I honestly believe some math is needed to work in the field. You should at least understand the concepts, which is doable with just one Calculus semester at graduate level. Nowadays, with MOOCs, Khan Academy, etc. this is definitely doable by anyone with a logical, structured mind. It just takes time and some effort. Precisely what it takes to learn any new trade.
This doesn't mean that if you know the math, you automatically qualify as a ML professional. But it will help you to "get it", as the most difficult bits you already master.
