Data Scientist - Behavioural Intelligence Consulting


Permanent role, 4 days in the Central London office.


Are you a Data Scientist who wants to go deeper than dashboards and prediction models — and uncover the why behind human decision-making?


Are you excited by the idea of combining analytics, experimentation, AI and behavioural science to shape how people think, decide and act?

If so, this role offers the chance to do truly meaningful, career-defining work.


About the Role

A growing consultancy at the forefront of behavioural science and human-centred design is expanding its Behavioural Intelligence capability — blending data science, behavioural analytics, experimentation and AI.


We’re looking for a curious, commercially minded Data Scientist who enjoys solving complex problems, finding behavioural patterns in data, and turning insights into simple, powerful stories.

You’ll work alongside behavioural scientists, researchers and consultants to deliver analytical projects for major clients across industries such as finance, retail, energy and utilities.

It’s the ideal next step for someone with solid technical foundations who wants to broaden into consulting, experimentation, behavioural analytics and insight-led storytelling.


What You'll Do

Analyse Behavioural & Customer Data

  • Work with varied datasets (implicit response data, transactions, qualitative transcripts).
  • Build clustering, segmentation, predictive and ML models to explain and forecast behaviour.
  • Support experimental design, hypothesis testing and behavioural measurement.


Create Impactful Insights

  • Translate analytical findings into clear, behavioural and commercially grounded recommendations.
  • Present insights to non-technical stakeholders and support consultants on client programmes.


Improve Tools & Workflows

  • Contribute to reproducible code, documentation and internal data practices.
  • Support automation, pipeline development and embedding analytics into client solutions.


Work Across Disciplines

  • Partner with behavioural scientists, designers and strategists to combine data with human insight.
  • Help develop the consultancy’s Behavioural Intelligence toolkit and AI-enabled ways of working.


What You Bring

  • Around 2–5 years of experience in data science or applied analytics.
  • Strong skills in Python and SQL (R a bonus).
  • Experience with machine learning techniques (clustering, regression, NLP, ensemble methods).
  • Good grounding in statistics (hypothesis testing, regression, experimental design basics).
  • Ability to distil complex technical results into simple, engaging narratives.
  • Curiosity about human behaviour and decision-making.
  • Experience running end-to-end analytics projects.


Nice to have:

  • Cloud experience (Azure, AWS or GCP).
  • NLP / text analytics.
  • Exposure to A/B testing.
  • Understanding of behavioural science principles.


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Work at the intersection of data science and behavioural science — a rare and exciting blend.
  • Solve meaningful, human-centred problems with real-world impact.
  • Grow in a multidisciplinary environment that mixes behavioural research, consulting and AI.
  • Join a culture that values curiosity, experimentation, rigour and continuous learning.


Benefits include: season ticket loan, cycle-to-work scheme, discounted gym membership, health screening & dental cover, EAP, free annual eye test, a well-stocked office kitchen and regular team socials.

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.

New Data Science Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Leading Analytics and AI Innovation

Data science has emerged as one of the most transformative forces across industries, turning raw information into actionable insights, predictive models, and AI-powered solutions. In 2026, the UK is witnessing a surge in organisations where data science is not just a support function but the core of their products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.DataScience-Jobs.co.uk , identifying these employers early can provide a competitive advantage in a market with high demand for advanced analytics and machine learning expertise. This article highlights new and high-growth data science employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK startups, scale-ups, and global firms expanding their data science operations locally. All of the companies included have recently raised investment, won high-profile contracts, or significantly scaled their analytics teams.

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.
