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!
Alternatively, you can refer a friend or colleague by taking part in our fantastic referral schemes! If you have a friend or colleague who would be interested in this role, please refer them to us. For each relevant candidate that you introduce to us (there is no limit) and we place, you will be entitled to our general gift/voucher scheme

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.
