Senior BI Analyst – Tableau Location: Remote, UK based Salary: £55,000 – £65,000 + benefits.
How would you like to be part of the team that leads in cutting 8% of global emissions?
Leading more sustainable lives isn’t hard but changing behaviours can be.
This company have always been remote and does a lot to ensure their teams are genuinely happy working this way.
They do have a fast-paced environment, after all their work is urgent and the climate crisis isn’t yet slowing, but they’re super friendly and collaborative in their culture. Everyone is passionate about addressing social and environmental issues, compassionate and bought into having an impact.
You’ll be working with a technical team of around 30, where everyone contributes their ideas. Pair programming and knowledge sharing are common and shared goals for the platform centre around impact.
For this role, you’ll be working as part of a product team as a Senior BI specialist. The kinds of data you’ll be working with are very varied, but almost all of it will be related to the company’s mission of reducing consumption and waste and improving the lives of millions around the world.
It really is worthwhile work…I can’t stress this enough.
You’ll need a strong Tableau background, along with strong all-round SQL. Any Python and/or R experience would be useful, though the role will only involve moderate amounts of programming.
You’ll have some level of statistics and data analytics/science experience, along with Cloud (GCP ideally) and an appreciation of data warehousing/storage.
Above and beyond this though, you will have an interest in tackling the climate crisis and will love the idea of working for a company that is working to resolve it.
What’s in it for you? Well, the list is too long to fit here. Alongside a great salary, true flexibility to work how you like (abroad for 6 months?), timings that fit around your life, no clock-watching and real progression, you’ll be joining a company that is already changing the world and has its eyes set firmly on scaling their impact.
If this sounds appealing to you, please hit apply and let’s have a chat. ✊
Are you well-versed in IT Delivery? Are you able to manage a team and stakeholders without handholding? If so, read on as this may be the role for you!
Do you enjoy managing and mentoring staff, as well as having the capability to grow a team as the business requires? Yes, great, as you will be managing a small team of 2 and can lead from the front and pitch in to help staff resolve calls as required.
Communication skills are a must as in all honesty the length of time taken to resolve tickets due to growth is an issue. So, relationship building and providing realistic SLAs to the wider business is a must. This isn’t a slow-paced organisation, and you will thrive in a fast-paced environment and have experience working with numerous projects as required.
Experience with ensuring a company is ITIL compliant is a huge advantage, as they are looking to ensure that business is more compliant, and you will be at the forefront of ensuring that this happens. You will be able to develop and review KPIs in alignment with ITIL processes.
MS Office 365 will be your go too and if your head is in the Azure cloud then this is a bigger bonus.
However, if you have experience with other cloud providers, this isn’t a deal breaker. Intune, SharePoint and OneDrive will be your go-to tools. You won’t look at a ticket as a short-term fix, you will be looking at the bigger problem to see if this issue has a long-term fix.
If this sounds like the role for you, please get in touch. ✊
Liaising with finance or working with an ERP system, but fancied being a developer instead of an accountant? If so, read on! This may just be the role for you!
You will be the first Business Central Developer in the business, so you’ll have the opportunity to reshape and put procedures into place. I’m not going to lie, you will have to be prepared to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in as they have been using an outsourced company to fix the issues, and this will require you to look at the whole system and ensure that it is running smoothly.
Communication skills will be key as the department has been crying out for someone to listen to their needs and ensure that the system is fully functional for the business needs. Diplomacy will be key here.
If a challenge is what you are after this is a great opportunity, to tailor and redesign the system as required. There are lots of requirements to capture, as well as UX configuration, implementing new features and technical support elements.

