Marketing Data Scientist / Econometrician


Location:London (Hybrid Working)

Contract Type:Initial 12 month contract + potential to extend long-term due to 3/4 year project scope.

Start Date:ASAP


We have an excellent opportunity for a Marketing Data Scientist / Econometrician to join a leading FMCG Brand, Initial 12 month contract + opportunity to extend long-term.


This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-performing Data Science team focused on advancing marketing effectiveness through advanced econometric modelling—including Bayesian Marketing Mix Modelling (MMM), Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA), and data-driven optimization strategies.


Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage data workflows: data extraction, transformation, validation, and exploratory analysis to ensure modelling-readiness.
  • Build and refine Bayesian MMM models that capture the drivers of key marketing and commercial KPIs.
  • Use Python (and optionally R) to design, build, and improve base and advanced models—integrating prior knowledge, probabilistic reasoning, and real-world constraints.
  • Develop and present ROI workbooks, response curves, and optimization frameworks for marketing budget allocation.
  • Run scenario-based simulations to support strategic planning and forward-looking marketing investment decisions.
  • Validate and stress-test models, identifying opportunities for improvement and ensuring robustness, interpretability, and business relevance.


Requirements

  • Extensive experience in building and deploying Marketing Mix Models, with a strong focus on Bayesian methods.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Python, especially with pandas, NumPy, and probabilistic programming libraries such as PyMC.
  • Experience with R is a bonus, particularly for MMM-related workflows.
  • Deep understanding of regression modelling, Bayesian inference, hierarchical models, and MCMC techniques.
  • Proven ability to handle and analyse large, complex datasets using SQL and/or Spark.
  • Solid knowledge of applied statistics, modelling techniques, and the mathematical underpinnings of inference and simulation.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure preferred) and modern data science toolkits.
  • Advanced degree (MSc or PhD) in Statistics, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.


Preferred Attributes

  • Strong foundation in optimization, simulation modelling, and decision analytics.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate complex Bayesian models into strategic insights and practical business outcomes.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across marketing, analytics, and commercial teams.

Data Science Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Languages & Platforms to Learn Now

The UK’s data science job market is evolving fast—from forecasting models and AI assistants to real-time decision systems. In 2026, data scientists aren’t just expected to build models—they’re responsible for shaping insights that fuel everything from patient care to predictive banking. Welcome to the Data Science Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your essential annual guide to the languages, tools, and platforms driving demand across the UK. Whether you’re entering the job market or reskilling mid-career, this roadmap helps you prioritise the skills that matter most right now.

How to Find Hidden Data Science Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RSS, BCS & More

The data science job market in the UK is thriving—but also increasingly competitive. As organisations in finance, healthcare, retail, government, and tech accelerate digital transformation, the demand for data talent has soared. Yet many of the best data science jobs are never posted publicly. They’re shared behind closed doors—within professional networks, at invite-only events, or through member-only mailing lists and specialist interest groups. These “hidden” roles are often filled through referrals, collaborations, or direct outreach to trusted experts. In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock these hidden opportunities by engaging with key UK professional bodies such as the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), and Turing Society, plus communities like PyData and AI UK. You’ll learn how to use directories, CPD events, and networks to move beyond job boards—and into roles where you’re approached, not just applying.

How to Get a Better Data Science Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy can be tough to face, especially in a competitive field like data science. But it’s important to know: your experience, analytical thinking, and modelling skills are still in demand. Across sectors like healthcare, finance, e-commerce, government and AI startups, UK employers continue to seek data scientists who can deliver value through insight, prediction, and automation. This guide will walk you through how to bounce back from redundancy with purpose and clarity—whether you're a data analyst looking to step up, a mid-level data scientist, or a machine learning specialist seeking a better-aligned opportunity.
