London (Hybrid working 3 office days per week)

Salary DOE £40,000-£45,000

Additional Benefits: Gym Membership, Pension and yearly bonus

Job Reference: J12950

We're excited to be hiring for a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing, independent marketing effectiveness agency that genuinely puts its people first.
This is a chance for someone who wants to be a bigger fish in a smaller sea to step into a role where you can truly make your mark, have real influence, and accelerate your career growth as we continue to scale. With a loyal and diverse client base, and a culture built on support and empowerment, you'll be part of a team where your ideas are heard and your impact is recognised.

We're looking for a motivated and capable Econometrician / Data Scientist with 2-3 years of hands-on experience in Marketing Mix Modelling (MMM). Experience within the FMCG sector would be a bonus, but it's not essential.

Roles and Responsibilities
• This role is well-suited for candidates who have a strong analytical mindset and prefer working behind the scenes with data
• Leading the modelling process from briefing, data exploration, and variable selection through to model building, interpretation, and being involved in the presentation of results (interim and final debriefs will be presented by the Account Director)
• Creating clear and insightful output decks for both internal stakeholders and client presentations

Experience & Skills Required
• Strong econometric modelling skills using tools such as R, Python, or other statistical software packages (e.g., EViews, SAS)
• Experience with model validation, diagnostics, and performance metrics
• Ability to handle large datasets, clean and transform raw data, and apply advanced statistical techniques such as regression, lag structures, adstock, saturation, and interaction effects
• The successful candidate will be expected to take full ownership of modelling projects, from raw data ingestion through to final model delivery and client-ready outputs, with minimal supervision.

If this sounds like you then please apply!

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Data Science: Embracing the Next Frontier

Data science has undergone a staggering transformation in the past decade, evolving from a niche academic discipline into a linchpin of modern industry. Across every sector—finance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing—data scientists have become indispensable, leveraging statistical methods and machine learning to turn raw information into actionable insights. Yet as datasets grow ever larger and machine learning models become more computationally expensive, there are genuine questions about how far current methods can be pushed. Enter quantum computing, a nascent but promising technology grounded in the counterintuitive principles of quantum mechanics. Often dismissed just a few years ago as purely experimental, quantum computing is quickly gaining traction as prototypes evolve into cloud-accessible machines. When paired with artificial intelligence—particularly in the realm of data science—the results could be game-changing. From faster model training and complex optimisation to entirely new forms of data analysis, quantum-enhanced AI stands poised to disrupt established practices and create new opportunities. In this article, we will: Explore how data science has reached its current limits in certain areas, and why classical hardware might no longer suffice. Provide an accessible overview of quantum computing concepts and how they differ from classical systems. Examine the potential of quantum-enhanced AI to solve key data science challenges, from data wrangling to advanced machine learning. Highlight real-world applications, emerging job roles, and the skills you need to thrive in this new landscape. Offer actionable steps for data professionals eager to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving field. Whether you’re a practising data scientist, a student weighing up your future specialisations, or an executive curious about the next technological leap, read on. The quantum era may be closer than you think, and it promises to radically transform the very fabric of data science.
