I’m hiring for a Head of Data Science & Analytics to lead a dynamic and growing data function within a global media organisation. With a strong digital presence and a wide-ranging portfolio of consumer brands across publishing, audio, and advertising, this is a brilliant opportunity to shape the future of data strategy across the UK and European markets.


Why this role?

You’ll be joining at a pivotal moment as the business strengthens its audience intelligence, inventory analytics, and digital engagement capabilities. This role offers significant ownership — leading a cross-functional team, working on high-impact projects, and driving real commercial and audience insight across multiple countries.


Key Focus Areas:

Inventory Optimisation – Help the business unlock better pricing strategies and revenue forecasting for advertising space

Audience Analytics – Understand user behaviour and engagement across platforms to support smarter content and programming decisions

Competitions & Promotions – Drive targeting strategies for high-volume competition campaigns and optimise performance using predictive models


Your Mission:

  • Lead and scale a high-performing data science and analytics team
  • Design and implement predictive models to drive decision-making across business verticals
  • Champion the use of data science, product analytics, and A/B testing across commercial and content teams
  • Build scalable data solutions that align with both UK and European markets
  • Act as a strategic partner to senior stakeholders across digital, commercial, and audience functions
  • Foster a culture of innovation, curiosity, and insight-led thinking


What We're Looking For:

  • Proven experience in a data leadership role – ideally managing multidisciplinary teams (data science, BI, analytics, etc.)
  • Strong technical foundation – hands-on with SQL, modelling, experimentation and product analytics
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills – able to influence non-technical teams and shape strategic direction
  • Sector experience is flexible, though backgrounds in media, advertising, digital platforms, or high-engagement B2C environments are especially valued
  • For certain areas (e.g. competitions), experience in gaming or gambling analytics could be a strong plus
  • Ultimately, we’re after someone collaborative, commercially-minded, and passionate about making data work for people

AI Summit London 2025: A Complete Guide for UK AI Engineers & Recruiters

Artificial intelligence may be a border-less technology, but every ecosystem needs a beating heart where the community meets face-to-face. For the British Isles that heart is The AI Summit London, the headline AI event of London Tech Week, returning to Tobacco Dock on 11–12 June 2025. With eight content stages, 4 500+ attendees and 300 speakers spanning government, FTSE-100 giants and rocket-ship start-ups, the Summit offers a year’s worth of insight, deal-making and career acceleration in just 48 hours. Whether you are an AI engineer optimising vector databases, a data scientist pivoting into prompt ops, or a hiring manager scouring the market for talent, this handbook distils everything you need to hit the ground running—from ticket tactics and agenda highlights to networking hacks and post-event ROI.

AI Engineer World’s Fair 2025: The Complete UK Guide to June’s Unmissable AI Engineering Event

If 2024 was the year every product team rushed to bolt an LLM onto their roadmap, 2025 is when the craft of AI engineering finally takes centre stage. From rapid-fire prompt iterations to robust eval pipelines, the discipline now demands the same rigour we once reserved for cloud infra or mobile apps. That is precisely why the AI Engineer World’s Fair, 3–5 June 2025 in San Francisco, matters more than any keynote or press release: it is the one place where the movers, makers and maintainers of production-grade AI swap battle-tested patterns in person. For UK technologists—and the recruiters who hire them—the Fair offers a rare chance to compress a year’s worth of learning, networking and tooling discovery into three intense days. Whether you are scaling RAG systems on Azure, bootstrapping an agentic start-up from your kitchen table, or simply hunting for your first AI engineer job, the sessions, workshops and hallway conversations can tilt your career trajectory. The guide that follows distils everything you need to know—programme highlights, travel hacks, ticket tips and post-event ROI—so you can decide if a flight across the Atlantic (or a virtual pass) is the smartest investment you’ll make this year.