Location: Nottinghamshire office. Hybrid working, ranging from twice per week up to once per month, depending on your preferences.
Salary: around £80k, there is wiggle room for the right candidate.
Do you love puzzles and seeing things fit together seamlessly?Have you been a Solutions Architect in an Architecture team and feel it’s about time you get yourself a new puzzle to solve?If you’re nodding along, then read on, my friend!
I am working with a lovely little company who are looking to expand its Architecture team’s capabilities by bringing you on board.
They are part of a bigger group of international companies that operate in the fabrication industry.
To have a great time in this role, you’ll be someone who has a stellar background in Microsoft web development with C#, .Net, SQL Server, and AWS. Not only that but, here is the crucial part, you’ll be a great communicator too.
Now, I know that ‘great communicator’ is a term that’s banded around so much that it loses its meaning, but in this case, I mean it.
You’ll be talking with lots of different people, from external senior stakeholders, internal stakeholders, your architecture team, product people and devs.
There is a lot of orchestrating, both technically – and naturally, it’s what you do! – and with the company and wider group.
Part of being a great communicator is the ability to be open-minded and respectful of different opinions when discussing solutions or other hot topics with others, and to be able to admit when you’re wrong, or someone else’s idea might fit the bill better. No big egos here, please!
Please note that I will only be able to consider you if you have experience as a solutions architect and have worked in a dedicated architecture team before. If you’re a technical architect looking for a step up into the next level of architecture, this role is not for you as this is essentially a role that their tech leads have covered.
This is a fab role that will see you influence their solutions architecture, improve their technical roadmap, and generally have a lot of say in how things are done. It’s a small team/ company so all the work you do will be seen and matter, but it comes with the security of being part of a larger group of companies.
There is also the opportunity to travel internationally with work too, which is always fun!
If you like the sound of this role, then either apply now for immediate consideration or drop me a line to find out more!
Location: East Midlands, fully remote with a monthly meeting in the East Midlands

Does making a difference matter to you? Does Education float your boat? If so, carry on reading.
For this role, it is crucial that you have worked in the Education sector within a school, preferably at Trust level, however, this is a nice to have, rather than a necessity.
You will be the first person in this role, so you have the opportunity to make this role your own and put your own processes in place. It is not very often that you get the opportunity to walk into a clean slate and have no one else’s shoes to fill.
You need to have a passion for data, as well as project implementations. You will be joining a small team, so a shrinking wallflower will not fit in, as you will need to ensure that your voice is heard, and your ideas and thoughts will be listened too.
The following experience is essential:
3 years experience working as a Data Manager in a school
Understanding the data requirements of a school and multi academy trusts
Knowledge of data tracking and analysis
An interest in software products and technical concepts

Conservation Tech Lead – Ruby on Rails & JavaScript
Location: Cambridge, hybrid – 2 days per month on-site
Salary: Up to £70K + 12% pension
Biodiversity is finally raising the agenda globally, following various agreements made at BioCOP15 in Canada in late 2022.
Monitoring and reporting financial disclosures and their impacts on nature will be compulsory for many large companies from early 2024, particularly those extracting resources, developing land or providing finance.
Working for a conservation partnership of 4 organisations this role will be working on a geospatial mapping tool which tracks biodiversity over land and oceans. The usership has doubled in the last 18 months with no signs of slowing. The platform is also used by conservation partners and governments to allow for more robust decision-making and policy creation.
You’ll work predominantly with Ruby on Rails and JavaScript to build new features, taking some ownership of design and architecture as you grow into the position and learn how your team work best. They use PostgreSQL and have lots of APIs which require maintenance.
Interestingly, you’ll have the best of several worlds in this role, being employed by a charity with a large broader tech team and a strong support network, events and workshops for upskilling and a wonderful culture, while being embedded in a specific product team.
You’ll manage around 4 people, though this will likely grow to ~7 in the next year. You’ll take ultimate responsibility for the platform, including touching on things like security, testing, documentation and coaching your team, though there are colleagues across the partnership who can support in areas outside of your skillset, e.g., security.
As the tool is geospatial / mapping focused, any experience using or building GIS tools will be hugely beneficial. Knowledge of conservation, rewilding, ecology, biodiversity, or any field within environmental science will also stand out, as will a demonstrable passion for tackling the climate crisis.
The team needs a leader with experience, someone who can manage resources, assess future priorities and requirements, identify gaps within the team skills matrix and maintain calm when deadlines are looming. This platform is the authoritative tool in the sector globally, and the aim is to maintain that prestige and impact.
So, if you’re serious about saving our planet and turning the tide against the fight to fix our climate crisis, this is a role you should apply for.

I’m currently hiring for a Software Tester with a software solutions company based in Nottingham (once a week in the office, 4 days WFH).
The team is a collaborative, fun group of tech enthusiasts who come together to create software magic! They’re a dynamic and diverse team of problem solvers, creative thinkers, and coffee aficionados, united by their love for cutting-edge technologies and exciting projects.
As a veteran Software Tester, you’ll be diving deep into software, not only from a front and back-end point of view but also performing both automated and manual testing on the various software & mobile applications (training will be provided for automation).

