Description du poste

Data Analytics Coach & Applied AI Specialist | Hybrid - Swansea or Cardiff | £35,000 - £45,000

This is a split role for a hands-on data analyst who wants to move into coaching without leaving technical work behind. Half your week is spent coaching Level 4 Data Analytics apprentices. The other half is spent as the in-house data and applied AI specialist for a growing digital and tech training provider in Wales. You don't need any teaching or assessing background, because your assessor qualification is fully funded.

The role - Coaching (around 50%):

• Manage a caseload of 16-24 apprentices on the Agored Cymru Level 4 Data Analytics apprenticeship
• Run online group sessions and one-to-one coaching, with some visits to apprentices' workplaces across Wales
• Hold regular progress reviews with apprentices and their employers
• Assess learners' work against awarding body requirements and give clear, timely feedback
• Keep accurate learner records in line with funding, safeguarding and quality requirements

The role - Data & Applied AI (around 50%):

• Clean, prepare and analyse data from internal systems
• Build Power BI dashboards and automated reports on learner progress, achievement and business performance
• Design and build automations across the e-portfolio and CRM systems
• Work with the AI team to design practical AI courses for clients and apprentices, covering tools like Claude and Copilot, simple automations and AI governance
• Help the Managing Director shape the organisation's data and AI strategy

This is applied AI, not data science. You won't be building machine learning models.

We're looking for:

• Strong hands-on data analytics experience, ideally including building internal reporting or data systems
• Confidence with Excel, SQL, Power BI and Power Automate (or similar)
• Practical experience using Claude and Copilot
• Working knowledge of responsible AI, AI governance and data protection, and the confidence to advise others on them
• The ability to explain data and AI clearly to non-technical people
• A full UK driving licence and willingness to complete an enhanced DBS check, which will be arranged for you

Desirable:

• A degree in Data, Maths, Computer Science or a related subject, or equivalent experience
• Experience leading data projects
• Welsh language skills

If you don't tick every box but have strong data skills and a real interest in coaching, it's still worth getting in touch.

What's on offer:

• £36,000 - £40,000 depending on experience
• Hybrid working from the Swansea or Cardiff office, Monday to Friday, 8:30am - 4:30pm
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, and a workplace pension
• A fully funded assessor qualification, coaching development support, and a training budget for professional qualifications
