Data and Analytics Graduate Programme

Join the teams that manage data and transform it into actionable information across Sky. Creating new products. Exploring new markets. Innovating ways to communicate with our customers. You can even help predict what the future of our multi-billion-pound business looks like.

On our Data and Analytics Programme, you’ll spend two years taking on varied roles, rising to unique challenges, and working on the kind of exciting projects you just don’t find anywhere else. All while discovering first-hand how we bring millions of people the entertainment they know and love.

And the best thing is you don’t have to specialise too soon. Instead, you get to experience everything that makes data and analytics special at Sky before deciding on the area that’s right for you.

What you’ll be doing

Across two years, you’ll progress through four different rotations; rising to exciting and complex challenges you won’t find anywhere else. There are opportunities to join teams from Econometrics to Advanced Analytics and from Digital Decisioning to Applied Data Science. You can gain exposure across the full spectrum of data analysis and data science.

At the same time, you’ll get to work alongside lots of great people. Develop amazing data and analytical skills. Take your ideas all the way through to testing. And help shape where our multibillion-pound business goes next.

What we’re looking for

You're a graduate from any degree discipline or soon will be. You’re likely to have studied maths, statistics, economics, physics or be able to demonstrate your understanding of the use of data through personal or university projects. We’re interested in your passion for data and the drive and ambition you can bring to the team.

Other skills you may have include:

• Logical, end to end thinker
• An enthusiastic problem-solver, with numerical, presentation and IT skills
• Enjoy task-focused delivery, a fast-paced environment and overcoming challenges
• Collaborative, great with people and keen on following recent trends in the market.

Right to Work

To be eligible for this role, you are required to have the appropriate right to work in the UK by the start date of the programme.

Your application journey

Step 1 – Submit your application.

We’ll ask for your details, academic information, and anything else you think would be relevant, such as work experience.

Once your application has been submitted, you’ll be invited to complete our immersive digital assessments. This may land in your junk folder, so remember to check it.

Step 2 – Complete our two online digital assessments.

These look at your Sky fit and your business fit. Why not pop onto our dedicated Preparation Hub to familiarise yourself with some of these digital assessments before completing them.

You’ll also have the opportunity to practice each of these assessments beforehand, so please read our email instructions carefully. We’ve added some tips to help you along the way.

Step 3 – Attend our virtual assessment centre

For the final stage of your application, we’ll invite you to our virtual assessment centre and give you some tasks to get to know you better. The day will give you a practical insight into what it’s like to work in Data and Analytics and will assess your aptitude for this programme.

Once you’ve completed your assessment day, we’ll let you know when you can expect to hear back from us.

Reasonable adjustments – if you need us to make any adjustments to help you complete any stage of your application, let us know when you submit it and someone from our Early Careers team will get in touch.

Where developing you begins

Enjoy an action-packed, learning experience with us as part of your graduate programme. We’ll help you grow into a great future leader, with the right tools and support.

You’ll also get access to Sky Learn. Our new, group-wide learning platform, bringing all content under one roof, so developing new skills is simpler for everyone. You can search by skill and find courses, videos, podcasts and more, giving you greater control over your own development and future career.

Our support doesn’t end there. You’ll join a cohort of grads on the same journey as yourself and we’ve also got an Emerging Talent community setup to support early talent in Sky. They host regular events and talks on topics important to young people starting their career journeys.

Inclusion is important

It’s our people that make Sky Europe’s leading entertainment company. That’s why we work hard to be an inclusive employer, so everyone at Sky can be their best. CVs aren’t everything. We’re more focused on who you are and the potential what you’ll bring to Sky.

We celebrate diversity because different people, with different perspectives make Sky a better business. Our customers are incredibly diverse, so we should be, too.

So why wait?

Our graduate programme is designed to put you at the centre of the action. You’ll learn, grow and help make the magic of Sky happen. Whatever your background, skills or passions, there’s an opportunity for you to explore. A career at Sky is where better begins.

If you are successful in your application for this programme, your appointment will be subject to receiving a positive outcome from your Criminal Record Check.
