Senior Data Scientist – Fast Growing Market Intelligence Group

To £80,000 plus bonus/benefits; hybrid working (London)


Hugely exciting opportunity for an innovative Senior Data Scientist to further develop platform capabilities of this fast growing market intelligence provider!


Taking ownership of data science activity for the group, you’ll engage with the leadership, research/analyst and data engineering teams re modelling direction, technical decisions, and delivery timelines to build, test, and optimise solutions that feed directly into their intelligence and forecasting led products; as such you’ll be behind product innovation and have exposure to a wide range of data-sets re to establish trends and insights. Essentially the role will encompass forecasting and modelling; analysis and insight generation; data acquisition and integration. In time this will lead to thought leadership, best practice and overall data science strategy for the group. In short, you’re there to enhance their overall market intelligence offering as they continue to expand globally.


This is totally going to suit a talented Data Scientist who’s now about ready to kick back and do their best work yet – you’ve possibly worked in scale-ups or similar previously, are agile within a fast moving environment, and you’re itching for that role where this time you get the ownership and autonomy you haven’t had previously. This is that proverbial next step role that’s all about growth, development and true realisation of your data science potential (so maybe it doesn’t suit those who’ve already done it too many times before in big teams and corporates)! Technically its advantageous if you have previously worked with market intelligence or data analytics products previously in a data science capacity – probably via research/intelligence agency, consultancy or similar – and you’ll be a whiz with Python, machine learning, temporal datasets and geospatial data (amongst other usual attributes in a data scientist’s arsenal).


There’s a lot more we could tell you – not least you’re going to love the company culture; they’re in an exciting, ‘all hands on deck’ growth phase but retain a very warm, human touch – but we’ll do that when we chat. Once you’ve read this and think most of what’s been said applies to you (it’s vital it does because they need someone who has an affinity with much of the aforementioned to step in and ‘do the do’), then get in touch!

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.

Data Science Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data science in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re far from alone. Across the UK, businesses are investing in data science talent to turn data into insight, support better decisions and unlock competitive advantage. But with all the hype about machine learning, Python, AI and data unicorns, it can be hard to separate real opportunities from noise. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on data science careers for mid-life career switchers — what roles really exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining typically takes, what UK recruiters actually look for and how to craft a compelling career pivot story. Whether you come from finance, marketing, operations, research, project management or another field entirely, there are meaningful pathways into data science — and age itself is not the barrier many people fear.

How to Write a Data Science Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data science plays a critical role in how organisations across the UK make decisions, build products and gain competitive advantage. From forecasting and personalisation to risk modelling and experimentation, data scientists help translate data into insight and action. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data science candidates. Job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the mix of analytical skill, business understanding and communication ability the role actually requires. At the same time, experienced data scientists skip over adverts that feel vague, inflated or misaligned with real data science work. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data scientists are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and immature data practices. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data science job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a strong data employer.
