For the first time ever, all 3 UK Armed Forces have joined together in their recruitment. Join TMP and help deliver groundbreaking, award-winning, multi-channel brand and recruitment marketing solutions for the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Airforce.
As part of a Serco-led consortium, TMP has been awarded the contract to deliver all marketing for UK Armed Forces recruitment. This joint initiative is known as the Armed Forces Recruitment Service (AFRS). Running until 2037, this contract offers an unrivalled opportunity to make a long-term, positive impact on the UK Armed Forces – and help transform the defence of the nation.
It means having the very best data and analytical expertise in place to drive insight-led strategy, campaign performance, and evidence-based decision-making. And that's where we need you.
The Role
You'll be acting as the key link between marketing and candidate data held within TeamSerco, where you'll ensure insights, performance metrics and forecasting are shared across the TMP AFRS team. And your work won't stop there – it'll underpin the success of the recruitment strategy throughout the life of the AFRS contract.

Champion a culture of data performance across the TMP AFRS team
Serve as the go-to person for tracking and reporting campaign and marketing performance
Who we're looking for
A confident analyst and storyteller, you're equally comfortable deep in the data or presenting to senior stakeholders. With a sharp analytical mind and a structured approach, you know how to turn complex datasets into insight-led strategies that drive performance. You're curious, proactive, and collaborative. Someone who can navigate complexity, challenge thinking, and inspire confidence in a data-driven approach to marketing.
You'll bring:

  • 3+ years' experience in data analysis within marketing or digital analytics
  • A track record of building and implementing measurement frameworks across multi-channel campaigns
  • Strong skills in creating dashboards and reports that are clear, concise, and client-ready
  • Confidence working with cross-channel data, including SEO/SEM, paid media, social and email metrics

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
