Tech news, blog and careers advice

 IT Jobs in Newport: Technology Careers on the Isle of Wight and in South Wales Introduction Newport may not be the first city that comes to mind when technology professionals think about career opportunities, but those who take the time to explore IT jobs in Newport will discover a distinctive and evolving market with genuine strengths in defence, aerospace, maritime technology, and growing digital sectors. Newport on the Isle of Wight is home to a remarkable cluster of high-technology defence and aerospace employers — including GKN Aerospace, Leonardo Helicopters, and Britten-Norman — that create consistent demand for technology professionals in a beautiful island setting. Authority in Newport's technology employment market flows from specialist domain knowledge — particularly in defence and aerospace engineering systems, embedded software, and safety-critical applications — combined with the security clearance that most major employers in the area require. The Isle of Wight's technology community is close-knit and reputation-driven, making the quality of your work and professional relationships particularly important for long-term career success. The Isle of Wight's Defence and Aerospace Technology Sector The Isle of Wight has a distinguished history in aerospace and defence technology that extends back to the development of the Hovercraft in the 1950s and 1960s. Today, GKN Aerospace maintains significant manufacturing and engineering operations on the island, producing composite aerostructures for major civil and military programmes. Leonardo's helicopter division has a long-established presence, supporting the design, manufacture, and through-life support of rotary-wing aircraft for military customers. These major prime contractors create demand for embedded systems engineers, software engineers (C, C++, Ada, Python), avionics systems specialists, systems integration engineers, and IT infrastructure professionals. The island's geography — and the limited talent pool that comes with it — means that skilled technology professionals command strong salaries and benefit from exceptional job security once established within a major employer. Newport, South Wales — An Expanding Digital Hub Newport in South Wales presents a different but equally interesting technology market. The city has been growing its digital economy significantly, supported by the Welsh Government's investment in digital infrastructure and the presence of major employers including Newport City Council, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, and a growing cluster of digital businesses and technology startups. Newport's location between Cardiff and Bristol — with excellent rail connections to both — means that professionals based in Newport can access the broader South Wales and South West England technology labour markets. IT support, systems administration, software development, and public sector IT roles are the most consistently available positions in Newport, South Wales. The city's growing profile within the Welsh Government's digital economy strategy is attracting investment that is gradually expanding the range and seniority of technology roles available locally. Salaries and Cost of Living Technology salaries in Newport — whether on the Isle of Wight or in South Wales — are generally lower in absolute terms than in London, Bristol, or Manchester. Junior IT roles typically start at £22,000 to £30,000. Mid-level professionals earn £35,000 to £50,000. Senior and specialist roles, particularly in defence and aerospace on the Isle of Wight, can reach £55,000 to £80,000 with clearance premiums. The significantly lower cost of living — particularly housing — makes Newport an attractive location for professionals seeking an excellent quality of life. Newport in Its Regional Context Professionals considering Newport should also explore adjacent markets. IT jobs in Bristol — just 30 minutes by train from Newport, South Wales — offer a significantly larger and more diverse technology employment market with competitive salaries. IT jobs in Southampton provide the mainland gateway for professionals on the Isle of Wight who want to expand their career horizons. IT jobs in Fareham and the wider Hampshire defence corridor are accessible from the Isle of Wight via ferry.
