Expression of Interest – Skills Coach (Data)

Following the successful launch of Babington's Business Data Essentials programme, we are inviting expressions of interest from experienced data professionals who are passionate about developing others and supporting learners to build confidence and capability in data-driven roles.

In today's fastmoving business environment, data is no longer the responsibility of analysts or senior leaders alone. It is a critical decisionmaking tool at every level of an organisation. From frontline employees to executive teams, the ability to interpret and apply data is now a defining factor in business success.

The next phase of this evolution is clear: empowering every role with the skills and confidence to use data effectively.
