Building on the first webinar in our series, where we understood why and how the demand for data-driven specialists is growing, this time we’re going to explore what a data role practically looks like in the day-to-day.

We’ll be hearing from talent and industry professionals, who will outline the look and feel of a day in the life of a data specialist; explore the challenges, relationships and opportunities that arise.
