Head of Data - London - Messy Data / Web Crawlers / Data Aggregation High Growth B2B SaaS AI & Machine Learning Platform £90,000 - £100,000 + Significant Equity I am working with a scaling London based technology business where Machine Learning and AI sit at the core of the product. The platform is built around a large-scale dataset created by crawling the web and collecting millions of listings from multiple external sources. That raw data is then structured, matched and analysed to power a suite of SaaS tools used across the market. One of the core technical challenges is that the same entity can appear multiple times across different sources, often with slightly different attributes or descriptions. The platform uses a combination of neural networks and rule based systems to match records and build a reliable dataset over time. They are now hiring a Head of Data to take ownership of their data and AI platform. The Opportunity This is a hands-on leadership role where you will lead a team of 5-6 across Data Science and Data Engineering while remaining technically involved in modelling, machine learning deployment and architectural decisions. The platform runs on AWS and includes large-scale crawlers ingesting significant volumes of external data. However, the architecture has evolved over time and data currently sits across multiple siloed systems. They need someone who understands what good looks like in a modern data platform and can bring structure, coherence and technical direction. You will take ownership of improving the data architecture, strengthening the matching systems and defining a clear data and AI roadmap for the business. Key Areas of Focus Designing and improving a scalable AWS based data platform Rationalising fragmented data across multiple systems Leading the full machine learning lifecycle from ingestion and feature engineering through to deployment Improving neural network and rule based matching systems used to identify the same entities across different sources Embedding robust MLOps and model monitoring Building a coherent data architecture that supports future AI development Leading and developing a team of Data Scientists and Data Engineers The Background That Works Well Relevant experience in environments that deal with messy data from multiple external sources might include: Web crawling or large-scale web data ingestion Marketplace or data aggregation platforms Entity resolution, record linkage or deduplication systems Matching systems or recommendation engines Geospatial or address based data platforms ML systems deployed into production You do not need sector experience, but you should be comfortable working with complex datasets where the same entity appears across multiple sources. What They Are Looking For Strong Data Science background with hands on machine learning experience Experience deploying ML models into production environments Understanding of data engineering concepts and modern cloud data platforms Architectural thinking around data platforms and ML systems Experience working with messy, multi source datasets Leadership experience managing small, high impact teams Someone proactive who can define standards and shape the data roadmap Package Salary: £90,000 - £100,000 Equity: Meaningful equity with real upside (3 year vesting) Location: London - Hybrid working, typically 2-3 days in the office with a pragmatic approach to flexibility This is a high ownership role where you will be shaping the foundations of a data and AI platform inside a scaling technology business. If you enjoy solving complex data problems, building scalable machine learning systems and leading a small but impactful team, I would be keen to speak.

Leadership knows your name. Your wins directly shape company strategy. You're not a number in a massive sales org. Real Freedom: We trust you to figure out what works. Test approaches, challenge assumptions, move fast. We'll support you but we won't micromanage you. Values That Matter: We're about solving real problems, not just pushing product. If you want to sell by creating genuine value, you'll fit right in. Growth Potential : 50% revenue growth over three years. This isn't just growth for growth's sake - it's profitable, sustainable, and creates real opportunity for you. Direct Access: You'll work directly with the Commercial Director and Managing Director. Your input matters. Your market intelligence gets heard. You influence where we go next. Build Something: If you get this right, you won't just have a job - you'll have helped build a sales function, validated a market strategy, and positioned yourself for leadership. That's way more interesting than just hitting quota in someone else's machine. This is a great opportunity to join an established and continually fast growing business where you will have the opportunity to assist with the shape of further growth, and be rewarded with career development and opportunity to head up future functions.
