Stealth eCommerce Startup

I'm working with a well-funded stealth startup in the eCommerce space that's gearing up for a big launch. They're building a platform that rethinks how online retail works, with data and experimentation at the core of their approach.

They're now hiring a Data Science Manager to take ownership of the data science function. This is a hands-on role with leadership responsibility, ideal for someone who enjoys building and mentoring teams but still wants to stay close to delivery.

You'll be working across key areas like forecasting, marketing performance, customer segmentation and personalisation. A big focus in the early stages will be shaping and improving their marketing mix using Meta's Robyn, so experience using or managing teams that have worked with Robyn is important.

They're also looking for someone with a solid grasp of MLOps principles to help productionise models and maintain performance over time. Their stack includes GCP, so experience working in that environment would be a big plus.

What they're looking for:

  • Hands-on experience in data science, ideally within eCommerce, marketing science or another consumer-focused space

  • Proven ability to lead or mentor a data team while staying involved in day-to-day technical work

  • Strong Python and SQL skills, with experience building models, running experiments and influencing business decisions

  • Experience with Robyn (Meta's open-source MMM tool) or managing teams who have used it commercially

  • Exposure to MLOps tooling and workflows, including monitoring, deployment and versioning

  • Experience deploying on a cloud environment

  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving, early-stage environment

This is a rare chance to build something from the ground up and shape how data is used across product and growth. You'll be working closely with engineering, marketing and the founding team to scale a modern, data-first platform.

The team is based in Manchester and works flexibly, typically spending a couple of days a week in the office. The culture is collaborative, ambitious and focused on solving real problems with smart, pragmatic solutions.

If this sounds like something you'd like to hear more about, feel free to get in touch. Happy to share more detail.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

When it comes to job hunting in artificial intelligence (AI), most candidates head straight to traditional job boards, LinkedIn, or recruitment agencies. But what if there was a better way to find roles that aren’t advertised publicly? What if you could access hidden job leads, gain inside knowledge, or get referred by people already in the field? That’s where professional bodies and specialist AI communities come in. In this article, we’ll explore how UK-based organisations like BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), IET (The Institution of Engineering and Technology), and the Turing Society can help you uncover AI job opportunities you won’t find elsewhere. We'll show you how to strategically use their directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) events to elevate your career and expand your AI job search in ways most job seekers overlook.

How to Get a Better AI Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant or laid off can feel like the rug has been pulled from under you. Whether part of a wider company restructuring, budget cuts, or market shifts in tech, many skilled professionals in the AI industry have recently found themselves unexpectedly jobless.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step action plan for turning redundancy into your next big opportunity. From managing the shock to targeting better AI jobs, updating your CV, and approaching recruiters the smart way, we’ll help you move from setback to comeback.
