IO Sphere | London preferred, UK-wide considered | Hybrid | Full-time or part-time
You've built dashboards that people actually use, written SQL that answered real business questions, and turned messy data into clear stories that drove decisions. You know the difference between analysis that sits in a folder and analysis that changes how a team operates.
Now you want to do something different with your skills — coaching working professionals to become confident, credible analysts.
You bring the analytics expertise. If you haven't coached before, we'll train you. Full-time or part-time, London or elsewhere in the UK — we want to hear from you.
About iO-Sphere
Traditional training is broken. People finish courses with theory but no real capability — the experience gap. We solve that.
At iO-Sphere, learners don't sit through lectures. They come to work in PRISM, our fully simulated company with 500m+ rows of real data, where they tackle realistic business problems and build practical skills they can use immediately. Combined with high-touch coaching from people who've actually done the work, we deliver real capability development — not just content consumption.
We also know that technical skills alone don't make someone great at their job. That's why our programmes develop the full skill set: analytical thinking, problem-solving, business acumen, communication, and professional skills. We're training people to be effective in the workplace, not just pass a test.
We're one of the UK's fastest-growing Data & AI training companies, and we're building something genuinely different.
The Team & Culture
Our coaching team is exceptional — former data scientists, analytics directors, engineers, and AI practitioners who decided to do something different with their expertise. You'd be joining a high-performing, tight-knit group that takes ownership, holds itself to a high bar, and has a lot of fun doing it.
We value people who take responsibility, move fast, and care deeply about learner outcomes. If you thrive with autonomy and want your ideas to actually get implemented, you'll fit right in.
The Impact
We're rated 4.9 stars on Google — and that's because of our coaches. You'll watch people transform from uncertain to confident, from struggling with Excel to presenting insights to their leadership team. The feels never get old. That's what makes it all worth it.
We're also at an inflection point. 700+ learners trained, real momentum, and 2026 is when we scale — new programmes, new products, bigger team. If you want to join something early and grow with it, this is the time.
What You'll Do
Coach working professionals through our Data Analytics programme. These are ambitious people who want to become the go-to analyst in their organisation — turning data into insights that drive smarter decisions. The programme covers Excel, SQL, Python, and Power BI, but it's not just about the tools. You'll also coach on analytical problem-solving, critical thinking, communicating insights, and building business acumen — the skills that separate good analysts from great ones.
Day-to-day, this means:
* Delivering engaging, practical coaching sessions on analytics tools and thinking
* Guiding learners through PRISM-based projects using real, messy data
* Providing clear, constructive feedback on dashboards, SQL, analysis, and how they communicate their findings
* Coaching on the soft stuff too — critical thinking, stakeholder communication, professional presence
* Running 1:1 coaching conversations that build confidence and momentum
* Tracking learner progress and intervening early when someone's struggling
* Maintaining accurate records and evidence (we're regulated, so organisation matters)
* Collaborating with the wider coaching and quality teams
Shape the programme as you deliver it. These programmes are new and evolving. You'll have real input into quality and execution — if you see a better way to teach something, we want to hear it and we'll actually implement it.
Work across different programme types. Beyond skills-levy programmes, you'll also coach on our applied diplomas and commercial training — different learner types, fresh challenges, and variety you won't get elsewhere.
Get involved as we grow. We're launching new products throughout 2026, and there's real opportunity to contribute beyond your core coaching role.
Why This Isn't Like Other Coaching Jobs
* Tech-first = less admin, more coaching. Our systems handle the paperwork so you spend time with learners, not drowning in compliance busywork.
* High-quality product. You're delivering something well-designed that actually works — not apologising for broken curriculum.
* Room to build. Programmes are fresh. You're not just following a script; you're helping make it better.
You'll Succeed Here If You Have
Must have:
* Hands-on analytics experience: SQL, Excel, data visualisation (Power BI preferred) — applied to real business problems
* Track record of turning data into insights that drove decisions
* Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills (you'll be developing these in others)
* Ability to explain analytics concepts to non-technical people without dumbing them down
* You genuinely enjoy working with people and get energy from helping others succeed
Right mindset:
* Takes ownership and follows through
* Eye for improvement — you notice what could be better
* Organised and reliable (we're regulated training, so this matters)
* Comfortable in a fast-moving environment
No teaching qualifications required. If you haven't coached before, we'll train you and support you in gaining formal qualifications as part of your development.
