  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Clinical Operations, Medical Affairs, Regulatory Affairs) to ensure accurate and timely statistical deliverables.

Real-World Evidence (RWE)

  • Design and execute observational studies using diverse RWD sources (claims, EHRs, registries, digital health).
  • Apply causal inference techniques (e.g., propensity score methods, inverse probability weighting, marginal structural models).
  • Contribute to evidence generation plans for regulatory filings, HTA submissions, label expansions, and post-authorization safety studies.
  • Participate in real-world effectiveness studies, external control arm development, and burden of disease analyses.
  • Prepare SAS programs for statistical analyses and output (tables, listings, figures), collaborating with programmers.
  • Provide statistical input for scientific publications and public event presentations.
  • Attend Project Teams for technical support.
  • Interact with Drug Safety Unit for pharmacovigilance data evaluation (signal detection).
  • Interact with Medical Department (CPL, CRA) and Clinical Operations (drug supply officer, medical writer) for clinical study data preparation and analysis.
  • Lead development, maintenance, and adherence to divisional SOPs and guidelines.

Data Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK data science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise rigorous problem framing, high‑quality analytics & modelling, experiment/causality, production awareness (MLOps), governance/ethics, and measurable product or commercial impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for product/data scientists, applied ML scientists, decision scientists, econometricians, growth/marketing analysts, and ML‑adjacent data scientists supporting LLM/AI products. Who this is for: Product/decision/data scientists, applied ML scientists, econometrics & causal inference specialists, experimentation leads, analytics engineers crossing into DS, ML generalists with strong statistics, and data scientists collaborating with platform/MLOps teams in the UK.

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.

Data Science Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Science Department

Data science is one of the most in-demand, dynamic, and multidisciplinary areas in the UK tech and business landscape. Organisations from finance, retail, health, government, and beyond are using data to drive decisions, automate processes, personalise services, predict trends, detect fraud, and more. To do that well, companies don’t just need good data scientists; they need teams with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, workflows, collaboration, and governance. If you're aiming for a role in data science or recruiting for one, understanding the structure of a data science department—and who does what—can make all the difference. This article breaks down the key roles, how they interact across the lifecycle of a data science project, what skills and qualifications are typical in the UK, expected salary ranges, challenges, trends, and how to build or grow an effective team.
