We are looking for a talented technical editor to join our thriving agency and work with an expanding portfolio of prominent SaaS brands. We need someone who understands and can confidently edit technical copy, specialising in AI-related topics. 

We pay Technical Editors between £250-420 per day, depending on experience. Working days are 7.5 hours.

About you

As our technical editor, you will be responsible for creating content outlines for our writers to follow, specifically for our technical clients. You will also be responsible for editing, proofreading, and writing content to the highest standards. You will review all content against briefs, client instructions, and specific guidelines, as well as provide constructive feedback to writers in order to improve content. 


You will also conduct research on various topics to verify accuracy, optimise content based on SEO best practices and collaborate effectively with the team in a virtual setting. Prior SEO experience is a bonus, not a requirement; we can upskill you on SEO if required.


To be a success in this role, you will need to have:

  • Familiarity with AI tools and platforms

  • Strong data literacy skills, for example, understanding of datasets

Qualifications
  • At least 3 years of experience creating technical content, minimum of 2 years within AI

  • A degree in a relevant field, for example, computer science or artificial intelligence

  • Extensive experience creating AI-, machine learning-, or data science-related content

  • Strong understanding of AI frameworks, algorithms, and technologies (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, GPT models)

  • Awareness of emerging AI technologies and industry applications

  • Experience in building and deploying AI/ML models would be a bonus


How to Apply:

To apply and help us assess your compatibility, we ask all prospective candidates to submit their CV and availability with the role they’re applying for in the subject line – anticipating further instructions from accelerate agency. 


If you are a match for this role, we will email you to arrange a screening call. If you pass the screening call, this will be followed by a short test.


We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all different backgrounds. For us to be able to give you the best interview experience possible, please let us know in advance if you require any reasonable adjustments to the application or interview process and we will gladly see how we can accommodate them.

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.
