At Kantar, we are committed to staying ahead of these threats by investing in advanced analytics and fraud detection capabilities.

  • Collaborate with developers to implement scalable, production-ready analytics solutions.
  • Improve monitoring and measurement of fraud detection systems.

  • Communicate insights clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to drive better data quality and commercial outcomes.

What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ years of experience in analytics, data mining, and reporting.
  • Hands-on experience in fraud detection, anomaly detection, or similar quality-focused domains.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, SQL, and statistical techniques.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Redshift, Azure), git version control
  • Model automation, Kafka
  • Familiarity with intermediate-level statistics (e.g., Probability, Hypothesis testing, Frequentist and Bayesian statistics).
  • Proven ability to present insights using PowerBI and Excel.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative mindset.
  • Experience in industries with large consumer marketplaces (e.g., programmatic media, travel, financial services) is a plus.

Our Tech Stack

  • AWS
  • Redshift
  • Postgres
  • Grafana
  • PowerBI

Note: While our current environment is AWS, we are transitioning to Azure for new development.

Why Join Us?

At Kantar, you’ll be part of a global leader in data, insights, and consulting.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
