Where you’ll be based

We have Data opportunities in our Bristol, London, Norwich and Perth offices.

Not every specialism is available in every location so you may need to be flexible about where you work and be willing to relocate if you don’t currently live within commuting distance of the relevant office. You will have the opportunity to preference your location choice during your application.

Wherever you’re based, the likelihood is you’ll balance time in the office with working from home. We call this Smart Working. Three days in the office and two days from home is typical, but this will vary between teams. When you join us, your leader will take time to discuss this with you, and agree what works best for you, your team, and the business.

Even with our Smart Working approach, it’s important to note you’ll still need to live within commuting distance of your contracted office. That way you’ll get to spend time with your team in person, as well as virtually, and get access to the right internal support networks to help you to succeed.

What you’ll need

You’ll either already have a degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, Business Intelligence or another programming / highly numerate related subject – or you’ll be graduating by the end of summer 2026. You’ll need to be ready to start work full-time from September 2026.

You’ll have a genuine passion for numbers, information and coding – and a good understanding of programming languages like Python, R or SQL. You’ll need to be comfortable working with data and be able to write code. And just as importantly, you’ll bring an analytical mindset, be curious about tech, and love of solving complex problems.
