Job Description

Job Title: Chief Data Scientist
Location: Hybrid - London
Salary: Up to £125,000

A pioneering data and analytics company is seeking a Chief Data Scientist to lead and grow a high-performing team working at the forefront of machine learning and predictive modelling.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role focused on delivering production-grade models in areas such as Automated Valuation Models (AVMs) and propensity modelling. You will take full ownership of the end-to-end data science lifecycle-from problem scoping to model deployment-while also setting technical standards, shaping strategy, and managing a team of three skilled data scientists.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage a team of 3 data scientists, fostering a high-performance and collaborative culture
  • Own the end-to-end development of predictive models, including AVMs and propensity models
  • Work closely with data engineering and product teams to integrate models into scalable solutions
  • Set the vision and strategy for data science within the business, championing best practices and innovation
  • Communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Guide experimentation, model validation, and continuous performance monitoring
  • Contribute to long-term planning for the company's data science roadmap

    Tech Environment

  • Strong emphasis on Python and cloud-based data science tooling
  • Experience with model deployment in production is essential
  • Understanding of real estate or consumer behaviour data is a bonus, but not required

    About You

  • Proven experience leading small data science teams in a commercial setting
  • Strong expertise in machine learning, particularly with propensity modelling / AVM's
  • Deep experience with end-to-end model development and deployment
  • Confident working in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
  • Comfortable operating at both strategic and technical levels
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills

    This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact at a company where data science sits at the core of the product and strategy. You'll be a key voice in shaping how machine learning drives growth, innovation, and commercial outcomes.

    Please register your interest for this role by sending your CV to Rosie O'Callaghan via the apply link on this page
