Role

This is a 12 month fixed term contract role.

The strategy analytics team works closely with strategy, strategic finance and executive stakeholders to support on strategic projects and company level reporting.

This includes leading on company level metrics, translating ambiguous strategic questions into practical analysis and communicating these results to a senior set of stakeholders. This is to ensure that the management team has a strong basis of understanding of company performance based on data. It is also to ensure we are able to make accurate and timely forecasts of company performance and be able to explain deviations in a structured way. Finally, it is to ensure that senior stakeholders are supported with their strategic questions with well articulated analysis. These are all in the support of making the best strategic decisions to enable the company to deliver on user experience and business goals.

This role requires a high level of independence and working directly with senior stakeholders to solve challenging strategic problems. Expertise in choosing the right method from a broad set of analytical methods under the constraints of time and data availability is crucial.

Responsibilities

  • Strategic Analysis: work closely with the S&O, Strategic Finance and Exec teams to lead analytics on ambiguous strategic questions with a high level of independence, including supporting special projects. This will sometimes require expansion of responsibilities into new domains and supporting new growth opportunities and/or cross functional teams.
  • Lead company level reporting: lead on executing the monthly and quarterly company level reporting. This will require a combination of building core Looker and Slide outputs as well as efficient short deep dives into key trends, risks and opportunities.
  • Finance team support: be a go-to contact in the Insights team for the finance team.
  • Collaborate with product teams: this role will likely require adaptability to work directly with product teams to help with discrete analysis.

Requirements

  • Exemplary problem solving skills, with particular strength in creating meaningful analysis from ambiguous questions.
  • Strong competency in verbal and written communication of results to a wide variety of stakeholder levels.
  • A high degree of independence and ability to manage upwards to senior stakeholders.
  • Ability to build relationships across a wide range of stakeholder teams and leverage their knowledge to answer higher level strategic questions.
  • Thrives when working across multiple projects.
  • Aptitude and resourcefulness to work in new domains.
  • Expertise in SQL and the ability to work with large datasets.
  • Expertise in visualisation tools like Looker or Tableau.
  • Experience in Python and command over ETL scripts.
  • Deep commercial awareness and a proactive attitude to make a difference and drive impact.
  • Demonstrates ownership over more complex projects and expertise in prioritising their own work.

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three years. Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
