Our Transformatics team builds data and AI products to provide analytics insights to clients and teams involved in transformation programs across the globe. The current team is composed of data engineers, data scientists and product managers who are spread across several geographies. The team covers a variety of industries, functions, analytics methodologies and platforms – e.g. Cloud data engineering, advanced statistics, machine learning, predictive analytics, MLOps and generative AI.

What You’ll Do

You will collaborate closely with a team comprising data scientists, data engineers, product developers, and analytics-focused consultants.

You will work on topics such as descriptive analytics, predictive models (e.g., boosted trees), and large language models (LLMs), particularly for segmentation use cases. Additionally, you will design and deliver products that adhere to MLOps best practices, ensuring they are both maintainable and deployable. By doing so, you will help bring advanced analytics capabilities into one of flagship products, named "Wave". Your work will be the backbone for how client runs future Transformations, leveraging data science assets, to improve the odds of success for our clients.

In this role, you will be involved in the following areas:

● Advanced insight generation: transforming complex business questions into statically relevant analyses and these analyses into easy to digest insights.

Delivering this through well documented and tested pipelines, that allow easy collaboration with other team members.

● Upholding technical excellence: Together with the tech lead(s) define how to build, maintain and scale our pipelines. Often piloting new technical approaches & automation.

● Using your business understanding to critically review model results, trends, analyses and classifications.

● Coach & help other colleagues: Coach & help you peers when needed, we deliver as a team.

● Machine learning model development: Lead the design and refinement of statistical models, optimization techniques, advanced machine learning, and predictive models

● LLM optimization and evaluation: Fine-tune and evaluating the performance and efficiency of Large Language Models, leveraging the latest advancements in neural network architectures and machine learning techniques

Qualifications

● Bachelor's degree in the field of computer science, machine learning, applied statistics, mathematics or related field required. Advanced degree is a strong plus

● Strong data translation and presentation skills with the ability to clearly and effectively communicate complex analytical and technical content

● 3-6 years of relevant experience with classical descriptive statistics, standard statistical modelling (e.g. advanced regressions, clustering, classification models) and machine learning techniques (e.g. random forest, support vector machines, gradient boosting, XGBoost)

● Programming experience in the following languages: Python and SQL

● Experience in leading complex engagements to deploy advanced analytics and data science methods at scale in real world organizations

● Exposure to extra tooling such as Snowflake, Excel and Tableau is a plus

● Familiarity with neural network architectures (Transformers), RAG models, deep learning libraries (TensorFlow/PyTorch) and machine learning libraries (scikit-learn) is a plus

10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Tools to Learn Now

As the UK’s AI sector accelerates towards a £1 trillion tech economy, the job landscape is rapidly evolving. Whether you’re an aspiring AI engineer, a machine learning specialist, or a data-driven software developer, staying ahead of the curve means more than just brushing up on Python. You’ll need to master a new generation of frameworks, languages, and tools shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Welcome to the AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your definitive guide to the emerging AI tech stack that employers will be looking for in the next 12–24 months. Updated annually for accuracy and relevance, this guide breaks down the top tools, frameworks, platforms, and programming languages powering the UK’s most in-demand AI careers.

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

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
