Data Scientist
Location:Manchester (Hybrid - 2 to 3 days on-site)
Salary:Up to £55,000 + benefits
Industry:eCommerce

I'm recruiting on behalf of a fast-growing eCommerce business in Manchester that's looking for a Data Scientist to join their team. It's a hands-on role with a real opportunity to build and deploy machine learning models that directly impact how they serve and retain customers.

They've got rich datasets from web traffic, transactions, and customer behaviour and they're keen to turn that into smarter recommendations, better pricing strategies, and predictive insights that drive growth.

You'll be leading on end-to-end model development: exploring the data, experimenting with algorithms, tuning performance, and deploying models into production. This isn't a research role, they want someone who enjoys solving real business problems and seeing their work make a difference.

What they're looking for:

  • Strong Python skills and experience with ML libraries like scikit-learn, TensorFlow or PyTorch

  • A good understanding of the full ML lifecycle - from data wrangling to live deployment

  • Comfortable working with both structured and unstructured datasets

  • Ideally some experience deploying models via APIs or using cloud platforms like AWS or GCP

Bonus if you have:

  • Experience of Regression Modelling, Time Series Forecasting and Cluster Modelling

  • Familiarity with recommendation systems, customer segmentation or demand forecasting

They're a collaborative bunch, data has real buy-in across the business, and you'll be working closely with product managers, marketers, and engineers. It's a great opportunity to join a business that's scaling up fast, with plenty of room to grow your career as they expand.

If it sounds like a fit, drop me a message and I'll tell you more.

Neurodiversity in Data Science Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Data science is all about turning messy, real-world information into decisions, products & insights. It sits at the crossroads of maths, coding, business & communication – which means it needs people who see patterns, ask unusual questions & challenge assumptions. That makes data science a natural fit for many neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & thinking about a data science career, you might have heard comments like “you’re too distracted for complex analysis”, “too literal for stakeholder work” or “too disorganised for large projects”. In reality, the same traits that can make traditional environments difficult often line up beautifully with data science work. This guide is written for data science job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a data science context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common data science roles Practical workplace adjustments you can request under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in data science – & how to turn “different thinking” into a real career advantage.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.
