If you're a Senior Data Science Manager looking for a new challenge then this role is for you.


Key Responsibilities:


  • To undertake complex analytical processes taking structured and unstructured data, cleaning and processing it to inform and support efficiency and growth initiatives – driving value in pricing models and across all business areas
  • To design, develop and deploy predictive and prescriptive models using advanced machine learning, underpinned by developing accuracy and assurance tools
  • Focussed on adding value through modelling future business data requirements and identifying and quantifying data value
  • To manage and coach a small team


Key Requirements:


  • Ability to code in multiple languages but with extensive experience in Python and SQL. Experience with R, Hadoop, Spark, NLP(TK) is desirable.
  • Advanced machine learning capability, including:

- Programming: data structures (stacks, queues, multi-dimensional arrays, trees, graphs, etc.), algorithms (searching, sorting, optimization, dynamic programming, etc.), computability and complexity (P vs. NP, NP-complete problems, big-O notation, approximate algorithms, etc.)

- Data modelling: finding useful patterns (correlations, clusters, eigenvectors, etc.) and/or predicting properties of previously unseen instances (classification, regression, anomaly detection, etc.)

- Model evaluation: e.g. validation accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, MCC, MAE, MAPE, RMSE, PCC2

- Application of ML algorithms and libraries: identification of a suitable model (e.g. decision tree, nearest neighbour, neural network, SVM, etc.), selecting a learning procedure to fit the data (e.g. linear regression, gradient descent, genetic algorithms, bagging, boosting), controlling for bias and variance, overfitting and underfitting, missing data, data leakage, among others

  • Advanced mathematical knowledge, including:

- Basis of algebra: matrices and linear algebra, algebra of sets

- Probability: theories (conditional probability, Bayes rule, likelihood, independence) and techniques (Naive Bayes, Gaussian Mixture Models, Hidden Markov Models)

- Statistics: (descriptive: mean, median, range, SD, var, analysis of valriance: ANOVA, MANOVA, ANCOVA, MANCOVA); Multiple regression, time-series, cross-sectional; Multivariate techniques: PCA and factor analysis)

How to Get a Better Machine Learning Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in machine learning can feel especially frustrating when your role was technically advanced, strategically important, or AI-facing. But the UK still has strong demand for machine learning professionals across fintech, healthtech, retail, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and generative AI. Whether you're a research-oriented ML engineer, production-focused MLOps developer, or applied scientist, this guide is designed to help you bounce back from redundancy and find a better opportunity that suits your goals.

Machine Learning Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Figure Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey is useless for UK ML professionals today Ask a Machine Learning Engineer wrangling transformer checkpoints, an MLOps Lead firefighting drift alarms, or a Research Scientist training diffusion models at 3 a.m.: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer changes monthly. A single OpenAI model drop doubles GPU demand, healthcare regulators release fresh explainability guidance, & a fintech unicorn pays six figures for vector‑search expertise. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed in 2024 now looks like an outdated Jupyter notebook—missing the gen‑AI tsunami, the surge in edge inference, & the UK’s new Responsible‑AI framework. To give ML professionals an accurate benchmark, MachineLearningJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; you’ll receive a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, highlights the forces driving ML pay skyward, & offers five practical moves to boost your value inside the next ninety days.

How to Present Machine Learning Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Machine learning is driving change across nearly every industry—from retail and finance to health and logistics. But while the technology continues to evolve rapidly, the ability to communicate it clearly has become just as important as building the models themselves. Whether you're applying for a junior ML engineer role, a research position, or a client-facing AI consultant job, UK employers increasingly expect candidates to explain complex machine learning solutions to non-technical audiences. In this guide, you’ll learn how to confidently present your work, structure your message, use simple visuals, and explain the real-world value of machine learning in a way that makes sense to people without a background in data science.
