This position combines advanced analytics, predictive modelling, and automation to optimize how we target, engage, and grow our customer base. You will apply your expertise to deliver actionable insights, scalable data models, and AI-driven solutions that directly enhance revenue performance across both new customer acquisition and existing account expansion. Working closely with Product Owners (ABX and CDP), the ABX Targeting & Insights Specialist, and the Data Lead, you will operationalize analytics that elevate our go-to-market strategies.

  • Automate key data transformations and quality checks to support seamless campaign execution.
  • AI and Automation: Identify and prototype machine learning applications that streamline processes, improve data accuracy, and enhance personalization.
  • Evaluate ROI and scale successful models into production-ready solutions.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Communicate analytical findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders, providing actionable recommendations to drive campaign effectiveness.
  • Maintain alignment with GTM analytics teams, ensuring clear separation between data science insights and performance reporting.
  • Continuous Improvement: Track and report on model accuracy, business impact, and optimization opportunities.
  • Stay informed on emerging ML tools, libraries, and best practices relevant to ABX and CDP workflows.

Skills and Experience

  • Proven experience in data science, machine learning, or advanced analytics, preferably in a marketing, revenue, or customer experience environment.
  • Proficiency in Python, SQL, and common data science frameworks.
  • Experience with Customer Data Platforms (e.g., Segment) and automated data pipeline management.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate technical findings into strategic recommendations.
  • Excellent communication skills and experience engaging with cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders.

Why Join Us

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.
