Senior Data Scientist

£70,000-£90,000 + Stock Options

London (Hybrid)

Are you an optimisation expert ready to make a real-world impact? This is your chance to join my client, a well-funded, fast-growing start up that is reshaping how supply chains operate across logistics, retail, and hospitality.

In this role, you'll take ownership of building and deploying advanced optimisation models that drive immediate business outcomes. You'll work closely with a small, talented data science team where your expertise won't get lost in layers of hierarchy; instead, every model you design will directly influence client operations and company growth.

The company has already secured major enterprise clients and boasts strong investor backing, giving you the rare mix of start up agility with financial stability. With a modern platform already in place, you'll have the freedom to push boundaries, experiment with cutting-edge optimisation, and explore opportunities to integrate machine learning and natural language interaction into next-generation solutions.

Why this role stands out:

Work on cutting-edge optimisation problems with direct impact on global supply chains.

Join a well-funded startup with strong investor backing and a secure financial runway.

Be part of a small, talented data science team where your contributions are highly visible.

Opportunity to shape the product and roadmap, not just deliver incremental improvements.

Freedom to explore machine learning and NLP alongside optimisation.

Hybrid setup: 1-2 days a week in central London, with flexibility around the rest.

Package: £70,000-£90,000 base salary, share options, and private healthcare.

What you'll be doing:

Designing and deploying advanced optimisation models that solve complex, high-value problems.

Taking solutions from research into production-ready Python code.

Collaborating closely with the Head of Data Science and founders on product direction.

Partnering with enterprise clients to deliver measurable operational improvements.

What we're looking for:

Deep expertise in optimisation/operations research (linear, integer, or mixed-integer programming).

Strong Python engineering skills, with experience in model deployment.

Familiarity with supply chain, logistics, retail, pharma, or warehousing highly desirable.

Experience in well-regarded teams or companies with strong development practices.

Someone who can add value immediately - this is a senior, hands-on role.

If you're ready to take on a high-impact role where your work shapes both the product and the company's future, we'd love to hear from you.

If you feel this role is of interest to you and aligns with your skillset, please apply here or send an up-to date CV to (url removed). Or, alternatively, give me a call on (phone number removed) (ext. 7730)

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.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Data Science Jobs Hub

Data science is arguably the most transformative technological field of the 21st century.

As organisations leverage data more rapidly—from retailers predicting customer behaviour to health providers diagnosing conditions—demand for proficiency in data science continues to surge. The United Kingdom is particularly well-positioned to become a global data science jobs hub. With world-class universities, a strong tech sector, growing AI infrastructure, and supportive policy environments, the UK is poised for growth. This article delves into why the UK could emerge as a leading destination for data science careers, explores the job market’s current state, outlines future opportunities, highlights challenges, and charts what must happen to realise this vision.
