to help drive decision making using the power of data and insights. You’ll learn advanced analytical techniques and use ground-breaking predictive algorithms to deliver valuable insight to the business. You could be helping to build our next data product, predicting future customer behaviour, or unlocking the value of our content.

You don’t have to specialise too soon. Instead, you get to experience everything that makes data science special at Sky before deciding on the area that’s right for you.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll join our fast-track programme designed for those who know they want to work in Data Science. You’ll complete two six-month rotations in the Data Science & Analytics department within Sky Data, across the following teams:

  • Consumer – Collaborate closely with our commercial teams to develop data science models and data products used for strategic decision-making

  • Content – Utilise viewing data to craft personalised customer experiences, enabling customers to discover more content they adore

  • Product & Operations – Partner with product teams to create innovative data tools and enhance the efficiency and performance of products our customers use in their daily lives

This structure gives you the opportunity to work across two teams, providing broad exposure to different areas of Data Science at Sky.

What we’re looking for

You’re a graduate from any degree field, or will soon be. You may have studied maths, statistics, computer science, economics, or physics, or be able to demonstrate your understanding of data through personal or university projects. What matters most is your passion for data, your drive, and the ambition you bring to the team.

Other skills we value include:

  • Logical, end-to-end thinker

  • Hardworking problem-solver with numerical, presentation, and IT skills

  • Previous experience in data manipulation using Python, SQL, R, SAS, Matlab

  • Academic experience in machine learning, including supervised/unsupervised learning, regression, decision trees, random forests, and boosting

  • Enjoy task-focused delivery, a fast-paced environment, and overcoming challenges

  • Collaborative, excellent with people, and keen on following recent trends in the market

Right to work

To be eligible for this role, you must have the appropriate right to work in the UK for the duration of the programme. Please note that Sky does not offer sponsorship for this programme.

Application deadline: 3 November 2025
