Stealth eCommerce Startup

I'm working with a well-funded stealth startup in the eCommerce space that's gearing up for a big launch. They're building a platform that rethinks how online retail works, with data and experimentation at the core of their approach.

They're now hiring a Data Science Manager to take ownership of the data science function. This is a hands-on role with leadership responsibility, ideal for someone who enjoys building and mentoring teams but still wants to stay close to delivery.

You'll be working across key areas like forecasting, marketing performance, customer segmentation and personalisation. A big focus in the early stages will be shaping and improving their marketing mix using Meta's Robyn, so experience using or managing teams that have worked with Robyn is important.

They're also looking for someone with a solid grasp of MLOps principles to help productionise models and maintain performance over time. Their stack includes GCP, so experience working in that environment would be a big plus.

What they're looking for:

  • Hands-on experience in data science, ideally within eCommerce, marketing science or another consumer-focused space

  • Proven ability to lead or mentor a data team while staying involved in day-to-day technical work

  • Strong Python and SQL skills, with experience building models, running experiments and influencing business decisions

  • Experience with Robyn (Meta's open-source MMM tool) or managing teams who have used it commercially

  • Exposure to MLOps tooling and workflows, including monitoring, deployment and versioning

  • Experience deploying on a cloud environment

  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving, early-stage environment

This is a rare chance to build something from the ground up and shape how data is used across product and growth. You'll be working closely with engineering, marketing and the founding team to scale a modern, data-first platform.

The team is based in Manchester and works flexibly, typically spending a couple of days a week in the office. The culture is collaborative, ambitious and focused on solving real problems with smart, pragmatic solutions.

If this sounds like something you'd like to hear more about, feel free to get in touch. Happy to share more detail.

How to Get a Better Machine Learning Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in machine learning can feel especially frustrating when your role was technically advanced, strategically important, or AI-facing. But the UK still has strong demand for machine learning professionals across fintech, healthtech, retail, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and generative AI. Whether you're a research-oriented ML engineer, production-focused MLOps developer, or applied scientist, this guide is designed to help you bounce back from redundancy and find a better opportunity that suits your goals.

Machine Learning Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Figure Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey is useless for UK ML professionals today Ask a Machine Learning Engineer wrangling transformer checkpoints, an MLOps Lead firefighting drift alarms, or a Research Scientist training diffusion models at 3 a.m.: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer changes monthly. A single OpenAI model drop doubles GPU demand, healthcare regulators release fresh explainability guidance, & a fintech unicorn pays six figures for vector‑search expertise. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed in 2024 now looks like an outdated Jupyter notebook—missing the gen‑AI tsunami, the surge in edge inference, & the UK’s new Responsible‑AI framework. To give ML professionals an accurate benchmark, MachineLearningJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; you’ll receive a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, highlights the forces driving ML pay skyward, & offers five practical moves to boost your value inside the next ninety days.

How to Present Machine Learning Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Machine learning is driving change across nearly every industry—from retail and finance to health and logistics. But while the technology continues to evolve rapidly, the ability to communicate it clearly has become just as important as building the models themselves. Whether you're applying for a junior ML engineer role, a research position, or a client-facing AI consultant job, UK employers increasingly expect candidates to explain complex machine learning solutions to non-technical audiences. In this guide, you’ll learn how to confidently present your work, structure your message, use simple visuals, and explain the real-world value of machine learning in a way that makes sense to people without a background in data science.