IT Jobs in Basingstoke: Technology Careers in Hampshire's Corporate and Defence Hub Introduction Basingstoke is one of the most consistently underrated technology employment locations in the South of England, and professionals exploring IT jobs in Basingstoke will find a mature, diverse, and well-paid technology market anchored by a remarkable concentration of global corporations, major defence contractors, and established technology businesses. Located in north Hampshire with fast rail connections to London Waterloo (45 minutes), Basingstoke offers the salary levels and employer quality of a major technology market alongside living costs significantly lower than the capital. Authority in Basingstoke's technology market flows through enterprise-level experience, vendor certifications, and long-standing relationships with the major employers that have embedded themselves in the town over decades. The IT professional who understands the operational requirements of global multinationals — and who can navigate the governance, procurement, and stakeholder management structures of large organisations — is highly valued in Basingstoke's corporate technology environment. Major Employers in Basingstoke's Technology Sector Basingstoke hosts the UK or European headquarters of a striking number of major organisations. AA Insurance, Pension Insurance Corporation, Motorola Solutions, Novartis, Sun Life, and many others have significant technology functions in the town. The defence and government sector is also strongly represented — DXC Technology, Leidos, and other major government IT contractors maintain operations in and around Basingstoke, generating demand for security-cleared IT professionals. The M3 motorway corridor that runs through north Hampshire — connecting London with Southampton via Basingstoke — is sometimes referred to as the "Silicon Corridor" because of the density of technology and corporate employers located along it. This corridor interconnects Basingstoke with the technology markets of Fleet, Camberley, and Farnborough to the northeast, and with Winchester and Southampton to the south. In-Demand IT Skills in Basingstoke Enterprise IT roles — infrastructure engineering, service management, ERP systems support (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics), and IT project management — are the most consistently available positions in Basingstoke's corporate technology market. Cloud migration and cloud operations roles are growing rapidly as major employers modernise their technology estates. Network engineering and security operations roles are well-represented given the defence sector presence. Business analysis, ITIL service management, and IT governance roles are regularly advertised. Salary Benchmarks IT salaries in Basingstoke are competitive relative to the regional market. Infrastructure engineers earn £40,000 to £60,000. Senior cloud and network engineers command £60,000 to £80,000. IT project managers earn £50,000 to £75,000. Security professionals earn £55,000 to £85,000 depending on clearance level. Contract day rates range from £350 to £600 for most IT disciplines, with clearance-required roles at the upper end. These rates, combined with significantly lower housing costs than London, make Basingstoke an attractive proposition for technology professionals at mid to senior career stages. Living and Working in Basingstoke Basingstoke offers a comfortable standard of living at moderate cost. Average house prices are substantially below London and generally below the South East average. The town has good schools, convenient retail, and easy access to the North Downs and Hampshire countryside. Its rail connections make London commuting feasible for those who need occasional access to the capital, while avoiding the daily cost and stress of a London commute. The Hampshire Technology Corridor Basingstoke professionals should explore the full Hampshire and South England technology corridor when considering career opportunities. IT jobs in Farnborough offer defence and aerospace specialisms just 20 minutes away. IT jobs in Southampton and IT jobs in Fareham provide further options southward along the M3 corridor. IT jobs in Newport on the Isle of Wight, accessible by ferry from Southampton, is also worth considering for professionals interested in defence and maritime technology roles.
IT Jobs in the City of London: Finance, Fintech and Technology Careers in the Square Mile Introduction The City of London is the financial heart of Europe, and for technology professionals, IT jobs in the City represent some of the most lucrative, technically demanding, and career-defining opportunities available anywhere in the world. Within the Square Mile and its immediately surrounding areas — Canary Wharf, Moorgate, Liverpool Street, and the wider EC and E1 postcodes — technology professionals work at the intersection of global finance and cutting-edge technology, supporting and building the systems that process trillions of pounds of transactions every day. Authority in the City's technology sector flows from technical excellence, regulatory knowledge, and the proven ability to deliver in high-stakes, zero-tolerance environments. A software engineer who has built a latency-sensitive trading system that processes millions of orders per second, or a cybersecurity architect who has designed the security framework for a globally systemically important bank, carries professional credibility that opens doors throughout the financial services technology world. The City's Technology Landscape The City of London is home to the technology functions of the world's largest investment banks (Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Barclays, HSBC, Citi), global insurance markets (Lloyd's of London), major asset managers, hedge funds, and exchanges (London Stock Exchange Group, ICE). Alongside these established institutions, a rapidly growing fintech and regtech ecosystem has taken root in the surrounding streets, with companies such as Thought Machine, Pendo, and dozens of others occupying offices in Shoreditch, Moorgate, and the surrounding EC1 and EC2 postcodes. The financial services technology market is characterised by a dual structure: established institutions investing in legacy modernisation and