Overview

Executive Director / Principal Machine Learning Engineer role at TWG Global (TWG Group Holdings, LLC). The organization drives innovation and business transformation across multiple industries by leveraging data and AI as core assets. The role is embedded in the UK Data Science team and reports to the Head of the UK AI & Data Science team.

Responsibilities
  • Translate data science prototypes into production-ready pilot ML services tailored to business use cases
  • Build lightweight pipelines (feature engineering, model packaging, inference services) that integrate with central platforms and meet immediate delivery needs
  • Champion pragmatic MLOps practices (CI/CD for ML, monitoring, observability) to improve reliability without duplicating central engineering’s enterprise frameworks
  • Partner closely with Data Scientists to operationalize models and collaborate with central engineering to plan handoffs of successful pilots for hardening and scale
  • Apply emerging ML engineering techniques (LLM deployment, RAG, vector databases) to accelerate delivery of applied projects
  • Develop reusable components and lessons learned for firm-wide adoption
  • Ensure ML workflows comply with governance, audit, and regulatory requirements
  • Collaborate with central Engineering, Data, Product, and Security teams to align with firm-wide platforms and standards
  • Provide technical mentorship to ML engineers, raising the bar for applied delivery and model deployment
  • Flex into data science tasks when needed: feature engineering, model experimentation, and analytical insights
Requirements
  • 8+ years of experience designing, building, and deploying ML systems in production
  • Proven track record of leading ML engineering projects from prototype to production delivery
  • Deep expertise in modern ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, Ray, MLflow, Kubeflow)
  • Proficiency in Python and at least one backend language (e.g., Java, Scala, Go, C++)
  • Strong knowledge of cloud ML infrastructure (AWS SageMaker, GCP Vertex AI, Azure ML) and containerized deployments (Kubernetes, Docker)
  • Hands-on experience with ML pipelines, distributed training, and inference scaling
  • Familiarity with monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog)
  • Experience in regulated industries (finance, insurance, healthcare) with compliance and governance needs
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to mentor others and influence technical direction
  • Working knowledge of data science techniques (e.g., supervised/unsupervised ML, model evaluation, causal inference, feature engineering)
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or related field (PhD a plus)
Preferred Experience
  • Experience integrating with Palantir platforms (Foundry, AIP, Ontology) as a user/consumer
  • Practical exposure to LLM and GenAI delivery (fine-tuning, RAG, vector search, inference)
  • Experience optimizing GPU clusters or distributed training workloads
  • Familiarity with graph databases (Neo4j, TigerGraph) in applied ML contexts
Benefits
  • Work at the forefront of AI/ML innovation in life insurance, annuities, and financial services
  • Drive AI transformation for sophisticated financial entities
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, future equity options, and leadership opportunities

This is a hybrid position based in the United Kingdom.

We offer a competitive base pay plus a discretionary bonus as part of the compensation package, in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits.

TWG is an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran.

How to Write an AI CV that Beats ATS (UK examples)

Writing an AI CV for the UK market is about clarity, credibility, and alignment. Recruiters spend seconds scanning the top third of your CV, while Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) check for relevant skills & recent impact. Your goal is to make both happy without gimmicks: plain structure, sharp evidence, and links that prove you can ship to production. This guide shows you exactly how to do that. You’ll get a clean CV anatomy, a phrase bank for measurable bullets, GitHub & portfolio tips, and three copy-ready UK examples (junior, mid, research). Paste the structure, replace the details, and tailor to each job ad.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK AI hiring has shifted from titles & puzzle rounds to skills, portfolios, evals, safety, governance & measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews, and how to prepare—especially for LLM application, MLOps/platform, data science, AI product & safety roles. Who this is for: AI/ML engineers, LLM engineers, data scientists, MLOps/platform engineers, AI product managers, applied researchers & safety/governance specialists targeting roles in the UK.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
