Business Intelligence Developer

Behind the scenes, our ICT team keeps this ambitious, multi-site organisation running and evolving. Sitting within our ICT Partnership & Development function, you'll join a collaborative team that works across every corner of SMG - from finance, retail and ticketing to fundraising, collections and visitor experience - turning operational data into trusted insight that shapes real decisions. It's a team where curiosity is genuinely valued, where you'll partner directly with stakeholders across all five museums, and where the work you do helps some of the UK's best-loved cultural institutions do theirs. About the role This role supports the continued delivery of business intelligence, reporting, data integration and systems improvement across SMG. It helps colleagues turn operational data into reliable insight, supports data-driven decision making, and contributes to the development of joined-up services across departments. There is a focus on finance, retail, customer relationship management, ticketing, fundraising and visitor-giving, but also collections, HR, payroll, enterprise IT service management, estates and other core business systems. The role will protect and grow critical capability in business intelligence, enterprise data platforms, cloud integration technologies, Extract, Transform and Load (ETL), Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), Enterprise IT Service Management, Microsoft 365 administration, low-code application development and wider cross-system data flows. Working with ICT colleagues, business stakeholders and suppliers, the postholder will support and deliver practical reporting and data solutions, support process improvement and automation, and help strengthen documentation, knowledge transfer and supportability for the services they develop or maintain. This is a 12-month fixed term contract, based at the Science Museum, London.

We are keen to see applications from candidates who bring strong data analysis and business intelligence experience, paired with a real feel for what good data looks like. You'll understand sound data structure and know how to interrogate information critically - asking probing questions, challenging anything that doesn't look right, and thinking ahead to what a solution will need to do six months down the line, not just today. Just as important as your technical ability is your understanding of the business processes that sit behind the data. You'll be a natural "data ambassador" - someone who takes the time to understand how teams work, and who helps colleagues across the organisation see what their data can do for them. Stakeholder engagement will be central to your role, and you'll be a confident, credible partner to teams across finance, retail, CRM, ticketing and fundraising, translating their needs into practical, supportable solutions. You'll be skilled at data visualisation, able to design clear, user-focused dashboards and reports that make complex information accurate and accessible - whatever the platform. Coding is part of this role too, so you'll be comfortable using programming to interact with APIs and move data between systems as part of your day-to-day work. Finally, it would be great - though not essential - if you bring experience of Tessitura and its database structure (or a similar CRM and ticketing platform), or broader software development experience Don't feel you meet all the criteria? We welcome you to apply even if your experience doesn't match directly. With your transferable skills, you could be the right candidate for this, or other opportunities that we have.
