Data Analytics Coach & Applied AI Specialist

This is a varied, fast-paced role for someone who loves data, AI and helping people learn. No two weeks look the same: one day you’re delivering to your Data Analytics Level 4 cohort of learners, the next you’re building a Power BI dashboard, automating a process, or designing a new curriculum. This is a 24-month fixed-term contract. Your time splits roughly half and half:

• 50% coaching: delivering our Agored Cymru Level 4 Data Analytics apprenticeship, mainly remotely through online group sessions and one-to-ones, with some travel to apprentices’ workplaces across Wales.
• 50% data and AI specialist: our in-house data expert, improving how we use data across the business, and part of our Data & AI team designing courses for clients and apprentices.

The AI side is applied AI: using tools like Claude and Copilot, building simple automations, AI governance and course design. This is not a data science or machine learning role, so you won’t need to build models.

You don’t need a teaching or assessing background. We’ll fund your assessor qualification and support you as you develop as a coach.
