Who We Are

The Business Trends team collaborates with Wayfair's executive leadership and all business functions to identify, monitor, and address metric trends that drive Revenue and long-term Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). The team analyzes trends and develops a narrative on Wayfair's absolute and relative performance compared to competitors, both in the short-term and long-term. This allows Wayfair's senior leaders to quickly understand performance drivers, triage issues in real-time, and identify areas where plans need to be refined. Business Trends adds value by: 1) driving long-term CLV by unifying the organization around Wayfair's customer value proposition, tracking related input metrics, and driving interventions if customers are not reacting to improvements or if deviations from normal trends are observed; and 2) influencing partner teams to devote resources to areas of the business that need improvement in order to advance overall business performance and share taking.

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.
