The Data Dig The Data Dig

Greg and Kelly chat to Sanjeevan Bala, Group Chief Data & AI Officer at ITV, and former Head of Data Science at Channel 4. Sanjeevan explains why decoding a company's culture is key to data success, how to set the right targets for a company's data function, and how to sell stakeholders on what data can do.

Kelly and Greg are back, and they have questions: What's a data product? What's a data product manager? Is their special guest one? Yes, she is! Georgie Peake, Data Product Manager at Filtered, talks you through those questions and more, breaking down what a data product manager does, why their skillset is important, and how their work can make businesses better.

Kelly talks to Katie Russell, Data Director at OVO, to learn more about her career, and how companies can empower women to succeed in data science. Kelly and Katie discuss evidence-based approaches to inclusivity, finding mentors within your company, and succeeding as a female data leader.

Building a diverse team isn’t just moral — it makes good business sense, too. Evidence suggests that teams from different backgrounds, and with different opinions, punch above their weight. So how do you build (and retain) a diverse data science team? Kelly and Greg show you how to minimise bias in hiring, make employees feel secure when voicing different opinions, and foster a culture that helps your data team make the best decisions possible.

'Machine Learning Engineer' is a pretty new job title, but demand for these mysterious maestros is stronger than ever. So what (if anything) makes them distinct from data scientists — and what sort of company would benefit most from hiring one? Join Greg and Kelly as they dig into what makes ML engineers unique.

So you want to get a job in data science — where do you start? Kelly and Greg guide you through every step, from finding the right job and polishing your CV to acing interviews and negotiating better terms. Tune in for the skinny on how to land your perfect role.
