UK | High Growth B2B SaaS | Hands On Data Science Manager

I am working with a scaling UK PropTech business where Machine Learning and AI sit at the core of the product and commercial strategy.

They are hiring a hands on Data Science Manager who can lead their Data team while remaining technically involved in modelling, production machine learning and shaping the overall AWS based data platform.

This is not a pure management role. They are looking for a strong Data Scientist first, someone comfortable across the full lifecycle from ingestion and feature engineering through to modelling and deployment.

Their data estate has evolved over time and is currently spread across multiple siloed systems with differing structures and standards. The platform is built on AWS, but architectural consistency is lacking. They need someone who understands what good looks like in a modern cloud native environment, can rationalise fragmented systems, and proactively define a clear data and AI roadmap. You will lead a Data team of 5-6 across Data Science and Data Engineering, raising standards while still contributing directly to predictive models and AI driven tools. This is a genuine opportunity to bring structure, clarity and technical direction to a business where data is fundamental to competitive advantage.

Key areas of focus include:

• Designing and improving a scalable AWS data platform
• Creating architectural coherence across siloed systems
• Leading end to end machine learning from feature engineering through to production deployment
• Embedding robust MLOps and model performance monitoring
• Improving ingestion, transformation and production readiness of data
• Defining and owning a multi-year data and AI roadmap aligned to business growth

They are looking for someone who:

• Has strong hands on Data Science capability
• Has deployed machine learning models into production, not just experimentation
• Is comfortable operating across data engineering and architecture discussions
• Has worked within messy, multi system, inconsistent data environments
• Brings architectural thinking, even if not formally titled Head of Architecture
• Has experience leading and developing a small, high impact team
• Is proactive, commercially aware and confident setting technical direction

This is less about hiring a traditional enterprise Data Engineering leader and more about finding a technically credible, AI centric builder who can combine modelling depth, engineering awareness and leadership.

Salary: £90,000 to £100,000 plus significant equity.
Location: London – Hybrid working 2 to 3 days in the office when needed, with a flexible and pragmatic approach.

This is an opportunity to shape a modern, AI driven data capability on AWS within a scaling SaaS business where data underpins product differentiation. You will have genuine ownership, leadership visibility and meaningful equity upside.

If you are a technically strong Data Science leader who enjoys solving architectural complexity and building high performing teams, please APPLY NOW

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.
