Delivery Associate
How many spare NHS beds will there be next week and are our healthcare services going to run out of ventilators? How can the UK Government identify and tackle fake news when millions of posts are uploaded each day? Is it possible to predict which one of a million financial transactions is fraudulent and prevent it? These are just some of the questions our Associates help answer every day.

What we can offer you:
The Faculty team is diverse and distinctive, and we all come from different personal, professional and organisational backgrounds.

This curiosity pushes us to seek truth and understanding in everything we do, to execute work in a nimble and pragmatic manner, to foster talent in one another and always to challenge assumptions.
Faculty is the professional challenge of a lifetime. You’ll be surrounded by an impressive group of brilliant minds working to advance our goal of making artificial intelligence real.

Fostering talent is one of our core values, it’s built into our culture and what we offer. An incredible, unique learning and development system: Faculty was founded by people who are passionate about continuous learning, and adding value to our people. Genuinely flexible working: We believe people have needs, responsibilities and interests that require something different to a strict working day. We trust people to organise and take accountability for their own work and do our best to support their lives outside Faculty. Equity, we want you to benefit from Faculty’s growth and success.
