Data Scientist - 60k - 80k - Leeds (Hybrid) - AI / FinTech SaaS

Do you want to work with a business that partners with 400+ companies across 75+ countries, using AI to drive revenue and improve customer experience?

A business founded in 2016 that’s scaling globally, working with leaders across Travel, Ticketing, Hospitality and OTAs, and genuinely investing in people early in their careers?

A people-first, high-performance environment where being commercially minded, personable, and easy to work with matters just as much as technical ability?

An opportunity to join a fast-growing AI SaaS scale‑up as a Data Scientist acting as the analytical lead for partner performance and commercial strategy.

You’ll work together with Partnership Managers and external stakeholders, translating data into clear, actionable insights. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys collaboration and stakeholder interaction.

Joining a collaborative data team, you’ll focus on revenue, pricing, conversion and experimentation. You’ll design and run A/B tests, build commercial and pricing models, and create web apps and dashboards that enable non-technical teams to make data driven decisions. You’ll also play a key role in Gen AI initiatives, automating insights and improving partner reporting.

You’ll work end to end with data, from ingestion and pipelines in Azure, through modelling in Python, to presenting insights directly to partners and senior stakeholders.

The role offers a competitive salary, hybrid working from Leeds, clear progression, and the chance to work with smart, ambitious people in a genuinely growing AI business.

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

Advertising data science jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.
