Senior Data Scientist

Remote (quarterly travel to London)

Up to £75,000

We are working with a well-established media group with a diverse portfolio of household brands spanning publishing, entertainment, and digital products. The business is investing heavily in analytics and data, with the aim of transforming how customers experience their products and services.

You’ll be the first Data Scientist to join a team currently made up of analysts and Data Engineers, reporting directly into the CDO. This is a role with real scope for impact - delivering high-value projects across multiple brands, helping prove the case for data science, and laying the groundwork for a team that will grow around you.

What you’ll be doing

Apply data science to varied datasets across multiple brands and business areas.
Lead on projects such as:
Content personalisation – enriching and tagging large content libraries with AI to deliver smarter recommendations.
Customer segmentation & clustering – building behavioural insights to improve targeting and retention.
CRM optimisation – shaping push notifications, email, and advertising strategies with data-driven solutions.
Research engine development – partnering with external agencies to enhance access to customer insights.
Identify where data science can make the biggest difference and communicate that impact clearly to stakeholders.
Collaborate with Analysts, a Data Engineer, and Project Managers, while working alongside established Data Scientists in another brand within the group.

About you

A couple of years’ data science experience (open to ambitious candidates ready to step up).
Strong communicator - able to explain the “why” behind the work, not just the “how”.
Ideally from a background where you’ve had to be hands-on and proactive, rather than just one cog in a large machine.
Experience with subscriptions, publishing, or digital products is a plus, but not essential.
Education is less important than curiosity, drive, and the ability to deliver.

The process

Introductory interview
Take-home exercise (2–3 hours)
Presentation
Final culture fit conversations with the wider team

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.
