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

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.