Have you been working in a corporate hellscape for a year or two, dreaming of joining a start-up company right from the beginning where you can learn ALL THE THINGS, have built-in career progression, and ABSOLUTELY NO LEGACY CODE?
Well, this is not a dream, this is a reality- welcome to your new role!
I have partnered with a brand new fintech start-up company, which is currently sitting at a handful of people but with an impressive network around the founders, consisting of industry leaders with loads of knowledge of the fintech space. This is a great point to take note of because it mitigates a lot of the risk that would usually be associated with joining a start-up from the ground up!
They are looking for their second developer to hire, to join their CTO and senior developer.
They are sticking closely to the Microsoft web stack and solely on back-end development as the front end is taken care of, so you’ll need to have a background with the following tech to be right for this:
C#
.Net Core/6/7
Azure
SQL Server
Agile/ TDD/ best practice (SOLID, design patterns)
Whilst a solid foundation of technical skill is naturally needed for the role, your personality, communication, enthusiasm and desire to learn are going to be paramount to your success here; you’ll need to want to get stuck into anything and everything, be eager to learn loads, and have bags of ambition to be the best developer you can be!

Location: Office based 3-4 days a week, near Warwickshire/Leamington Spa
Salary: £25k – £29k + 10% bonus, 25 days holiday, generous pension, and more
Working hours: 37.5 hours, Mon-Fri 8 am-4.30 pm.
Since a young age, you’ve always found yourself drawn to technology. Whether it was building your PC, overengineering your home network (because you can) or even solving other people’s IT problems, often for free.
All because you love technology.
But, unlike some of your peers you know that, deep down, you are a people person at heart.
You’re probably working for an MSP on a mind-numbing service desk or in a break/fix role, doing stuff you think is child’s play.
Or if not an MSP, then maybe another structured service desk environment, but you love the idea of going somewhere with real career progression, and a chance to actually work *inside* a company, one that is part of one of the UK’s fastest-growing groups.
You’ll enjoy working here because:
The internal culture is legendary – they all look out for each other.
Your manager will push you to grow and develop your knowledge and career.
They are undertaking major IT work, which means for a bright thing such as yourself there will be plenty of opportunities to learn and gain exposure.
Everyone will love you – they are crying out for a superstar tech support to come along and make everyone’s life easier – this is absolutely not a role where you are just another number.
The benefits are excellent, including a 10% bonus.
This company employ about 400 people and has a small in-house team of IT specialists. You will work with the IT manager to support the company’s IT needs remotely and in person.
It’s a 1st/2nd line role, so whilst you won’t be expected to deal with high-level issues (they have an outsourced partner to assist with trickier issues), you will be working very independently.
If you prefer to work in a team of IT professionals all sitting together in the same office this role won’t be for you.
You’ll be office-based four days a week in Warwickshire, but your manager will probably only be in once a week – the rest of the week you will be working under your own steam and doing on-site work with users.
You will be responsible for supporting and setting up all laptops, PCs and peripheral devices. You’ll be supporting Azure/Active Directory, undertaking network support (WAN/LAN/Switches/Routers etc.) and doing some basic server support on-premises and in the cloud (Azure). You’ll ideally have 2 years of experience in a commercial IT support role, with a strong, broad Microsoft background.
You will need to be able to drive to commute to their office 3-4 days a week.
On offer is a basic salary between £25k – £29k + 10% bonus, 25 days holiday, generous pension, discounted gym membership, health/life insurance and more.
The client that I’m working is not your average tech company. They are a crew of digital pioneers. People who are true experts in their field – ‘average’ doesn’t happen on their watch.
As a Network Support Engineer, you’ll be one of their heroes behind the scenes, ensuring their network thrives and thrives. Here’s what you’ll be diving into:
Network Ninja: Your networking expertise is second to none, with hands-on experience in a variety of real-world networks, especially with Cisco routers and switches.
Internet Maestro: You’re not just a network pro; you’re a wizard in internet infrastructure tech. DNS, DHCP, IPAM (bonus points if you know DDI appliances) and web caching (especially with Squid) are your domain. Or, if you’re an HTTP aficionado, we want to hear from you!
Linux Lover: They’re big fans of Linux and would prefer you are too! Fluency with Linux is a big plus.
Command-Line Magician: Command-line tools are your trusty sidekicks, helping you tackle daily tasks, manage files and machines, and troubleshoot with ease.
What’s in It for You:
A competitive salary of up to £50,000.
A vibrant and innovative work environment where your tech brilliance will be allowed to shine.
To apply, send your CV (and a brief cover note ideally) to Yas @ Rebel Recruiters for a guaranteed personal response.
Are you passionate about conservation and the power of technology? If so, we’re on the lookout for a skilled Backend Python Developer to contribute towards building a sustainable future for the business world.
This role is being offered up by a global data centre that believe in harnessing the potential of technology to advance biodiversity research and conservation efforts. The Digital Transformation team is at the forefront of innovation, leveraging Azure’s cloud infrastructure to build robust data pipelines that enable the analysis and interpretation of complex biological data for big businesses around the world. This is the team that you’ll be joining!
As a Backend Python Developer within the digital infrastructure team, you will play a pivotal role in designing, developing, and maintaining the data pipelines in Azure. Although the company isn’t primarily a Python house now, this role is a corridor for more Python projects, and they’re hoping to build out a team of Python developers soon!
You’ll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of biologists, data scientists and software engineers to create solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Here’s some expected responsibilities for this role:
Design and implement scalable and efficient web APIs using Python in an Azure environment.
Deliver on web applications in time and within budget.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand data requirements and ensure seamless integration of data pipelines and interfaces.
Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies to continuously enhance each products’ capabilities.
In terms of who I’m looking for, someone with these skills would be perfect:
Strong proficiency in Backend Python development (2-3+ years)
Experience with Azure services, particularly in building and deploying data pipelines (if you’ve used AWS and have knowledge of Azure, that’s cool too)
Ideally some knowledge of data modelling, ETL processes, and database management, although this isn’t a dealbreaker.
Familiarity with biodiversity data or a keen interest in the field is a plus.
Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
Willing to travel into the office twice a month.
The office is based in Cambridge, and they’re looking for someone to come into the office twice a month for team events and get togethers. They’re looking to pay up to £44K for this role, so ideally someone mid-level with some experience to their belt would be great!

