This presentation was give in 4th June 2024 for Bristol Data Week's Career's in Data Science session. In this talk, I present some of the research from our Skills Policy Award Project - Professionalising traditional and infrastructure research roles in data science. I present a case for a move away from the current unhelpful and misleading narrative around data science roles dominated by the 'the data scientist' to the much more realistic 'data science team' made up of individuals performing diverse roles with specialised skills to enable more impact and greater sustainability for data science research. I also introduce our new project 'People in Data' that aims to convene an open community of data professionals, which promotes a culture that values and prioritises data and recognises people that work in data roles as essential to research.
