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 Find Hidden Machine Learning Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, Turing Society & More

Machine learning (ML) continues to transform sectors across the UK—from fintech and retail to healthtech and autonomous systems. But while the demand for ML engineers, researchers, and applied scientists is growing, many of the best opportunities are never posted on traditional job boards. So, where do you find them? The answer lies in professional bodies, academic-industry networks, and tight-knit ML communities. In this guide, we’ll show you how to uncover hidden machine learning jobs in the UK by engaging with groups like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), Turing Society, Alan Turing Institute, and others. We’ll explore how to use member directories, CPD events, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), and community projects to build connections, gain early access to job leads, and raise your professional profile in the ML ecosystem.

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.
