Why Faculty?


We established Faculty in 2014 because we thought that AI would be the most important technology of our time. Since then, we’ve worked with over 350 global customers to transform their performance through human-centric AI. You can read about our real-world impact here.

We don’t chase hype cycles. We innovate, build and deploy responsible AI which moves the needle - and we know a thing or two about doing it well. We bring an unparalleled depth of technical, product and delivery expertise to our clients who span government, finance, retail, energy, life sciences and defence.

Our business, and reputation, is growing fast and we’re always on the lookout for individuals who share our intellectual curiosity and desire to build a positive legacy through technology.

AI is an epoch-defining technology, join a company where you’ll be empowered to envision its most powerful applications, and to make them happen.

About the team

Bringing medicine to patients is complex, expensive and high-risk. Faculty’s Life Sciences team is concentrated on building AI solutions which optimise the research and commercialisation of life-changing therapies.

We partner with major pharma firms, academic research centres and MedTech start-ups to design and deliver solutions which address critical healthcare challenges, and help to democratize health for all.

About the role

What you'll be doing:

  • Defining and executing the design vision for our Life Sciences products

  • Leading research to map user workflows, understand client ecosystems and translate into actionable design strategies

  • Leading cross-functional collaboration; working closely with engineers, product managers, delivery leads and stakeholders to balance user needs with technical feasibility and strategic client goals

  • Building and evangelising design methodologies which contribute to best practice across the Applied AI consulting group

  • Fostering a culture of innovation through iterative processes and validation

  • Mentoring junior and IC designers

Who we're looking for:

  • You’ve built a wealth of experience designing for scalable software products, ideally with AI/ML at their core

  • You have experience, or demonstrable interest, in the Life Sciences sector

  • You’ve got a portfolio of impactful work which demonstrates your ability to lead the end-to-end design process - deriving clarity from ambiguous requirements and driving iterative progress

  • You’ve worked in a professional services or agency environment, demonstrating the agility to pivot between diverse clients and complex problem spaces

  • You’ve lead on design best practice, building and evangelising methodologies with an eye on repeatable propositions and value for the wider team

  • You’re a seasoned collaborator and inspiring communicator - designing in the open, leveraging other functions’ expertise, and taking them on the journey with you

  • You practice evidence-based design, articulating your choices clearly and credibly to both internal and external stakeholders

Our Recruitment Ethos

We aim to grow the best team - not the most similar one. We know that diversity of individuals fosters diversity of thought, and that strengthens our principle of seeking truth. And we know from experience that diverse teams deliver better work, relevant to the world in which we live. We’re united by a deep intellectual curiosity and desire to use our abilities for measurable positive impact. We strongly encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, religions and sexual orientations.

Some of our standout benefits:

  • Unlimited Annual Leave Policy

  • Private healthcare and dental

  • Enhanced parental leave

  • Family-Friendly Flexibility & Flexible working

  • Sanctus Coaching

  • Hybrid Working

If you don’t feel you meet all the requirements, but are excited by the role and know you bring some key strengths, please don't hesitate in applying as you might be right for this role, or other roles. We are open to conversations about part-time hours.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise AI jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach AI engineers, ML scientists and applied research talent in the UK. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.
