Key Reports:Modelling Solutions Lead

About the role:

This critical role will be a part of Wavemaker UK's Modelling Solutions team, which resides within Wavemaker UK's wider effectiveness team. The wider effectiveness team is comprised of two key pillars (effectiveness and modelling solutions) which are very much complementary in terms of driving effective media solutions across our portfolio of clients through the means of both statistical measurement and effective implementation of strategic insight.

Wavemaker Modelling Solutions is Wavemaker's statistical analysis consultancy leveraging data and advanced analytics to help drive effective planning decisions across our client's marketing mix. One of the key components of our offer is our statistical modelling solutions, the three main parts of which are WM Econometrics, WM Vitality IQ, and WM Optimiser IQ. These products allow us to provide recommendations that drive tangible business improvements to our clients.

The Modelling Solutions Partner will be responsible for leading the Modelling Solutions team within Wavemaker. This includes leading and delivering modelling projects for a group of clients from initial client brief through to final debrief, collating and presenting the client debrief, and owning any follow-up actions. You will also liaise with the planning teams to ensure the learnings from modelling projects are consistently applied to planning decisions. Additionally, the role leads the Modelling Solutions function within Wavemaker and is responsible for developing the Modelling Solution product roadmap, working with other stakeholders to provide new solutions to clients and managing the commercial forecasts for the Modelling Solutions products.

In this role, you will:

  • Lead and deliver econometrics projects for our clients, working with the Modelling Solutions Lead to allocate resources across projects accordingly.
  • Manage all stakeholders to ensure that both clients and agency fully understand the measurement framework and the role of different forms of measurement within it.
  • Develop an understanding of the drivers of performance beyond marketing levers to provide a broader view on the most effective approach to maximize client performance.
  • Ensure that an effectiveness mindset is embedded within the client planning, delivery, and activation teams.
  • Work with appropriate Wavemaker, partner agency, and client teams to design appropriate test structures that are both statistically robust and actionable.
  • Identify gaps in analysis techniques that would help answer key effectiveness/optimization questions and work with technical teams to develop new solutions.
  • Build the commercial and business case for incremental investment by the client in effectiveness solutions.
  • Manage the internal delivery of analytical projects across the Wavemaker Modelling Solutions team.
  • Lead and line manage the Modelling Solutions Lead and oversee the line management of other team members.
  • Oversee the instruction and training of junior members of the team.
  • Lead the Modelling Solutions product roadmap including developing new solutions in line with Wavemaker’s wider data strategy.
  • Contribute to building Wavemaker’s reputation as specialists within Modelling solutions through thought leadership and other contributions.
  • Manage the commercial forecast process for Modelling Solutions.

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
