Salary:£30,000 to £35,000 plus benefits

You’ll be joining a data consultancy, one who specialises in helping businesses drive value from their customer data. This is achieved principally through marketing related fields such as optimisation of marketing spend, CRM insight and media analytics. As well as digital analytics, social listening, consumer insights and research projects.

You’ll be joining a specialist insight function which works with a broad array of first and 3rd party data, as well as tools and platforms to provide analysis, insight and reporting which helps inform client strategy and feeds into pitch materials.

This is a truly varied role, and something which will give you a really unique and interesting toolset to learn and evolve your career from due to its diversity.

You’ll be getting under the skin of what people are talking about and deriving insights from that from across platforms like social media, utilising listening tools, or working with digital analytics tools. Working with recognised research and intelligence platforms like YouGov and GWI, or pulling data from a client’s data warehouse and analysing first party customer behavioural data to provide actionable insight.

From the salary, you can see we’re not looking for a lot of commercial experience to be demonstrated with this role, but we do require some. In reality that experience can be within reporting, dashboarding and visualisations. As that’s going to be a critical capability needed within the role to start off with. Along with the natural ability to story tell narratives and insights identified from those reports.

In addition, we’re interested in you being able to demonstrate some coding skills, ideally with SQL – principally extraction and manipulation of data from within relational databases.

This is also a role which will suit you if you’ve got that naturally inquisitive nature and find yourself wanting to probe deeper into data to find out the why’s and what’s going on under the skin when you find behavioural anomalies or strange things which don’t seem to correlate when you’re analysing results.

The rest of this role is something which will can be learned, and you will be get a lot of opportunity to develop an array of skills and technical abilities. Including learning all those various data and analytics platforms mentioned previously. Coupled with getting to be involved in a wide array of statistical, analytical and research based project types.

When looking at career development paths with this firm, they’re able to support a variety of options for you, since the company has teams which cover research, analytics, data science, BI and reporting, CRM and more. So coming from a role like this where you’re going to be building a broad base of skills touching on so many of these, you’re going to be spoilt for choice in the future on which path you opt to take.

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.