digital transformation alongside nimble fintechs building greenfield platforms. Both models create rich and varied technology opportunities, from maintaining and extending critical mainframe and middleware systems to designing cloud-native microservices architectures on modern technology stacks. Most Valuable Technical Skills in Financial Services Technology Low-latency programming — C++, Java, and increasingly Rust — is the highest-paid technical specialism in the City, with quantitative developers and trading systems engineers regularly earning £120,000 to £200,000 and above. Python dominates in quantitative research, risk analytics, and data engineering. Java and Kotlin are the primary languages for core banking, payments, and middleware platforms. Scala is valued in data engineering at financial institutions that run Spark-based data platforms. Cloud migration and cloud-native development skills are in extraordinary demand as banks and insurers accelerate their cloud adoption programmes. AWS and Azure are the dominant platforms. Cybersecurity — particularly identity and access management, financial crime technology (AML, fraud), and security operations — is a growth area driven by both regulatory obligation and the scale of the threat landscape facing financial institutions. Regulatory Knowledge as a Career Differentiator Technology professionals who understand the regulatory environment in which financial services firms operate — MiFID II, DORA, PRA/FCA requirements, BCBS 239 data governance standards, FCA operational resilience frameworks — are significantly more valuable than those with technical skills alone. Business analysts, solution architects, and project managers who can engage confidently with compliance teams, legal counsel, and regulators are among the most sought-after professionals in the market. Salaries and Day Rates The City offers the highest IT salaries in the United Kingdom. Graduate technologists at major investment banks earn £55,000 to £75,000. Mid-level software engineers earn £80,000 to £110,000. Senior engineers and architects earn £110,000 to £160,000 with bonuses adding materially to total compensation. Quantitative developers and trading technology specialists earn £150,000 to £300,000 at the senior end. Contract rates for experienced City IT professionals range from £600 to £1,200 per day. Even at junior to mid levels, the City outpaces broader  IT jobs in London salary benchmarks by a meaningful margin, reflecting the complexity of the environment and the uncompromising standards expected of technology professionals operating within it.
IT Jobs in Farnborough: Defence, Aerospace and Technology Careers in Hampshire's Innovation Hub Introduction Farnborough is one of the United Kingdom's most strategically important technology employment locations, and professionals seeking IT jobs in Farnborough will discover a distinctive and highly specialised job market dominated by defence, aerospace, government, and advanced technology organisations. Home to the world-famous Farnborough Airshow, QINETIQ's technology headquarters, and the surrounding cluster of defence contractors and government agencies, Farnborough offers technology professionals access to some of the most complex, security-sensitive, and intellectually challenging projects in the UK. Authority in Farnborough's technology market flows through security clearance, domain expertise, and established relationships with the major defence and government contractors that anchor the local economy. The Farnborough IT professional who holds active SC or DV clearance and has deep expertise in defence systems, secure networks, or mission-critical software engineering is one of the most sought-after candidates in the entire UK technology market. Farnborough's Technology Ecosystem Farnborough is located in the Hart district of Hampshire, within easy reach of both London and the South Coast technology corridor. The Farnborough Business Park and surrounding area house a cluster of major technology and defence employers. QinetiQ — the defence technology company spun out of the former Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) — is the most prominent, employing thousands of scientists, engineers, and technology professionals across its Farnborough campus. Surrounding Farnborough, the Hampshire technology corridor encompasses Aldershot, Fleet, and connects westward toward Basingstoke and southward toward Fareham and Southampton. Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) partner organisations, MOD-aligned contractors, and major systems integrators such as Leonardo, Leidos, and Serco have significant presences in and around Farnborough. In-Demand IT Skills and Roles Systems engineering and software engineering for safety-critical and defence systems are the core technical disciplines in Farnborough's IT market. Ada, C, C++, and Java are commonly used languages in legacy and mission-critical defence systems, while Python and modern DevSecOps practices are increasingly adopted in newer programmes. Cybersecurity — particularly network security, penetration testing, and security architecture for classified environments — is in exceptionally high demand. Data science and AI applied to defence applications (predictive maintenance, image recognition, signals intelligence) is a fast-growing area of demand. Cloud engineering on government-approved platforms (including Crown Hosting and defence-accredited cloud environments) is increasingly relevant. IT project managers and programme managers with PRINCE2 and experience of MOD CADMID project lifecycles are consistently sought. Security Clearance: The Essential Requirement Security clearance is the defining characteristic of Farnborough's IT job market. Most roles require at minimum Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) checks; many require Security Check (SC) clearance, and a significant number of the most senior and sensitive roles require Developed Vetting (DV). Clearance processes take time — SC clearance typically takes two to six months from application — and candidates who already hold active clearance are at a significant advantage in competitive hiring processes. British nationality or the right to obtain security clearance is a prerequisite for the majority of