Biodiversity is taking a beating at the hands of human expansion.
There are lots of ways technology can be utilised to help, rather than hinder, nature and our environment to prevent mass extinctions and nature loss.
This organisation works with governments, institutes, companies, and orgs globally to build and implement solutions that improve outcomes.
From maintaining critical databases and expanding data services to delivering detailed insights and modelling. Or building tools for niche purposes, such as utilising remote sensors to track the growth of reforestation and using Geographic Information Systems to improve planning efficiency.
Governments are scrambling to understand how valuable biodiversity is and how it intersects with their economic plans, questioning whether a diverse forest is more commercially or socially valuable than an oil rig or palm oil plantation. How do you even measure that?
The aim [of the organisation] is to be more proactive in creating software and services that others can use and feed into to better deliver on their goals.
That means being more proactive in delivering software, websites, and mobile apps and coaching or supporting their somewhat junior team to avoid technical debt and reach go-live for various projects on time, enabling people to make the change that’s needed.
A lot of their projects have geospatial and mapping elements, so experience with GIS tools and PostgreSQL is handy. Their software is built with Ruby on Rails and JavaScript, VueJS and Nuxt specifically, so experience with one of those is a must. They also use Python, MySQL, GraphQL MapBox, Esri and GitHub, working in an Agile environment.
As a senior dev, you’ll have a small team of 2-6 people whom you support, depending on your preferences, coaching them and doing code reviews, pair programming and testing so they can see and learn from how you and others tackle problems.
You’ll get involved in some more complex tasks like discussions on architecture and tooling, estimations for projects, resource management, and assigning tasks within your team.
They’ll support you in your development, too. It’s not just about what you can give, they’ll ask what you need to progress too. Whether that’s paying for courses, textbooks, or conference tickets – if you think of it, they’ll consider it, genuinely.
You’ll work with scientists and researchers and all kinds of interesting stakeholders to design, build and implement tools. The people here are exceptionally passionate so will chart their own path where possible. You’ll facilitate some of that and be able to do the same.
If you’re serious about saving our planet this is definitely the role you should apply for.
