Broadlab is hiring a Senior Applied Data Scientist – Measurement & Insights to lead how we interpret and communicate campaign performance across our outcome-based CTV platform.


This is a high-impact, senior role focused on turning complex measurement data into clear, commercially actionable insight. You’ll work at the intersection of data science, client strategy, and campaign optimisation; owning advanced analysis and elevating how we understand and explain performance.


You’ll also help embed best-in-class measurement thinking across the business and leverage AI-enabled analytical workflows to accelerate insight generation.


What You’ll Do


Measurement & Incrementality Leadership

  • Lead analysis and selection of key measurement solutions
  • Lead & develop advanced analyses (incrementality, lift studies, geo experiments, causal inference)
  • Apply methods such as Difference-in-Differences and propensity score matching
  • Interpret brand uplift, conversion, and ID graph data
  • Identify true drivers of performance beyond standard attribution

Insight & Storytelling

  • Translate statistical outputs into clear, executive-ready insights
  • Lead post-campaign analysis and client-facing narratives
  • Elevate the quality and relevance of campaign reporting

Build Scalable Insight Frameworks

  • Develop repeatable analysis frameworks and playbooks
  • Standardise insight delivery across campaigns
  • Partner with Product/Engineering to embed insights into tools

Raise the Bar Internally

  • Mentor and train Optimisation teams on:
  • Statistical thinking
  • Experimental design
  • Measurement interpretation
  • Improve statistical literacy across commercial teams

Advanced Modelling

  • Build models to explain:
  • Geo-level performance variation
  • Audience and creative effects
  • Frequency and saturation dynamics
  • Work with large-scale impression-level and enriched datasets

AI-Driven Workflows

  • Use tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot to accelerate analysis and insight generation
  • Explore automation and AI-assisted measurement workflows


What We’re Looking For


Core Experience

  • 5–8+ years in applied data science
  • Strong grounding in causal inference & experimentation
  • Experience with media, campaign measurement, or advertising data
  • Advanced Python & SQL
  • Experience with large-scale event/log-level datasets
  • Ability to translate complex analysis into business insight
  • Comfortable using AI tools in modern data workflows


Nice to Have

  • CTV / programmatic / performance marketing experience
  • Incrementality testing & geo experiments
  • ID graphs / enriched consumer datasets
  • Cloud environments (AWS, Snowflake)
  • Mentoring or team development experience

What Success Looks Like

  • Campaign insights are deeper, more rigorous, and more commercially impactful
  • Clients recognise our measurement capability as a key differentiator
  • Optimisation teams become more analytically confident
  • Repeatable frameworks scale across campaigns


Why Join Broadlab?


Our edge comes from connecting advanced measurement to real business outcomes. This role is central to that mission by ensuring our data isn’t just analysed, but understood, trusted, and acted upon.

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.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
