Snapshot

We are looking for ambitious people with a passion for enabling exceptional individuals to join our unique people-first business.

About Us

Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanity’s most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind, we’re a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.

The role

You will be joining the Reward & Recognition team, which sits within Talent, Performance & Reward team at Google DeepMind. Your role will be to review, rethink (where it makes sense) and deliver reward processes and programs, and operate our heartbeat activity. You will be managed by the EMEA Reward & Recognition Lead, and collaborate closely with the rest of the Reward & Recognition team in London and the US, alongside the Talent Acquisition team and People & Culture Partners on a daily basis.

Key responsibilities:

  • Contribute to running our compensation programs that support our wider organisational philosophy while ensuring strong governance.
  • Provide advice and counsel to the Talent Acquisition team and hiring managers through the offer negotiation process.
  • Work with compensation metrics, reports, and tools to inform compensation decisions and forecast, report, and/or analyse compensation outcomes.
  • Develop and implement reward and recognition frameworks for the full organisational structure at Google DeepMind.
  • Communicate effectively with senior partners and internal data & analytics teams to provide insights to the people analytics function, enabling insights-led business decisions.
  • Analyse available market data to assess competitiveness of total compensation offerings at all levels of the business.
  • Lead compensation projects from design through execution, including modelling, project planning, communicating, and training in partnership with the rest of the Reward & Recognition team.
  • Continuously evaluate the efficiency of compensation programs, innovating and recommending changes to improve the effectiveness of our investment in total rewards.

About you

In order to set you up for success as a Reward & Recognition Partner at Google DeepMind, we look for the following skills and experience:

  • Experience managing complex reward programs and creating and improving processes. Ideally, this would be in a tech company.
  • Ability to assimilate ambiguous information from a wide variety of sources to provide meaningful and timely insights to inform decisions, and you are comfortable communicating these findings.
  • You can run with a brief and are comfortable dealing with some ambiguity. When something you are working on changes, you adapt comfortably with a readiness to learn.
  • You possess exceptional attention to detail.
  • Proven experience of handling sensitive data with confidentiality and care.
  • You conduct research and test hypotheses to input into formulation of business approaches, and seek out feedback from others in determining priorities.
  • You are proficient using Google Sheets, with strong analytical skills.
  • You are collaborative in your approach to stakeholder management. You regularly form project proposals, including improvements to processes or ways of working.
  • You are highly organised with experience of managing your own workload across an array of activity and projects.
  • Agile and flexible, you are looking to learn from others at every opportunity.
  • You have experience partnering with other teams and have good communication skills, with a natural ability to build relationships across an organisation, instilling trust and creating understanding.

In addition, the following would be an advantage:

  • Having worked in a tech company or company with similar talent challenges (such as unique skills, competition for talent).
  • Enjoy a fast paced environment with frequent change.
  • Experience using SQL and/or other databases to pull data.
  • Knowledge of competitor landscape - be that in terms of other AI research companies or the Bay Area.

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.
