Senior Data Architect - Remote UK Contract - £700pd

We're partnered with one of the UK's most-loved Actors, musicians and tech innovators (they do it all), to help them utilise their data more efficiently, both internal data across their group of companies, socials etc as well as external data to drive informed business decisions.

Right now there is no encompassing data architecture in place and we're looking for someone to be able to wrangle their data stores and pipelines together into a usable format for the team to be able to extract insight and visualisations in future.

The expectation is that you'll be very comfortable working across a plethora of tech including SQL, Google analytics, Python and cloud technology.

You should know how to structure and advise the management team on future data plays.

This is a 100% remote contract role that will last around 3-4 months initially but with clear potential to roll. We do need you to be based in the UK and be a supremely clear communicator

If you're used to having everything really neatly provided to you, this isnt the role you want.... we need someone who is used to start-up/scale-up madness and knows how to find what they need to make a success of a project like this.

If you're keen to find out more, please send a CV over and we'll reach out to those with the relevant background.

Please apply today and we will be in touch to discuss the role in more detail.

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.
