Senior Data Scientist (Contract) – Applied ML | AI | Optimisation

Remote | UK/EU Time Zones | B2B/Outside IR35

*One-stage Interviews are taking place next week


We’re hiring a Senior Data Scientist for a long-term contract with a scaling digital platform that’s investing heavily in its data and AI capability.


This is a hands-on, applied ML role where you’ll work on production-grade models that directly influence pricing, forecasting, and commercial performance. It’s a small, high-impact

environment that values ownership, autonomy, and real-world delivery.


You’ll Be Working On:


  • Maintaining and improving a suite of production ML models currently in use across multiple products
  • Developing new models focused on pricing optimisation, lead forecasting, and customer behaviour
  • Contributing to new AI-driven initiatives, including text and sentiment analysis
  • Collaborating closely with Data Engineering and BI to deliver robust, end-to-end ML pipelines and model monitoring


Tech Environment:


  • Python (pandas, scikit-learn, modern ML frameworks)
  • SQL for analysis and model input preparation
  • Cloud environment (AWS / GCP / Azure)
  • Exposure to NLP, MLOps, or CI/CD pipelines is a plus


What We’re Looking For:


  • Experienced Senior Data Scientist with a proven applied ML background
  • Confident in owning end-to-end model development and optimisation
  • Naturally collaborative, but comfortable working independently when needed
  • Curious, pragmatic, and focused on delivering measurable value rather than research for its own sake


Key Points


  • 6-month contract (extensions likely)
  • Remote – UK or EU time zones
  • Start date: ASAP
  • Streamlined interview process


This is a fantastic opportunity for a hands-on data scientist who wants to build meaningful models, solve real-world problems, and shape the next phase of AI-driven innovation within a fast-moving digital business.


If this sounds like your kind of project, please apply!

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.
