Our aim is to cultivate a positive atmosphere and sense of belonging by facilitating easy access to the office.

  2. Lead with Expertise: Engage in early-stage client activities—from qualification and demos to proofs of concept, pilots, and discoveries—ensuring a seamless handover to the delivery teams.
  3. Leverage Subject Matter Expertise: Architect elegant, scalable solutions and maintain trusted client relationships. Stay current with emerging trends, contribute to new propositions, and share insights through blogs and other media.
  4. Work in a Hybrid Environment: Participate in weekly in-person meetings at our London or Bristol offices, with occasional travel to client sites. Enjoy a flexible blend of remote and on-site work.
  5. Contribute to Accelerators: Help evolve Ascent’s AI accelerators, enabling customers to rapidly implement effective solutions from both a technology and business perspective.

  2. Generative AI Knowledge: Familiarity with Copilot, Azure AI Studio, Azure AI Foundry, and Agentic AI. We welcome applicants who are eager to learn and adapt in this rapidly evolving field.
  3. Infrastructure & DevOps Skills: Understanding of Azure infrastructure concepts and tools such as Azure DevOps, GitHub, CI/CD, ARM, BICEP, and Terraform.
  4. Exceptional Communication: Strong verbal, written, and presentation skills to both internal and external audiences.
  5. Versatile Experience: Working with varying organisations, from SMC to Enterprise.
  6. Agile Methodologies: Commercial Agile experience is desirable.
  7. Certification Preferred: Microsoft certifications are advantageous.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
