Job Description:
AI Research Analyst (R&D)
AI, Automation & Emerging Technology
UK | Junior–Mid Level | 2+ Years Experience
About the Role
We’re building a disciplined R&D capability to explore emerging technologies, validate new approaches, and feed high-quality innovation into our Product and Engineering teams.
As our AI Research Analyst (R&D), you’ll generate the technical evidence that supports strategic decisions. You’ll research AI and automation technologies, evaluate vendors and tools, build (basic) timeboxed proofs of concept in Python and/or C#, and produce clear, decision-ready outputs.
This is not a BAU delivery role.
It’s structured, evidence-led innovation.
You’ll report functionally to the Head of R&D, with day-to-day coaching from the Senior R&D Engineer (Who is an accomplished Software Engineer)
Salary: £40 - £50K Basic + Bonus + Benefits package
Location: North East office, but remote across the UK is totally fine.
What You’ll Bring
Essential
*2+ years in a technical analyst, research, or solutions-focused role
*Some Hands-on coding ability in Python and/or C# (You’ll learn software engineering from the senior R&D engineer, who’ll learn R&D from you!)
*Practical understanding of AI/ML landscape (LLMs, APIs, strengths & limitations)
*Strong analytical thinking and structured evaluation skills
*Excellent written communication — clear, concise, decision-ready outputs
*Self-directed working style with confident stakeholder engagement
*Familiarity with workflow orchestration / BPMN fundamentals


Desirable
*Experience building AI-integrated applications
*API and cloud platform exposure
*Vendor/technology selection experience
*Knowledge of process automation or orchestration platforms


Why Join
*Direct exposure to cutting-edge AI and automation
*Real influence over technology decisions
*Clear progression into Senior R&D or specialist AI roles
*Close collaboration with Architecture, Engineering, and Product


We’re looking for curiosity and rigour in equal measure — someone excited by emerging AI, but disciplined enough to separate signal from noise.
