Senior Data Scientist

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist who enjoys seeing their work used as part of ‘real-life’ solutions. Not only will your work directly contribute to our client deliverables, but you will have the opportunity to see the process through from solution design to deployment, working in close collaboration with our wider team of Data Engineers and Data Analysts.

In short, you'll form an integral part of our close-knit team and will have the opportunity to directly contribute to the continued success of the business. We're looking for someone with a cooperative, can-do attitude who can build high-quality data science solutions.

If this sounds like you, we can't wait to hear from you!

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Actively contribute to the design, development, testing, and evaluation of data science solutions
  • Train and deploy state-of-the-art machine learning and reinforcement learning models
  • Build AI systems using Large Language Models
  • Build processes for extracting, cleaning and transforming data (SQL / Python)
  • Ad-hoc data mining for insights using Python + Jupyter notebooks
  • Present insights and predictions in live dashboards using Tableau / PowerBI
  • Lead the presentation of findings to clients through written documentation, calls, and presentations
  • Actively seek out new opportunities to learn and develop
  • Be an example of data science best-practice (e.g., Git / Docker / cloud deployment)
  • Contribute to proposals for exciting new data science opportunities
  • Provide direction and mentoring to more junior data scientists

REQUIRED SKILLS:

  • Degree in a quantitative field such as mathematics, statistics or data science (PhD in physics highly desirable)
  • Experience of presenting technical concepts to stakeholders
  • Experience of proactively contributing to the design, development, testing, and deployment of data science and AI solutions
  • Experience and understanding of applied machine learning techniques in Python (e.g., xgboost, regression, decision trees)
  • Experience with physics modelling highly desirable
  • Practical knowledge and experience of developing AI solutions using advanced machine learning techniques (e.g., reinforcement learning, deep learning)
  • Experience of working collaboratively as part of a data science team, using tools like Git to adhere to established data science and AI best practices
  • Experience of using different analysis techniques to draw insight from data, using tools such as Python and SQL
  • Excellent Python skills, including relevant libraries for data analysis and machine learning (e.g., sklearn, Pandas, NumPy) and at least one deep learning framework
  • Excellent communication skills through written reports and presentations
  • Organisational skills (e.g., planning, time management)
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
  • High attention to detail
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team

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.