roles. Candidates should be aware that their personal and professional history will be scrutinised as part of the vetting process, and that any material issues may disqualify them from roles requiring higher clearance levels. Employers generally support the clearance process for candidates who have been offered roles. Salaries and Contract Rates Farnborough IT salaries reflect the specialised nature of the work and the security clearance premium. Mid-level software engineers earn £55,000 to £75,000. Senior engineers and architects command £75,000 to £100,000. Security professionals with active DV clearance frequently earn £90,000 to £130,000 or more. Contract day rates for SC-cleared candidates range from £500 to £700 per day; DV-cleared specialists can command £700 to £900 per day. These rates position Farnborough among the highest-paying technology markets outside central London. The South Hampshire Technology Corridor Farnborough sits at the northern end of a rich technology employment corridor that extends southward through Hampshire. Professionals should also explore IT jobs in Basingstoke , IT jobs in Fareham , and IT jobs in Southampton for a comprehensive picture of the defence and technology opportunities available across this part of the South of England. IT jobs in London are also within practical commuting distance for Farnborough-based professionals, particularly given improvements in rail connections from Farnborough Main station.
IT Jobs in Sheffield: Technology Careers in South Yorkshire's Growing Digital Economy Introduction Sheffield is one of the UK's most exciting emerging technology cities, and professionals searching for IT jobs in Sheffield will find a market that combines genuine career opportunity with an outstanding quality of life at a fraction of the cost of London. The city has transformed its economic identity from its industrial steel heritage to a knowledge economy anchored by two world-class universities, a growing cluster of digital and technology businesses, and significant public sector investment in digital transformation. Authority in Sheffield's technology sector flows through the collaboration between its universities — the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam — and the private sector businesses that increasingly recruit from and partner with them. This ecosystem creates a steady pipeline of well-trained technology graduates who choose to remain in the city, supported by improving salaries, affordable living, and a vibrant cultural scene. Sheffield's Digital Economy Sheffield's technology scene is centred on the Digital Campus at Sheaf Square near the train station, which houses a growing number of digital agencies, software companies, and technology startups. The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) — a partnership between the University of Sheffield and industry partners including Boeing, Rolls-Royce, and McLaren — is at the cutting edge of manufacturing technology, creating demand for engineers, data scientists, and software developers with domain expertise in automation, robotics, and Industry 4.0. Healthcare technology is a growing sector in Sheffield, anchored by Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the academic health science work carried out in partnership with the university. Public sector digital — including the NHS, Sheffield City Council, and South Yorkshire regional bodies — generates consistent demand for business analysts, project managers, and software developers. Sheffield also has a growing games and creative technology industry. Most Sought-After IT Roles Software development roles — particularly in Java, Python, C#/.NET, and JavaScript — are the most consistently advertised IT jobs in Sheffield. Web developers and full-stack engineers are in demand at digital agencies and product companies. Data analysts and business intelligence developers are sought across the manufacturing, healthcare, and public sectors. IT support and infrastructure roles are available across Sheffield's diverse employer base. DevOps engineers and cloud specialists are increasingly in demand as Sheffield businesses accelerate cloud adoption. Salary Guide for Sheffield IT Professionals Sheffield IT salaries are highly competitive relative to the local cost of living. Junior developers typically earn £25,000 to £35,000. Mid-level software engineers earn £38,000 to £55,000. Senior developers and architects command £55,000 to £75,000. IT project managers earn £40,000 to £60,000. Data analysts and BI developers earn £35,000 to £55,000. While salaries are lower than in London in absolute terms, the significantly lower housing costs and cost of living make Sheffield an attractive proposition for technology professionals at all career stages. Why Sheffield is Attracting Technology Talent Sheffield consistently ranks highly for quality of life. The city is compact and walkable, with excellent public transport, a thriving independent food and culture scene, and immediate access to the Peak District National Park. Average house prices in Sheffield are a fraction of London equivalents, and the city offers a genuine community feel that many technology professionals find more conducive to long-term career building than the transient nature of London's job market. The city's universities attract students from across the UK and internationally, many of whom choose to remain in Sheffield after graduating — creating a talent pool that grows year on year. Employers who invest in Sheffield — offering competitive salaries, flexible working, and genuine career development — are finding that retention rates are significantly higher than in London, where competition for talent is fierce and staff turnover is correspondingly elevated. Sheffield in the Regional Context Sheffield sits at the heart of the Yorkshire and Humber technology region. Professionals who find Sheffield's market competitive may also consider IT jobs in Manchester , which offers a larger and more diverse technology market within easy commuting or relocating distance. For professionals open to the South of England's defence and technology corridor, IT jobs in Southampton and IT jobs in Bristol offer strong alternative markets with distinctive employer bases and competitive salary scales.

