Head of Commercial Insights

We are seeking a highly skilled Head of Commercial Insights to shape data-driven strategies for a complex, international B2B business. In this role, you will lead a small but capable insights team (BI + pricing) and bridge the gap between operational leadership and data analysts, economists, and commercial thinkers. Your focus will be on guiding where to prioritise efforts and why.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the Commercial Insights function across 20+ business units in Europe.
Provide clarity and structure to drive performance, growth, and prioritisation using data.
Align BI and pricing efforts with commercial priorities, translating complex trends into actionable intelligence.
Collaborate with regional GMs, commercial directors, and sales teams to define focus areas and track progress.
Standardise tools and reporting while emphasising the importance of data insights.
Influence change and bring teams on the journey towards insight-led operations.

Requirements:

Background in commercial, strategy, pricing, or business performance.
Experience in a B2B industrial, manufacturing, or engineering setting (preferably process-driven and multi-entity).
Proven ability to work with senior leadership, challenge constructively, and bring data to life.
Strong understanding of how pricing, volume, and operational levers impact business outcomes.
Familiarity with BI tools to influence usage (e.g., Power BI), but this is not a hands-on technical role.
If you are a strategic thinker with a track record of effectively utilising data to drive business success, we want to hear from you. Join us as we continue to grow and make a real impact in the B2B industry.

Contract vs Permanent Machine Learning Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Machine learning (ML) has swiftly become one of the most transformative forces in the UK technology landscape. From conversational AI and autonomous vehicles to fraud detection and personalised recommendations, ML algorithms are reshaping how organisations operate and how consumers experience products and services. In response, job opportunities in machine learning—including roles in data science, MLOps, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and more—have risen dramatically. Yet, as the demand for ML expertise booms, professionals face a pivotal choice about how they want to work. Some choose day‑rate contracting, leveraging short-term projects for potentially higher immediate pay. Others embrace fixed-term contract (FTC) roles for mid-range stability, or permanent positions for comprehensive benefits and a well-defined career path. In this article, we will explore these different employment models, highlighting the pros and cons of each, offering sample take‑home pay scenarios, and providing insights into which path might pay better in 2025. Whether you’re a new graduate with a machine learning degree or an experienced practitioner pivoting into an ML-heavy role, understanding these options is key to making informed career decisions.

Machine‑Learning Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

The Model Needs More Than Math When ChatGPT went viral and London start‑ups raised seed rounds around “foundation models,” many professionals asked, “Do I need to learn PyTorch to work in machine learning?” The answer is no. According to the Turing Institute’s UK ML Industry Survey 2024, 39 % of advertised ML roles focus on strategy, compliance, product or operations rather than writing code. As models move from proof‑of‑concept to production, demand surges for specialists who translate algorithms into business value, manage risk and drive adoption. This guide reveals the fastest‑growing non‑coding ML roles, the transferable skills you may already have, real transition stories and a 90‑day action plan—no gradient descent necessary.
