About Faculty

Faculty transforms organisational performance through safe, impactful and human-led AI.

We are Europe’s leading applied AI company, and saw its potential a decade ago - long before the current hype cycle.

We were founded in 2014 with our Fellowship programme, training academics to become commercial data scientists.

Today, we provide over 300 global customers with industry-leading software, and bespoke AI consultancy for retail, healthcare, energy, and governmental organisations, as well as our award winning Fellowship.

Our expertise and safety credentials are such that OpenAI asked us to be their first technical partner, helping customers deploy cutting-edge generative AI safely.

Ourhigh-impact workhas saved lives through forecasting NHS demand during covid, produced green energy by routing boats towards the wind, slashed marketing spend by predicting customer spending habits, and kept children safe online.

AI is an epoch-defining technology. We want people to join us who can help our customers reap its enormous benefits safely.

About the Fellowship

Faculty will now be delivering a Fellowship for AI Product Associates. Artificial Intelligence is the most important technology of our age, but it is only valuable when applied in the real world - enhancing products, improving services, and saving lives. Since 2014, Faculty has helped 400+ PhD graduates, post-doctoral researchers, masters and experienced software engineers transition into a career in data science through our fellowship programme.

We are launching a new AI Product fellowship programme this year. We believe there is an exciting role emerging for technical non-coders which will be one of the fastest growing professions of the next decade. We are looking for exceptional early career professionals who are captivated by the emerging capabilities of AI and keen to build their skills.

What can you expect?

The fellowship begins with two weeks of intensive lectures and workshops at Faculty, where you will be coached by our expert teams - learning about the techniques that underpin Artificial Intelligence and Data Science; how AI solutions are built and project managed; and an introduction to a variety of product management and project delivery skills.

You will then be paired with one of Faculty's partners for a five-week AI strategy project. Our in-house experts carefully select and scope these projects and then mentor you as you work directly with our customers.

The finale of the fellowship is Demo Day. Fellows will have the opportunity to present their hard work to an audience of 100+ guests. The event is a great chance to network with hiring managers and influential individuals from a wide range of businesses based in London, the UK and Europe.

After completing the Faculty Fellowship, our alumni have gone on to work for many leading companies; from tech giants like Google, Microsoft and Meta, to the fastest growing startups like PhysicsX and Orbital Witness, to established FTSE 100 companies such as AstraZeneca and Tesco to name a few. Many fellows also find permanent positions at Faculty.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.

AI Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern AI Department

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are no longer confined to research labs and tech giants. In the UK, organisations from healthcare and finance to retail and logistics are adopting AI to solve problems, automate processes, and create new products. With this growth comes the need for well-structured teams. But what does an AI department actually look like? Who does what? And how do all the moving parts come together to deliver business value? In this guide, we’ll explain modern AI team structures, break down the responsibilities of each role, explore how teams differ in startups versus enterprises, and highlight what UK employers are looking for. Whether you’re an applicant or an employer, this article will help you understand the anatomy of a successful AI department.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next AI Jobs Hub

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly moved from research labs into boardrooms, classrooms, hospitals, and homes. It is already reshaping economies and transforming industries at a scale comparable to the industrial revolution or the rise of the internet. Around the world, countries are competing fiercely to lead in AI innovation and reap its economic, social, and strategic benefits. The United Kingdom is uniquely positioned in this race. With a rich heritage in computing, world-class universities, forward-thinking government policy, and a growing ecosystem of startups and enterprises, the UK has many of the elements needed to become the world’s next AI hub. Yet competition is intense, particularly from the United States and China. Success will depend on how effectively the UK can scale its strengths, close its gaps, and seize opportunities in the years ahead. This article explores why the UK could be the world’s next global hub for artificial intelligence, what challenges it must overcome, and what this means for businesses, researchers, and job seekers.
