Xcede has recently partnered with a UK-based workforce technology company that builds intelligent staffing platforms for service-led organisations. As they continue to scale their 50-person team, this role will have a tangible impact on how organisations plan, allocate, and utilise their workforce more effectively.


You’ll apply your analytical and modelling expertise to large volumes of operational data, helping to improve how labour is forecast, scheduled, and optimised. The role involves developing data-driven systems that anticipate demand, improve service delivery, and surface actionable insight across a portfolio of well-known consumer-facing brands.

You’ll also contribute to building scalable analytics tools and work closely with teams across the business — including engineering, operations, and commercial stakeholders — to translate real operational challenges into practical, deployable solutions.


Requirements:

  • At least three years of experience building and deploying machine learning solutions into real-world environments
  • A strong analytical foundation demonstrated through academic study or professional experience
  • Confident using Python and standard machine learning libraries and frameworks
  • A solid understanding of core ML techniques and appropriate use cases
  • Experience delivering ML-driven features such as demand forecasting, optimisation models, or computer vision systems
  • Exposure to working within cloud platforms such as AWS
  • Strong grounding in mathematics and statistics for analysing and interpreting complex datasets
  • An interest in developing broader backend or server-side engineering skills to support the deployment of ML components into production systems

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.
