Partner and Community Support Executive | REC CertRR

At Faculty, we transform organisational performance through safe, impactful and human-centric AI.

With a decade of experience, we provide over 300 global customers with software, bespoke AI consultancy, and Fellows from our award winning Fellowship programme.

Our expert team brings together leaders from across government, academia and global tech giants to solve the biggest challenges in applied AI.

Should you join us, you’ll have the chance to work with, and learn from, some of the brilliant minds who are bringing Frontier AI to the frontlines of the world.

Our Frontier team has an opening for a talentedSenior Data Scientist.Join the bright minds in Faculty who are shaping the future of our product.

What you'll be doing:

As a Senior Data Scientist within Frontier, you will lead the data science work on project teams that are configuring our product Frontier for our customers. Each deployment of Frontier requires a computational twin, essentially an AI-powered digital twin, to be built, and it is primarily the responsibility of our data scientists to both design and then build these computational twins.

Whilst doing this well is partly about building familiarity with Frontier’s development interfaces, it’s mainly about doing things that are critical in any applied data science role; namely deeply understanding the core customer problem in order to ensure that the technical solution can drive value. In terms of more technical activities, the build of a computational twin involves a bunch of tasks common to all data science work such as EDA, model building, and model evaluation.

In terms of other activities you’ll do in the role:

  • You’ll be a leader within a cross-functional delivery team, working closely with engineers, designers, and commercial roles to deliver value to customers. Working closely with the leads of these other functions you’ll ultimately be responsible for the successful delivery.
  • You will help our excellent commercial team build strong relationships with clients, shaping the direction of both current and future projects.
  • You will play an important role in the development of other data scientists at Faculty through activity management and potentially line management of others.

Who we're looking for:

  • Senior experience in either a professional data science position or a quantitative academic field
  • Strong python programming skills as evidenced by earlier work in data science or software engineering.
  • An excellent command of the basic libraries for data science (e.g. NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-Learn) and familiarity with a deep-learning framework (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch, Caffe)
  • A high level of mathematical competence and proficiency in statistics
  • A solid grasp of essentially all of the standard data science techniques, for example, supervised/unsupervised machine learning, model cross validation, Bayesian inference, time-series analysis, simple NLP, effective SQL database querying, or using/writing simple APIs for models. We regard the ability to develop new algorithms when an innovative solution is needed as a fundamental skill
  • A leadership mindset focused on growing the technical capabilities of the team; a caring attitude towards the personal and professional development of other data scientists; enthusiasm for nurturing a collaborative and dynamic culture
  • An appreciation for the scientific method as applied to the commercial world; a talent for converting business problems into a mathematical framework; resourcefulness in overcoming difficulties through creativity and commitment; a rigorous mindset in evaluating the performance and impact of models upon deployment
  • Some commercial experience, particularly if this involved client-facing work or project management; eagerness to work alongside our clients; business awareness and an ability to gauge the commercial value of projects; outstanding written and verbal communication skills; persuasiveness when presenting to a large or important audience
  • Experience leading a team of data scientists (to deliver innovative work according to a strict timeline) as well as experience in composing a project plan, in assessing its technical feasibility, and in estimating the time to delivery
  • A product mindset, able to understand the needs of users and to learn how Frontier delivers them value

What we can offer you:

The Faculty team is diverse and distinctive, and we all come from different personal, professional and organisational backgrounds. We all have one thing in common: we are driven by a deep intellectual curiosity that powers us forward each day.

Faculty is the professional challenge of a lifetime. You’ll be surrounded by an impressive group of brilliant minds working to achieve our collective goals.

Our consultants, product developers, business development specialists, operations professionals and more all bring something unique to Faculty, and you’ll learn something new from everyone you meet.

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.
