Data Scientist - 60k - 80k - Leeds (Hybrid) - AI / FinTech SaaS

Python | Data Science | A/B Testing | Commercial Analytics | Azure | Gen AI | Partnerships | SaaS | FinTech |

Do you want to work with a business that partners with 400+ companies across 75+ countries, using AI to drive revenue and improve customer experience?

A business founded in 2016 that’s scaling globally, working with leaders across Travel, Ticketing, Hospitality and OTAs, and genuinely investing in people early in their careers?

A people-first, high-performance environment where being commercially minded, personable, and easy to work with matters just as much as technical ability?

An opportunity to join a fast-growing AI SaaS scale‑up as a Data Scientist acting as the analytical lead for partner performance and commercial strategy.

You’ll work together with Partnership Managers and external stakeholders, translating data into clear, actionable insights. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys collaboration and stakeholder interaction.

Joining a collaborative data team, you’ll focus on revenue, pricing, conversion and experimentation. You’ll design and run A/B tests, build commercial and pricing models, and create web apps and dashboards that enable non-technical teams to make data driven decisions. You’ll also play a key role in Gen AI initiatives, automating insights and improving partner reporting.

You’ll work end to end with data, from ingestion and pipelines in Azure, through modelling in Python, to presenting insights directly to partners and senior stakeholders.

The role offers a competitive salary, hybrid working from Leeds, clear progression, and the chance to work with smart, ambitious people in a genuinely growing AI business.

If it ticks those boxes, don’t hang about, apply now or email me on - (url removed)

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability.
