The Future of Data Science Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Data science has rapidly evolved into one of the most important disciplines of the 21st century. Once a niche field combining elements of statistics and computer science, it is now at the heart of decision-making across industries. Businesses, governments, and charities rely on data scientists to uncover insights, forecast trends, and build predictive models that shape strategy. In the UK, data science has become central to economic growth. From the NHS using data to improve patient outcomes to financial institutions modelling risk, the applications are endless. The UK’s thriving tech hubs in London, Cambridge, and Manchester are creating high demand for data talent, with salaries often outpacing other technology roles. Yet despite its current importance, data science is still in its infancy. Advances in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, automation, and ethics will transform what data scientists do. Many of the most vital data science jobs of the next two decades don’t exist yet. This article explores why new careers are emerging, the roles likely to appear, how current jobs will evolve, why the UK is well positioned, and how professionals can prepare now.

Pre-Employment Checks for Data Science Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in data science reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of statistical analysis, machine learning innovation, and strategic business intelligence. Data scientists often have privileged access to comprehensive datasets, proprietary algorithms, and business-critical insights that form the foundation of organisational strategy and competitive positioning. The data science industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning GDPR, sector-specific data protection requirements, and emerging AI governance regulations. Data scientists must demonstrate not only technical competence in statistical modelling and machine learning but also deep understanding of research ethics, data privacy principles, and the societal implications of algorithmic decision-making. Modern data science roles frequently involve analysing personally identifiable information, financial data, healthcare records, and sensitive business intelligence across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks simultaneously. The combination of analytical privilege, predictive capabilities, and strategic influence makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, security, and public trust in data-driven insights and automated systems.
