Agency Recruiter Notes:


"While the title mentions Revenue Management, I’d describe this role as more focused on Pricing Strategy. The successful candidate will play a key role in driving the modernisation and efficiency of both dynamic and value-based pricing across the business.


This role is inherently more technical—not in the sense of coding—but in liaising with data and tech teams, articulating what should be developed and what’s feasible.


The company has a unique growth story, particularly over the past 18 months, launching into new markets and demonstrating real resilience and expansion despite challenging market conditions. The team is being built with strong talent, offering great opportunities for those in senior roles to progress as the business continues to expand."


Why Join?


The company is on a mission to revolutionize its industry by offering customers unparalleled choice, ease, and value in their market. The team is the driving force behind their positioning as personal experts in the field, with the business focused on delivering smart, innovative solutions for its customers.


The Impact You’ll Have:


This is a newly created position within the Revenue Management & Pricing team, reporting to the VP of Revenue Management. You’ll lead global pricing strategy and help drive the development of revenue management capabilities throughout the business.


The role focuses on optimizing the balance between margin per transaction and conversion rates to maximize revenue and profitability. You’ll develop pricing strategies across multiple markets, leveraging data science and analytical insights into the company's commercial standing and consumer behaviour. Additionally, you’ll collaborate with stakeholders across the business to manage key metrics, identify opportunities, and mitigate risks.


You will also manage, develop, and grow a team of revenue management specialists.


Your Day-to-Day:


  • Manage the Revenue Management function and lead a team.
  • Oversee pricing strategy across all markets to optimize the relationship between margin per transaction, conversion rates, and gross profit.
  • Analyse and communicate updates on revenue trends.
  • Collaborate with Supply, Customer Experience, and Finance teams to identify and support broader commercial opportunities.
  • Partner with Data, Product, and Engineering teams to ensure the development of top-tier revenue management processes and capabilities.
  • Perform performance analysis to find opportunities to improve trading margins through strategic adjustments.


Your Skillset:


  • Strong numerical, commercial, and financial acumen.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills.
  • Experience in setting strategies and leading teams.
  • Capable of working effectively across a wide range of stakeholders.
  • Proficient in extracting, analyzing, and presenting data to support recommendations.


Desirable:


  • Experience managing teams.
  • Experience working in competitive digital industries (e.g., travel, online FMCG).
  • Familiarity with SQL and visualization tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau)

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.
