  • Understand business analysis techniques, including SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) and SOAR (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, Results) analysis to understand business priorities and align data science initiatives with organizational objectives.
  • Collaborate with data engineers, product teams, and stakeholders to develop and create data products that address specific business needs and requirements with minimal guidance.
  • Support and upskill more junior team members.
  • Gather, analyze, and visualize data to create compelling and informative narratives for stakeholders, using storytelling techniques to effectively communicate insights and recommendations.
  • Stay up to date with the latest advancements, trends, and research in AI, data science, machine learning, and related technologies.
  • Document experimental methodologies, findings, and insights to ensure transparency, reproducibility, and knowledge sharing within the team and across the organization.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define data requirements, design experiments, and develop strategies to extract meaningful insights from complex datasets.
  • Conduct rigorous data analysis, applying statistical techniques and data visualization to uncover patterns, trends, and actionable insights.
  • Evaluate and recommend appropriate tools, frameworks, and technologies to enhance experimentation, analysis, and data storytelling capabilities.
  • Adhere to data governance and privacy policies to ensure compliance with relevant regulations and industry best practices.

WHO YOU ARE

  • Experience analyzing large volumes of data.
  • Good understanding of data fusion, enrichment and synthetic methodologies.
  • Excellent analytical skills and strong statistical knowledge, as well as interest in applying them to complex problems.
  • Programming proficiency in Python.
  • Extensive experience solving analytical problems using quantitative approaches.
  • A passion for empirical research and for answering hard questions with data.
  • A flexible analytic approach that allows for results at varying levels of precision.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.