A strong LinkedIn profile, a well-maintained GitHub portfolio, and demonstrable experience of working at scale are the baseline requirements for standing out. Networking within London's active technology community — through meetups, conferences such as QCon London, and online communities — gives candidates access to roles that are never formally advertised. Hybrid working has become standard across most London IT employers following the shift normalised during the pandemic. Many roles offer two or three days per week on-site, making London's high cost of living more manageable for those commuting from lower-cost areas such as the Home Counties. Candidates from other UK technology cities are actively welcomed, and London employers frequently hire from strong regional markets. London vs Other UK Technology Cities London's scale is unmatched, but it is not the only option for UK IT professionals. IT jobs in Manchester and IT jobs in Bristol offer compelling alternatives for professionals who want technology careers without London's costs and commute pressures. The South of England's defence and aerospace technology corridor — encompassing IT jobs in Farnborough , IT jobs in Fareham , and IT jobs in Basingstoke — attracts professionals seeking security-cleared opportunities with major defence and technology contractors. Whatever your career goals, London's market sets the benchmark against which all other UK technology markets are measured.
Cyber Security Jobs in the UK: Career Paths, Certifications & the Talent Shortage Opportunity Introduction Cyber security jobs represent one of the most urgent talent priorities in the UK technology market. The UK Cyber Security Council and DCMS have repeatedly highlighted a significant skills gap: demand for cyber security professionals consistently outstrips supply, creating exceptional career opportunities for those with the right skills and mindset. From Security Operations Centre (SOC) analysts monitoring threats in real time to penetration testers probing for vulnerabilities, and CISO-level executives shaping enterprise security strategy, the cyber security career ladder is both deep and well-remunerated. Authority in cyber security flows from demonstrated competence and trust. The security professional who has caught a live intrusion, closed a critical vulnerability before it was exploited, or successfully led a security transformation programme carries the kind of organisational influence that takes years to earn in other disciplines — but can be built surprisingly quickly given the speed at which threats evolve. Key Roles Within Cyber Security Security Operations Centre (SOC) Analyst roles form the entry point for many cyber security careers. SOC analysts monitor security event logs, investigate alerts, perform initial triage, and escalate confirmed incidents. They work with SIEM platforms (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools. Penetration Testers (ethical hackers) simulate cyberattacks against clients' systems to identify vulnerabilities. They use tools such as Kali Linux, Burp Suite, Metasploit, and Nmap, and produce detailed reports documenting findings and remediation recommendations. Security Engineers design and implement security controls: firewalls, intrusion detection systems, identity and access management platforms, and encryption frameworks. Threat Intelligence Analysts research the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of threat actors and produce intelligence products that inform defensive strategy. Cloud Security Engineers specialise in securing cloud environments — a rapidly growing specialism as organisations migrate workloads to Azure, AWS, and GCP. Certifications That Open Doors CompTIA Security+ is the most widely recognised entry-level certification and appears as a minimum requirement in many SOC analyst and junior security engineer job descriptions. CompTIA CySA+ and PenTest+ provide mid-level validation. The OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional) is the gold standard for penetration testers and is highly valued by employers in the offensive security space. CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) is also recognised, though OSCP carries more weight in technical hiring. For cloud security, the AWS Certified Security Specialty and Microsoft SC-100 (Cybersecurity Architect Expert) are the leading credentials. CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) remains the pre-eminent qualification for senior security managers and architects. CISM (Certified Information Security Manager) is valued for those transitioning into security management roles. Salary and Market Conditions Junior SOC analysts typically earn £28,000 to £40,000. Mid-level security analysts and engineers earn £45,000 to £65,000. Senior security engineers and penetration testers command £65,000 to £85,000. Security architects and managers earn £80,000 to £110,000. CISOs at large organisations earn £120,000 to £200,000 or more. Contract penetration testers earn £500 to £850 per day. SC-cleared or DV-cleared security professionals working in government and defence are in exceptional demand and command premium rates. Breaking Into Cyber Security Many successful cyber security professionals enter through adjacent disciplines. Helpdesk jobs and IT engineering jobs https://www.itjobboard.co.uk/categories/355/engineering-jobs/ Cisco jobshttps://www.itjobboard.co.uk/categories/1229/cisco-jobs/ provide network knowledge that maps directly onto network security. Home lab practice — running TryHackMe, HackTheBox, or building a personal SIEM environment — is widely respected as evidence of genuine interest and self-directed learning. The combination of a relevant certification and documented practical experience is the most reliable path to landing a first cyber security role. The cyber security skills shortage means that motivated candidates with the right attitude and foundational skills are considered seriously even without extensive experience. Employers increasingly hire on potential and invest in training, particularly for SOC analyst roles.

