You're working across different projects and industries, with the freedom to steer your own career based on where your strengths lie. There's a good balance of deep technical work and client-facing delivery, and you'll get real exposure to a wide range of tools, platforms and environments rather than repeating the same patterns on the same stack. Interested? If you hold active DV Clearance and want a role where you can design, influence and deliver real data platforms across secure programmes, it's worth a conversation. Get in touch and I'll give you the full picture. Salary: £90,000 - £100,000 + bonus + benefits Location - London / Bristol / Manchester / Belfast (hybrid) - 2 days a week in any of their offices.
