    You’ll enjoy working collaboratively with stakeholders, building strong relationships and helping others get the most from data and MI. You’ll be organised, detail-focused and able to manage multiple pieces of work in a changing environment, while maintaining high standards of quality and accuracy.

    To be successful in this role, you’ll bring:

  • Experience of data extraction, cleansing and transformation, producing accurate, fit-for-purpose MI and analytical outputs.

  • Strong capability in data analysis, modelling and forecasting, supporting evidence-based decision making.

  • Advanced Excel skills (essential), with experience building models, analysing data and supporting performance reporting.

  • Capability using SQL for data extraction and analysis and experience using business intelligence and visualisation tools, such as Power BI to deliver insightful reporting and dashboards

  • A good understanding of data warehousing, MI and reporting techniques, and how to apply best practice.

  • The ability to gather requirements and translate data into insight, supported by strong stakeholder management, communication and collaboration skills.

This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.