Systems Analyst Jobs in the UK: Bridging Business and Technology for Strategic Advantage Introduction Systems analyst jobs occupy a critical position in the UK IT labour market. A systems analyst acts as the translator between the business — which has problems to solve and goals to achieve — and the technology teams that design and build the solutions. Without skilled systems analysts, technology projects frequently fail to deliver against user needs, budgets overrun, and adoption suffers. With them, organisations build the right things in the right way. Authority in systems analysis flows from intellectual rigour and trustworthiness. The systems analyst whose requirements documentation is thorough, whose process maps are accurate, and whose recommendations are consistently well-reasoned will be trusted by both business stakeholders and technical architects — a position of unusual influence in complex change programmes. Core Responsibilities A systems analyst investigates current IT systems and business processes, identifies inefficiencies and gaps, and recommends improvements or new solutions. They elicit requirements through interviews, workshops, and observation, then document them in formats that technical teams can work from — user stories, use cases, functional specifications, data flow diagrams, and process maps. They support solution design, test planning, implementation, and post-go-live review. Many systems analysts specialise by domain. Housing systems analysts (familiar with platforms like Civica Keystone, Totalmobile, and MRI Orchard) are in demand across local government and housing associations. Insurance systems analysts with knowledge of London Market platforms are valued in the City. ERP systems analysts specialising in SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics are perennially sought across manufacturing, retail, and financial services. Key Skills and Qualifications Requirements elicitation, process modelling (using BPMN or UML notation), and documentation are the bedrock skills of any systems analyst. Proficiency with tools such as Visio, Lucidchart, JIRA, and Confluence is expected. SQL knowledge is a significant advantage — analysts who can query databases directly to validate data quality or investigate system behaviour add immediate value that purely process-oriented analysts cannot match. Agile methodology familiarity is increasingly essential. Systems analysts who can write effective user stories, participate productively in sprint ceremonies, and manage a requirements backlog alongside a product owner are preferred over those who only operate in waterfall or sequential delivery models. BCS ISEB Business Analysis certification is respected by UK employers, as is the IIBA CBAP for more senior practitioners. Salary and Contract Market Junior systems analysts typically earn £30,000 to £42,000. Mid-level analysts command £45,000 to £60,000. Senior systems analysts and lead business analysts earn £60,000 to £80,000. Specialist domain analysts (London Market insurance, housing, financial services) often command premiums above these ranges. Contract rates range from £350 to £600 per day depending on domain, seniority, and whether SC clearance is required. SC-cleared systems analysts working on government technology programmes can command £600 to £700 per day. How Systems Analysis Connects to Other Roles Systems analysis is rarely a silo. Strong systems analysts naturally develop skills that translate into data analyst roles (data modelling, process analysis), business intelligence https://www.itjobboard.co.uk/categories/1226/business-intelligence-jobs/ management jobshttps://www.itjobboard.co.uk/categories/373/management-jobs/ (business analysis management, BA practice leadership). The breadth of the systems analyst skillset makes it one of the most versatile foundations for a long IT career.
