About Us

Lead Forensics is a leading UK-based SaaS company with products in the B2B sales and marketing space.

About the Role

We’re hiring our first AI Solutions Lead to drive real, measurable impact across our business.

You’ll work directly with senior leaders to identify where AI can remove friction, improve performance, and unlock efficiency—then design and deliver solutions that teams actually use.

This is a hands-on role in a highly successful scaling SaaS company. You’ll go from idea ? build ? deployed solution ? measurable results.

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with teams across Sales, CS, Finance, Marketing, People, and Compliance to identify AI opportunities

  • Build and own a prioritised AI workstack (what we’re doing, why, and impact)

  • Design, build, and deploy AI-enabled workflow improvements end-to-end

  • Prototype quickly, ship fast, and iterate based on real usage

  • Define success metrics and track impact (time saved, efficiency, performance gains)

  • Make pragmatic tooling decisions (build vs buy)

  • Ensure solutions meet security and compliance standards

  • Drive adoption so solutions stick and deliver value

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience delivering AI / GenAI solutions in a real business environment (not just demos)

  • Strong understanding of LLMs, RAG, and workflow/automation patterns

  • Ability to turn ambiguous problems into practical, shipped solutions

  • Hands-on builder—comfortable prototyping, integrating tools, and iterating quickly

  • Outcome-focused with a track record of measurable impact

  • Solid awareness of security and data considerations

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

  • A live AI workstack used to prioritise across the business

  • 2–3 shipped improvements with measurable impact

  • A clear, repeatable delivery process

  • Strong engagement from senior stakeholders

Why Join Us

  • First dedicated AI hire for business operations

  • High ownership and visibility with senior leadership

  • Focus on real impact—not theory

  • Opportunity to shape and build this capability as we scale

What We Offer in Return

  • An entrepreneurial environment built on ownership, accountability, autonomy, and trust

  • Employment with a fast-growing UK SaaS company

  • Competitive salary and benefits

  • A fantastic company culture with a strong “One Team” and growth mindset

  • Opportunities to give back through volunteer days, fundraisers, and charity initiatives

?? If you enjoy spotting opportunities, building practical AI solutions, and seeing immediate impact—this role is for you.

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data science jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that actually reach senior and lead data science talent. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data science hiring over the next three years — from MLE crossover to GenAI workflows. Data science has spent the past decade being described as the sexiest job of the twenty-first century. By 2026, the reality is both more nuanced and more interesting than that label ever suggested. The discipline has matured, fragmented, deepened, and in some respects reinvented itself — and the jobs market has changed with it in ways that create genuine opportunity for those who understand what employers actually want, and genuine difficulty for those still operating on assumptions formed five years ago. The data science jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. The generalist data scientist — equally comfortable wrangling data, building models, and presenting insights to the board — is giving way to a more specialised landscape where employers know exactly what problem they are trying to solve and are looking for candidates with the specific depth to solve it. Machine learning engineering, causal inference, experimentation, AI product development, and domain-specific applied science have all emerged as distinct career tracks within what was previously a single, loosely defined profession. At the same time, the arrival of large language models and the broader AI capability wave has both threatened and created data science roles in equal measure. Some of the work that junior data scientists spent their early careers doing — data cleaning, exploratory analysis, basic model building — is being partially automated by AI tooling. But the demand for practitioners who can evaluate AI systems rigorously, apply statistical thinking to complex business problems, and build the data foundations on which AI depends has grown considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what data scientists are expected to build and know, and how to position a data science career that will remain valuable as the field continues to evolve around them. This article breaks down what the UK data science jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
