CTO required to join an ambitious scale-up in West London. A fintech business that has a platform connecting organisations seeking investment to the institutions that will fund them. They have just gone through a further round of funding and have some of the biggest financial institutions in the city as investors, looking to drive significant growth in the business.

Make sure to read the full description below, and please apply immediately if you are confident you meet all the requirements.The company has a 20-person development function in Eastern Europe, and as part of the next phase of development, they want to bring on board a strategic (but still hands-on!) CTO who can help lead the business through this next phase. This will be the organisation’s first CTO, and the primary function will be to support the founders in all things technical to take the business to the next phase.The short-term goal is to assess the capability of the present technology team and make the appropriate changes to ensure they are fit for the future, along with a significantly larger development workload. Longer term, it’s all about adding new functionality to the present platform to enable them to provide a full spectrum product to the market.The requirement is for a combination of strategist, pragmatist, and people manager, and there will be a need to ‘wear many hats’ given the stage of the business. Someone with some exposure to capital markets would be useful, but it is not a prerequisite for the role. Experience working within a business building a client-facing application and managing a data science function is essential as this forms part of the present team.

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.

This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think).

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.
