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

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.

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.
