Are you passionate about revolutionising engineering with AI? Here at MonolithAI we're on a mission to empower engineers to use AI to solve even their most intractable physics problems. For example, developing next-gen EV batteries that charge faster and last longer. We experienced serious growth over the past year, and we have ambitious plans moving forward. It's an exciting time, and to continue our growth we are recruiting a Head of Forward-Deployed Engineering & Data Science.

The Role

You'll build and lead a world-class Forward-Deployed team (Forward-Deployed Engineers and Forward-Deployed Data Scientists) that ensures every customer realises full value from Monolith. You'll help and coach the team that translate ideas into production applications, ensuring every customer engagement is a success story. Your role is critical in driving AI adoption in some of the world largest engineering companies, whom we're lucky to call clients.

In this role, you will:

Lead & scale a fully remote, customer-facing forward-deployed team, setting clear goals, career paths, and a culture of high ownership.
Own customer value: drive customer renewal and expansion by ensuring our AI applications deliver measurable ROI for every account.
Own executive relationships: cultivate trusted relationships with our strategic customers while acting as their technical sounding board
Champion customer obsession: instil a culture of agency, bias for action, and relentless focus on customer success.
Close the loop: channel feedback into the product roadmap and ensure expansion opportunities are promptly flagged to Sales
Build for scale: introduce playbooks, tooling, and processes that multiply impact without multiplying headcount.

What we're looking for

Proven leadership of customer facing technical teams (Engineering, DS), either at a consultancy firm or Enterprise SaaS company. Ideally you have experience with AI/ML products.
Full stack: equally comfortable in C-suite strategy sessions and technical deep dives.
AI fluency: you can understand model drift, data quality gaps, and feature engineering - even if you're not coding daily.
Bias for action & customer obsession: you measure your success in renewal, expansion, and advocacy metrics.
Nice-to-haves: Python/SQL skills, engineering-domain expertise (e.g., batteries, automotive)

The Future of Data Science Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Data science has rapidly evolved into one of the most important disciplines of the 21st century. Once a niche field combining elements of statistics and computer science, it is now at the heart of decision-making across industries. Businesses, governments, and charities rely on data scientists to uncover insights, forecast trends, and build predictive models that shape strategy. In the UK, data science has become central to economic growth. From the NHS using data to improve patient outcomes to financial institutions modelling risk, the applications are endless. The UK’s thriving tech hubs in London, Cambridge, and Manchester are creating high demand for data talent, with salaries often outpacing other technology roles. Yet despite its current importance, data science is still in its infancy. Advances in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, automation, and ethics will transform what data scientists do. Many of the most vital data science jobs of the next two decades don’t exist yet. This article explores why new careers are emerging, the roles likely to appear, how current jobs will evolve, why the UK is well positioned, and how professionals can prepare now.
