RegGenome is a regulatory data technology company and a leader in the field of computational regulation, transforming how the world processes and consumes regulatory information. We leverage AI to convert human-readable regulations into machine-readable and machine-consumable data.


As a commercial spin-out of the Regulatory Genome Project (RGP)—a pioneering public-private partnership with the University of Cambridge Judge Business School—our mission is to build universal information structures for regulatory data, creating a regulatory commons.

Our team combines deep expertise in AI-driven data processing, NLP/ML models, and regulatory communities. Backed by £15 million in funding, we have secured strong product-market fit and commercial traction with global regulators and financial institutions. With our Series A funding round nearing completion, we are expanding our team to scale our data quality and assurance capabilities.


This is an exciting time to join us as we leverage AI and automation to build a world-leading regulatory data repository.


What we are looking for:

We are searching for a Head of Data Quality to lead and formalize our data quality assurance strategy. This is a critical leadership role, ensuring that our data is accurate, reliable, traceable, and compliant with industry standards.

You will oversee data quality governance, risk management, and validation frameworks, ensuring that our AI-driven regulatory data processes meet the highest standards. You will also work closely with data science, engineering, product, and regulatory teams to align data quality initiatives with business goals.

This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives on building scalable quality processes, implementing automation, and driving a culture of continuous improvement.


About you:

· You are an experienced leader in data quality, governance, or assurance, ideally within AI, regulatory, or financial services industries.

· You are comfortable working in a fast-paced, data-driven environment, implementing automation and monitoring solutions for quality control.

· You are proactive, assertive, and detail-oriented, capable of leading cross-functional collaboration on data quality issues.

· You have strong analytical skills and a structured approach to risk management and data validation.

· You are comfortable working in an agile environment, managing priorities and adjusting strategies as needed.

What you’ll do:

· Develop and implement a company-wide data quality strategy, ensuring all data sources, transformations, and AI-driven decisions are traceable, auditable, and compliant.

· Define and monitor key risk areas for data quality, creating robust risk management protocols.

· Oversee automation in data quality monitoring, working with engineering and data science teams to build scalable validation frameworks.

· Ensure AI models produce accurate, explainable, and reliable outputs, implementing testing and feedback loops.

· Establish and enforce Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for data quality issues, ensuring efficient remediation.

· Manage and coordinate quality assurance efforts across teams, ensuring alignment with business objectives and regulatory requirements.

· Lead the Data Quality team, mentoring analysts and driving operational excellence.

· Stay ahead of industry trends in data governance and AI-driven quality assurance, ensuring our strategies remain best-in-class.


What you’ll need:

· 5+ years of experience in data quality, governance, or quality assurance, ideally in AI, regulatory technology, or financial services.

· Strong understanding of data integrity frameworks, compliance requirements, and risk management best practices.

· Experience implementing automated data quality monitoring tools and dashboards.

· Familiarity with AI/ML quality assurance practices, including model validation and explainability.

· Proven leadership and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to drive cross-functional collaboration.

· Comfortable making data-driven decisions, balancing short-term priorities with long-term strategic objectives.


Nice to have:

· Experience working in a growing start-up or scale-up environment.

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.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.
