Senior Pricing Optimisation Data Scientist

Location: UK-based

Salary: £60,000 – £70,000

The Opportunity

Join a global leader in pricing and revenue intelligence, recently expanded through the acquisition of a high-growth startup. As part of a specialised team of highly academic Data Scientists, you’ll contribute to cutting-edge pricing algorithms that help reshape decision-making in travel and hospitality industries.

This is a deeply analytical role that values theoretical understanding and scientific thinking over production engineering. If you enjoy complex, research-driven problems with real-world impact – this is for you.

What You'll Do

• Conduct deep research into pricing optimisation strategies for hotel revenue
• Develop models in Python using Pandas, statistical tooling, and custom algorithms
• Translate real-world pricing problems into mathematical and statistical frameworks
• Work independently and contribute to a culture of intellectual rigor and curiosity

Ideal Profile

• PhD in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, or a related quantitative field (Master’s with significant pricing optimisation experience considered)
• Strong foundation in statistical modelling, optimisation, and machine learning fundamentals
• Fluent in Python and data science tools (e.g., Pandas, NumPy)
• Prior experience in revenue management or pricing is a plus, but not required
