    Data Science is at the heart of decision making and customer treatments in Sky. We provide analytics to inform customer growth strategies, create 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 our stakeholders to help drive decision making using the power of data and insights. You’ll learn advanced analytical techniques and use cutting edge 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.

    And the best thing is 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 for those knowing they want to work in Data Science. You’ll do two six-month rotations within Sky Data:

    • Advanced Analytics
    • Commercial Analytics

    This gives you the opportunity to work across two teams, giving you broad exposure.

    Advanced Analytics are a team full of data scientists that use customer level, big / deep data sets from Sky.

    Commercial Analytics & Experimentation are the owners of Commercial Analytics data products at Sky. They provide recommendations through Data Science and work in close partnership with stakeholders.
