Data Scientist - Bristol (Hybrid | 3 days office)

Full-time | Permanent

Are you a data scientist who thrives on turning complex data into real commercial impact? Do you enjoy building scalable, repeatable solutions rather than one-off analysis? Are you excited by the opportunity to shape a product from the ground up? If so, this could be your next move.

We're partnering with a fast-growing B2B SaaS business that blends behavioural science with cutting-edge data to help major consumer brands better understand and influence human behaviour. The product is already delivering strong results-and now the team is scaling it to the next level.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a role where data science, product, and customer insight all meet. You'll be the key link between customers, product, and engineering-identifying valuable insights, shaping features, and helping embed them directly into a scalable SaaS platform.

The Role

You'll work closely with Customer Success to uncover what clients actually need from their data, translate that into structured data science problems, and then design and prototype features that can be rolled out across the platform.

You'll also work directly with Product and Engineering to turn prototypes into production-ready features, while engaging with customers to validate ideas and refine direction.

This is a highly visible role reporting into a Co-Founder, and will play a central part in shaping both the product roadmap and customer experience.

What you'll be doing

Designing, prototyping, and testing data-driven product features

Translating business and customer needs into data science problems

Building clear, engaging data outputs that demonstrate value

Working with Product & Engineering to scale solutions across a SaaS platform

Presenting insights and prototypes to both technical and non-technical audiences

Gathering and analysing customer feedback to influence product direction

Supporting Customer Success and Marketing with customer value storytelling

Helping prioritise product development based on data and customer insight

Occasionally supporting client-facing delivery and professional services work

What we're looking for

Strong Python skills for data science (pandas, seaborn, plotly)

Experience turning data into clear, engaging business insights

Confidence working across product, engineering, and customer teams

Ability to translate business needs into structured technical requirements

Strong communication skills, including presenting to non-technical stakeholders

A proactive mindset-you don't wait to be told what to do

Excellent organisation and attention to detail

Nice to have

Experience building production-level code

Background in marketing analytics or campaign data

Product management exposure

Experience with geospatial data

A/B testing knowledge

Docker or containerisation experience

Linux / Bash familiarity

Experience delivering training or customer enablement sessions

Why this role?

This is a chance to join a small but ambitious team building something genuinely novel in behavioural science and marketing analytics. The product already has strong traction, and the next stage is about scaling impact, deepening capability, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in data-driven marketing.

If you want a role where your work directly shapes a product-and where data science sits at the heart of commercial value-this is one to explore.

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. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.
