INDUSTRY
CHALLENGES
The Data & AI industry, like many areas within STEM, has long struggled with creating a diverse workforce.
Despite abundant evidence highlighting how diverse workforces perform better financially, see better retention, and have higher employee and customer satisfaction, many businesses still struggle with Diversity & Inclusion at a base level.
At Harnham, we are acutely aware of the Diversity and workforce-related challenges facing employers today. As we are in a unique position to promote better D&I across the industry, we have taken several steps to ensure that our recruitment process provides opportunities and does not further the problem. These include:
SMART
PARTNERSHIPS
As industry experts, we speak on Diversity at numerous events throughout the year where we are able to encourage diverse talent pools from various groups, including universities, to pursue and flourish in careers in the Data & AI industry. We also make a concerted effort to give a platform to a diverse range of speakers at our own events, such as our bi-monthly LinkedIn Live sessions, where we often focus on diverse industry leaders and their individual stories.
We also closely partner with three key organisations:
APSCo
WOMEN IN RECRUITMENT
We are dedicated to demonstrating gender equality to employees, clients and candidates. We are part of APSCO’s Women in Recruitment Initiative, which works to attract, develop and retain female talent.
It gives individuals access to unique development tools, mentoring and networking opportunities designed to support successful and sustainable careers for women in recruitment.
WOMEN IN
DATA
A non-profit organisation with a mission to increase diversity in the data industry, Women In Data provide awareness, education and advancement to women in tech - specifically analytics, Data Science, Machine Learning and AI.
We offer training webinars and educational resources, as well as a direct referral scheme where Women In Data send us candidates looking to enter the industry or searching for a new challenge. All referrals are provided with comprehensive and tailored advice. The focus is to offer more opportunities to women in the industry, in particular at leadership levels.
BLACK IN
DATA
Diversity and equality at work is crucial not only for social justice but also for the development of a thriving and adaptable data and technology industry in a dynamic world.
We partner with organisations such as ‘Black In Data’ which aim to accelerate the pace of positive change. This in turn enables us to be able to educate the industry, support those just entering it and raise vital awareness of this mentoring organisation.
DESIGNING SEARCHES
FOR INCLUSIVITY
Our clients are increasingly looking for diverse shortlists. We approach each search with an entrepreneurial mindset, getting under the skin of your business, its culture and your short- and long-term goals. This allows us to better identify those sectors or companies where the right candidates can be found, and conduct cross-sector searches for a wider pool of diverse candidates.
We recognise that If you want to attract a more diverse candidate pool, the language you use in your job posting and interactions with potential candidates makes a huge difference. For example, a study on job postings found that those using masculine-type words like “ambitious” and “dominate” were less appealing to female applicants. We review our adverts with this in mind to help eliminate bias and remove any unnecessary barriers.
JOB ADVERT
VETTING
DIVERSE
SOURCES
Our team rarely rely on the same sources when seeking out new candidates. Focusing on only the sources that we know best can result in a talent pool of similar candidates and a lack of diversity. To help ensure that our talent pool is full of diverse candidates, we can source from a variety of different places including online and offline groups dedicated to highlighting diverse candidates.
Our annual ‘State of Diversity in Data & AI’ report covers new research into gender and ethnicity splits, pay gaps, age and class dynamics, and the employee benefits divide. Conducting and reporting on this research allows us to not only better understand the market, but to share our findings with key decision-makers across the industry which enables us to guide our clients on Diversity and marketing dynamics. You can download our guides here.

ADVISING
OUR CLIENTS
Many businesses are frequently looking to improve their diversity. We work closely with our clients to advise them on how they can make increase their diversity in legal and effective ways.
Our own culture reflects the way we operate as a business and helps us influence conventions within today’s talent marketplace. Low attrition and promotion from within are the hallmarks of our truly multinational and multicultural team: our London HQ alone employs people of 14 different nationalities (speaking 13 different languages), and more than half of our global workforce is female. Additionally, our employee-led Diversity Steering Group ensures that issues surrounding D&I internally have a voice, while our CEO sits on the Steering Committee of Women in Recruitment, of which we are members.

PermanentRomford, London

Up to £60,000 + up to 20% bonus
Hybrid – London (2 days per month in Romford)
I’m hiring a Customer Experience Optimisation Manager to join a growing, tech‑focused insurance business and take ownership of experimentation and optimisation across the full customer journey.
This is a high‑impact role, owning how the business tests, learns, and improves performance across marketing and digital channels.
The company
A modern, fast‑growing travel insurance provider operating across multiple brands, focused on delivering strong customer experiences in a highly regulated space.
They sit somewhere between a tech business and a traditional insurer – meaning fast‑paced, data‑driven, and highly commercial.
The role
You’ll be responsible for building and owning the experimentation strategy across the business, working across marketing, customer experience, and product teams.
This is not a narrow product analytics role – it’s holistic experimentation ownership across all channels.
What you’ll be doing
- Own the experimentation roadmap and CRO strategy across the full customer journey
- Design and run A/B tests across email, website, and direct marketing channels
- Identify customer pain points and define optimisation opportunities
- Work with UX, engineering, and marketing teams to implement tests and improvements
- Analyse results and turn findings into scalable business improvements
- Build frameworks for testing, measurement, and continuous optimisation
- Drive a culture of data‑driven experimentation across the business
What you bring
Must‑haves
- Strong experience working in CRO / experimentation / optimisation roles
- Proven experience owning an experimentation roadmap (not just contributing)
- Hands‑on experience running A/B and multivariate testing at scale
- Experience identifying customer journey pain points and driving improvements
- Strong stakeholder skills – able to work across marketing, product, and tech
- Experience with experimentation tools (e.g. Optimizely, VWO, AB Tasty, etc)
Strongly preferred
- Experience in insurance, financial services, telecoms, or regulated industries
- Experience across multiple channels (email, website, direct marketing)
- Background in conversion rate optimisation or digital performance
- Experience in fast‑paced, commercial environments (e.g. retail, travel, eCommerce)
Not the right fit if:
- You’re a pure product analyst who only occasionally runs tests
- You haven’t owned end‑to‑end experimentation strategy
- Your experience is heavily skewed toward reporting, not testing
What they’re looking for
- 5-6+ years’ experience
- A confident, independent operator – able to own this function end‑to‑end
- Strong commercial mindset and focus on measurable outcomes
- Someone who can translate testing into real business impact
The team
- Reports into Head of Marketing / Customer Experience
- Works alongside marketing, CRM, UX, and product teams
- Dedicated CX function already in place – this role adds deep experimentation capability
Why this role
- Full ownership of experimentation across an entire business
- Opportunity to shape a CRO capability from the ground up
- High visibility across senior stakeholders
- Work in a fast‑growing, modern insurance business
- Flexible hybrid working (only 2 days per month in office)
Package
- Up to £60,000 salary
- Up to 20% discretionary bonus
Interview process
- Stage 1: Intro conversation
- Stage 2: Technical + presentation (experimentation focus)
- Final stage: Leadership discussion
If you’re someone who has owned experimentation end‑to‑end and wants a role with genuine autonomy and impact, this is a great opportunity.

Candidate – Senior Data Engineer
I've been a Senior Data Engineer for about 4-5 years and Harnham is one of the best recruitment agencies I worked with. There was a time when my offer fell through and the recruiter I was working with at Harnham jumped in to the rescue and scheduled interviews for me within a couple of days. Really good agency and some great people.
