Insurance Pricing, Data Science and Advanced Analytics Recruitment Specialist Perm | Contract I Insurtech I General Insurance I Broking I Lloyds…

£65,000 + bonus + benefits | 2 days/week Manchester (moving to 3 days soon)


If you’re a pricing data scientist who wants to lean harder into ML (or you’re an ML engineer who enjoys commercial, real-world modelling), this is one of those roles where Python is central to everything.


You’ll join a high-performing ML team (4 ML engineers today) with genuine buy-in from the wider business and a strong pipeline of interesting work. The team is growing, and so is the opportunity to step up.


What you’ll be doing

  • Building and improving pricing models using Python
  • Working on GLMs and GBMs (this is not an LLM/neural-network role)
  • Translating model outputs into decisions that move the needle commercially
  • Collaborating closely with ML engineers, pricing, and stakeholders across the business
  • Helping shape how the team scales as hiring continues

Why this role stands out

  • Python-first environment with meaningful engineering/ML focus
  • Huge internal support for ML and analytics
  • A team that’s already established, but still early enough for you to have real influence
  • Clear career progression as the function expands over the next 12–24+ months

What they’re looking for

  • Strong Python and experience delivering models into production or production-like settings
  • Background in pricing analytics / data science / ML engineering
  • Comfortable with GLMs/GBMs and rigorous modelling practices
  • A career-focused person who wants to grow with a scaling team

📍 Location: Manchester (Hybrid — 2 days/week in office, moving to 3 days/week soon)


💷 Package: up to £65,000 base + bonus + benefits

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.
