Why do we need a Digital Performance Analyst like you?

DWP teams need information about how our digital services are being used and whether they meet our users' needs.

Gathering and analysing data helps us make better, more-informed choices. Your mission will be to turn data into stories that help our product teams provide a great user experience.

You'll help others us understand the complexity of user behaviour by analysing data across the whole lifecycle - from its rawest form to generating insights.

You and your role

You'll use and develop data services in Azure and Power BI. You'll even have the chance to use robots and machine learning to predict and solve problems before they occur.

Our Performance Analyst community is supportive and expert. Whatever you don't yet know, we will create opportunities for you to learn.

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)

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.
