About the role

We wouldn’t be able to positively impact the way the world shops without our passionate team members - who keep our business running, our vans delivering, our customers' products picked and packed, and our proprietary technology operating at optimum levels. Both behind the scenes within the warehouses and across the front end of the customer experience, which means we now have an opportunity for a Senior Analyst to join the team.

  • Generate reports, dashboards, and visualisations to communicate key findings and recommendations to stakeholders.
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities, streamline operations, and improve efficiency.
  • Stay up to date with industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies in supply chain and logistics.

About you - Requirements to be considered:

  • Significant experience in an Analyst role, with a strong focus on Big Data.
  • Exceptional quantitative & qualitative problem-solving skills.
  • Strong command of analytical SQL required, with Excel, VBA, or similar (e.g. Python, R, or other programming experience) desirable.
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills.
  • Ability to communicate complex concepts effectively and present findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong attention to detail, ability to work independently, and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Enthusiasm for the role, and a willingness to share knowledge and best practices across the wider team.

In the interview, we would like you to:

  • Deliver insight-driven analysis that provides real business value.
  • Clearly explain the ‘why’ behind the data and its impact on decision-making.
  • Use data storytelling techniques, such as the STAR method, to communicate insights effectively.

Interview Process Overview:

  • Intro (30 mins) – Phone/Google Meet with Lead Recruiter, Richard Wandowski.
  • Case Study – Successfully screened candidates will complete a short case study task.
  • Interviews – There may be one or two interview stages, depending on the role's requirements. These will focus on scenario-based, behavioural, and experience-related questions, as well as a discussion on case study performance.

We have multiple openings across the broader department, working across various verticals, with immediate start dates available. During the initial screening call, Richard Wandowski will discuss your skills, experience, and preferences to determine the best fit for you within the team.

What you can expect to receive in return

At Ocado, we believe in a workplace where everyone feels valued and supported, so you’ll find a safe and collaborative atmosphere as well as an award-winning recognition programme and benefits package that includes a healthy work-life balance, extensive healthcare coverage, competitive salaries, and exclusive employee discounts.

Negotiating Your Machine Learning Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

How to Secure a Compensation Package That Matches Your Technical Mastery and Strategic Influence in the UK’s ML Landscape Machine learning (ML) has rapidly shifted from an emerging discipline to a mission-critical function in modern enterprises. From optimising e-commerce recommendations to powering autonomous vehicles and driving innovation in healthcare, ML experts hold the keys to transformative outcomes. As a mid‑senior professional in this field, you’re not only crafting sophisticated algorithms; you’re often guiding strategic decisions about data pipelines, model deployment, and product direction. With such a powerful impact on business results, companies across the UK are going beyond standard salary structures to attract top ML talent. Negotiating a compensation package that truly reflects your value means looking beyond the numbers on your monthly payslip. In addition to a competitive base salary, you could be securing equity, performance-based bonuses, and perks that support your ongoing research, development, and growth. However, many mid‑senior ML professionals leave these additional benefits on the table—either because they’re unsure how to negotiate them or they simply underestimate their long-term worth. This guide explores every critical aspect of negotiating a machine learning job offer. Whether you’re joining an AI-focused start-up or a major tech player expanding its ML capabilities, understanding equity structures, bonus schemes, and strategic perks will help you lock in a package that matches your technical expertise and strategic influence. Let’s dive in.

Machine Learning Jobs in the Public Sector: Opportunities Across GDS, NHS, MOD, and More

Machine learning (ML) has rapidly moved from academic research labs to the heart of industrial and governmental operations. Its ability to uncover patterns, predict outcomes, and automate complex tasks has revolutionised industries ranging from finance to retail. Now, the public sector—encompassing government departments, healthcare systems, and defence agencies—has become an increasingly fertile ground for machine learning jobs. Why? Because government bodies oversee vast datasets, manage critical services for millions of citizens, and must operate efficiently under tight resource constraints. From using ML algorithms to improve patient outcomes in the NHS, to enhancing cybersecurity within the Ministry of Defence (MOD), there’s a growing demand for skilled ML professionals in UK public sector roles. If you’re passionate about harnessing data-driven insights to solve large-scale problems and contribute to societal well-being, machine learning jobs in the public sector offer an unparalleled blend of challenge and impact. In this article, we’ll explore the key reasons behind the public sector’s investment in ML, highlight the leading organisations, outline common job roles, and provide practical guidance on securing a machine learning position that helps shape the future of government services.

Contract vs Permanent Machine Learning Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Machine learning (ML) has swiftly become one of the most transformative forces in the UK technology landscape. From conversational AI and autonomous vehicles to fraud detection and personalised recommendations, ML algorithms are reshaping how organisations operate and how consumers experience products and services. In response, job opportunities in machine learning—including roles in data science, MLOps, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and more—have risen dramatically. Yet, as the demand for ML expertise booms, professionals face a pivotal choice about how they want to work. Some choose day‑rate contracting, leveraging short-term projects for potentially higher immediate pay. Others embrace fixed-term contract (FTC) roles for mid-range stability, or permanent positions for comprehensive benefits and a well-defined career path. In this article, we will explore these different employment models, highlighting the pros and cons of each, offering sample take‑home pay scenarios, and providing insights into which path might pay better in 2025. Whether you’re a new graduate with a machine learning degree or an experienced practitioner pivoting into an ML-heavy role, understanding these options is key to making informed career decisions.
