A key outcome will be to provide strategic and pragmatic insights regarding different platforms and estates which will be used to help shape future planning and direction. You will be working within one of our consulting teams composed of other OC technical architects and senior technologists. This role will suit someone with broad experience within data and the surrounding ecosystem. As this role requires extensive engagement with C-level executives, exceptional communication skills and strong business acumen are essential.

Responsibilities:

  • Strong (proven) experience in Databricks and GCP, in particular the Vertex AI platform, knowing best practice and able to recommend strategies for effective adoption.
  • Experience with MLOps, preparing training data sets, training process, model selection and deployment.

Required Skills:

With a solid and deep understanding of:

  • Data platform architecture and different use cases and topologies.
  • Standard technologies which can be used for target use cases (ingestion, orchestration, compute, etc.).
  • Ability to help define high-level standardised processes for all parts of the data lifecycle (from acquisition and storage all the way through to reporting and compute/analytics).
  • An understanding of the modern data and analytics toolchains, from Python notebooks and data ingestion/ETL/ELT tooling along with standard/enterprise reporting tools and platforms (for example - but not restricted to - Looker Studio, Power BI, Alteryx, Tableau).

You will:

  • Work with some of the most exciting new technologies.
  • Engage at a senior level across a group of insurance companies.
  • Work with driven consultants who are keen to learn and also deliver the best outcomes for the customer.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
