Data & Insights Manager £60,000 £65,000 Hybrid - Bridgwater, Somerset 3 days/week This is a rare opportunity to step into a leadership role at the intersection of data strategy and real-world impact. You ll shape how an organisation thinks, decides, and grows - turning complex data into clear direction for executive and board-level stakeholders. Reporting into the Head of IT, you ll lead the Data & Insights function - owning the strategy, the team, and the output. You ll partner closely with Finance, Operations, Marketing, HR, and the Executive Leadership Team to embed a data-driven culture across the organisation. This isn t a hands-off management role. You ll bring hypothesis-led thinking to executive conversations, challenge the technology that moves data around the business, and recommend what comes next - with the authority and experience to deliver it. What you ll be doing: Strategy & leadership • Define and drive an enterprise-wide analytics strategy that aligns with business objectives. • Establish and own Data Governance principles - quality, security, and compliance. • Champion a culture of data-driven decision-making at executive and board level. Insight & storytelling • Convert commercial insight into clear trading, product, and sales recommendations. • Bring a hypothesis-led narrative to board-level conversations, backed by analysis that is thoughtful and actionable. • Evolve the model that tracks the full value of marketing channels and programmatic strategies. Technology & platforms • Continuously evolve the data infrastructure - challenging how data is harvested and distributed across the business. • Lead on Power BI, Data Lakes, Lakehouse and Machine Learning capabilities. • Stay ahead of emerging tools and technologies - and have the experience to deliver your recommendations. People & culture • Lead, develop, and mentor a team of Data Analysts and Engineers. • Empower your team to operate independently - you should never be the single point of failure. • Build self-serve insight capability across Finance, Operations, Marketing, and HR. What we re looking for: Essential • Demonstrable senior experience in data analytics or insights leadership, with a track record of building and developing high-performing teams. • Significant proven experience developing, delivering, and embedding a clear enterprise-wide analytics and insights strategy that aligns with business objectives. • Expert-level knowledge of BI and data visualisation platforms - Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or Qlik - including dashboard design, performance optimisation, and modelling best practices. • Hands-on experience designing and implementing Power BI datasets, dashboards, and paginated reports. • Proven track record delivering ETL pipelines, data warehousing, and modern visualisation platforms end-to-end. • Strong commercial acumen - the ability to translate data into decisions that drive growth, not just reports. • Exceptional communicator and influencer at all levels, from data engineers to board members. Desirable • A degree in Data Science, Business Analytics, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related field. • Certifications such as CBIP or Microsoft Certified Power BI Data Analyst Associate are a bonus - but not a dealbreaker if your experience speaks for itself. The kind of person who ll thrive here: You follow through. You don t miss your own deadlines. You push for clarity when things are vague and for progress when things stall. You know how to get the most from a team without becoming their bottleneck - and you care about the quality of the work as much as the pace of it. You re energetic, self-motivated, and comfortable operating at pace across multiple priorities.

Head of Data Science & AI Hybrid in London, United Kingdom We're looking for a Head of Data Science & AI You'll lead iwoca's data science function - a group building probabilistic and statistical models that make real-time lending decisions. You'll also be a key part of how iwoca embeds AI across the wider business: setting the pace yourself, and raising capability beyond your direct team. The company Small businesses move fast. Opportunities often don't wait, and cash flow pressures can appear overnight. To keep going, and growing, SMEs need finance that's as flexible and responsive as they are. That's why we built iwoca. Our smart technology, data science and five-star customer service ensures business owners can act with the speed, confidence and control they need, exactly when it's needed. We've already cleared the way for 100,000 businesses with more than £4 billion in funding. Our passionate team is driven to help even more SMEs succeed, through access to better finance and other services that make running a business easier. Our ultimate mission is to support one million SMEs in their defining moments, creating lasting impact for the communities and economies they drive. The team iwoca's data scientists build probabilistic and statistical models that make lending decisions in real time, support forecasting, and shape commercial strategy. Their work is deployed in production code and has direct commercial consequences - it's more than exploratory analysis. The function is now embedding AI into how that work gets done. Successfully leading it will require close collaboration with engineering, product, and commercial teams. The role As Head of Data Science & AI, you'll shape how a technically sophisticated team works - and influence how the wider business adopts AI. Doing that well requires a deep understanding of the modelling work: where AI genuinely changes the work, where it speeds things up, and where a different approach is better. You'll judge what's actually possible with these tools - and challenge the assumptions when the rationale isn't clear. iwoca's data scientists build probabilistic ML models on credit and commercial data, deployed in production, making real-time lending decisions across lending, product, operations, and strategy. The group has approximately 25 data scientists, split across a central team and smaller groups aligned to specific products or domains. You'll report to one of iwoca's co-founders, who is also a data scientist. AI enablement and adoption You'll set the standard for how AI is used across the group - establishing practices that make adoption safe and repeatable, and creating the conditions for a technically sophisticated group to advance together. Strategic direction You'll influence where the group invests its resources - deciding what to model, where AI accelerates the work, and where a lighter approach is more effective. You'll shape commercial and product decisions by making analytical trade-offs legible to senior stakeholders, and work with team leads to plan and prioritise across multiple streams. People and team You'll develop the people around you - raising capability across the group through clear standards, direct coaching, and a genuine investment in how data scientists grow. You'll spot where the gaps are and help close them. You'll also own hiring, shaping how the group assesses and develops talent as it grows. Commercial opportunity and coordination You'll spot commercial opportunities across the business - where modelling or AI can change outcomes - and work with Engineering, Product, and Operations teams to act on them. You'll represent the group in discussions that shape lending, risk, and product decisions, explaining assumptions, highlighting risks, and helping senior stakeholders act on analytical insight. The requirements Essential High AI agency: You actively experiment with AI in your analytical and technical workflows. You use tools like