Senior Data Scientist

Remote (quarterly travel to London)

Up to £75,000

We are working with a well-established media group with a diverse portfolio of household brands spanning publishing, entertainment, and digital products. The business is investing heavily in analytics and data, with the aim of transforming how customers experience their products and services.

You’ll be the first Data Scientist to join a team currently made up of analysts and Data Engineers, reporting directly into the CDO. This is a role with real scope for impact - delivering high-value projects across multiple brands, helping prove the case for data science, and laying the groundwork for a team that will grow around you.

What you’ll be doing

Apply data science to varied datasets across multiple brands and business areas.
Lead on projects such as:
Content personalisation – enriching and tagging large content libraries with AI to deliver smarter recommendations.
Customer segmentation & clustering – building behavioural insights to improve targeting and retention.
CRM optimisation – shaping push notifications, email, and advertising strategies with data-driven solutions.
Research engine development – partnering with external agencies to enhance access to customer insights.
Identify where data science can make the biggest difference and communicate that impact clearly to stakeholders.
Collaborate with Analysts, a Data Engineer, and Project Managers, while working alongside established Data Scientists in another brand within the group.

About you

A couple of years’ data science experience (open to ambitious candidates ready to step up).
Strong communicator - able to explain the “why” behind the work, not just the “how”.
Ideally from a background where you’ve had to be hands-on and proactive, rather than just one cog in a large machine.
Experience with subscriptions, publishing, or digital products is a plus, but not essential.
Education is less important than curiosity, drive, and the ability to deliver.

The process

Introductory interview
Take-home exercise (2–3 hours)
Presentation
Final culture fit conversations with the wider team

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.
