  • Communicate analytical findings to senior stakeholders in a clear, commercial way.

  • Champion innovation - keeping the team up to speed with the latest tools, frameworks, and techniques in data science and AI.

  • Develop and mentor team members, fostering a high-performing and collaborative environment.

Skills & Experience

  • Skilled in Python and SQL, with experience using frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch (R experience a plus).

  • Excellent understanding of statistics, mathematics, and model evaluation.

  • Proven ability to translate data outputs into business insight and influence decision-making.

  • Degree-qualified (BSc, MSc or PhD) in a quantitative discipline.

  • Demonstrated leadership skills with experience managing technical teams.

Who You Are
You're a problem-solver who enjoys seeing ideas come to life. You combine technical depth with strategic thinking and can lead from the front - building solutions that make a genuine impact. You thrive in a data-first culture and want to shape how AI supports the business over the next decade.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