Claude Code, Codex, or similar to build, automate, and accelerate substantive work. You have a clear view on how AI changes what a data science team does and a track record of raising capability across the people around you, not just your own output. Transformation track record: You have led a meaningful shift in how an analytical or data science team works. You are comfortable navigating resistance, building adoption across different types of people, and making change persist beyond your direct involvement. Technical background: You have a background in probability, statistics, or a related quantitative field, with hands on experience building and overseeing probabilistic ML models on structured commercial or financial data. Production experience: You have managed the full lifecycle of models in production - deploying, monitoring, and retiring them. You are comfortable coordinating chains of model dependencies across different teams. Commercial acumen: You understand how modelling supports business decisions and know when to make trade offs between depth, delivery time, and value. Strategic leadership: You have experience setting data science strategy, aligning work with commercial goals, and translating technical modelling for senior stakeholders so they can act on it. People and team: You have experience managing a data science team, setting clear standards, and developing people - including having direct conversations about where the gap is and how to close it. Bonus: Domain experience: You have worked in credit risk, lending, or customer lifetime value modelling. Function scale: You have led a data science team of 20 or more people across multiple teams. R&D and forecasting: You have experience shaping a modelling agenda, including probabilistic or long term forecasting work. Industry profile: You have represented a data science team externally - industry events, publications, or advisory roles. The salary We expect to pay from £120,000 to £170,000 for this role. But, we're open minded, so definitely include your salary goals with your application. We routinely benchmark salaries against market rates, and run quarterly performance and salary reviews. The culture At iwoca, the best idea wins. We model our culture on independent thinking, challenging untested logic, and evidence based decisions. We prioritise learning and growth, and give people the autonomy to develop in the direction that makes them most effective. We're a tech company and believe in the power of AI to help us work faster and better. We provide the infrastructure where every iwocan always has access to the best models and where those models have access to all of our data. We will help our people to learn how to use and grow with the new tools available to them. The offices We put a lot of effort into making iwoca a great place to work: Offices in London, Leeds, Berlin, and Frankfurt with plenty of drinks and snacks. Events and community led groups, including running groups, padel, and monthly ping pong and pool competitions. The benefits Flexible working hours. Medical insurance from Vitality, including discounted gym membership. A private GP service (separate from Vitality) for you, your partner, and your dependents. 25 days' holiday per year, an extra day off for your birthday, the option to buy or sell an additional five days of annual leave, and unlimited unpaid leave. A one month, fully paid sabbatical after four years. Instant access to external counselling and therapy sessions for team members that need emotional or mental health support. 3% Pension contributions on total earnings. An employee equity incentive scheme. Generous parental leave and a nursery tax benefit scheme to help you save money. Electric car scheme and cycle to work scheme. Two company retreats a year: we've been to France, Italy, Spain, and further afield. And to make sure we all keep learning, we offer: A learning and development budget for everyone. Company wide talks with internal and external speakers. Access to learning platforms like Treehouse.

Permanent, Full Time (35 hours per week) Closing Date for applications is 23rd April 2026 First Interview: 6th and 7th May Second interview: TBC About us The Wildlife Trusts are a grassroots movement of people from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life, who believe that we need nature and nature needs us. We have more than 945,000 members, over 33,000 volunteers, 4,100 staff and 600 trustees. There are 46 individual Wildlife Trusts, each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal identity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live and work. Every Wildlife Trust is part of The Wildlife Trusts federation and a corporate member of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, a registered charity in its own right founded in 1912 and one of the founding members of IUCN the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Taken together this federation of 47 charities is known as The Wildlife Trusts. The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in. We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. We recognise that this will require big, bold changes in the way The Wildlife Trusts work, not least in how we mobilise others and support them to organise within their own communities. About you Are you a visionary leader in green finance, driven to shape nature markets that deliver nature s recovery in the UK? We re looking for a senior leader in green finance and nature markets to drive the strategic development and delivery of all aspects of green finance across The Wildlife Trusts federation, ensuring our approach is ambitious, coherent, and aligned with our 2030 strategy - Bringing Nature Back. Drawing on your strong business acumen, you will build a robust pipeline of commercial nature products to meet growing buyer demand, such as habitat banks for England s Biodiversity Net Gain market, or nature-based carbon projects for the voluntary carbon market. An innovative problem-solver with an entrepreneurial spirit, you will help embed the systems, processes, and resources needed to strengthen our green finance capability, manage commercial risks, and improve efficiency across the federation. It is essential that you have strong relationship-building and line management experience to grow our national Green Finance team, and establish new and long-lasting relationships with colleagues across the federation, external partners and stakeholders. A core part of the role is to grow The Wildlife Trusts national function as a trusted broker for high integrity nature market products delivered by local Trusts. Using your strategic commercial skills, you will also lead the development of new opportunities for large scale investment, designing the mechanisms through which investment can be deployed and ensuring these approaches work for both national and local priorities. You will champion innovation in green finance, supporting pioneering work in nationally significant landscapes, such as the Rothbury Estate, while helping position The Wildlife Trusts at the forefront of nature market development. Acting as a national thought leader, you will represent the organisation across the conservation, government, finance, and business sectors - advocating for the role of green finance in delivering transformational impact for nature. The Wildlife Trusts value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism and strength in diversity. Whilst we are passionate in promoting our aims, we are not judgmental and are inclusive. We particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within our sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities.
