Financial Services

  • Build game-changing forecasting models.
  • Take the lead in developing complex financial risk models from the ground up.
  • Hybrid role in London - minimum three days in the office per week.


If you’re the kind of data scientist who doesn’t just tweak models but creates them from the ground up, this is your chance to make a real impact. We’re looking for a commercially minded Senior Risk Modeller with a strong data science background to join a forward-thinking team shaping critical financial forecasts. In this role, you’ll take ownership of sophisticated models that help make major business decisions - from residual value forecasting to insurance pricing and economic capital.


What you’ll be doing:

It’s a role for someone who thrives on building and enhancing models from scratch, who can bridge the gap between complex statistical techniques and clear, actionable insights for stakeholders. You’ll work closely with senior leaders, collaborate across functions, and have a direct hand in strategic projects, all while enjoying the flexibility of hybrid working and the rewards of a generous bonus scheme.


You’ll be part of a specialist Asset Risk Modelling Team, operating in a collaborative, matrix-style environment. Your work will include model development, enhancement, and delivering forecasting models while ensuring outputs are accurate, robust, and clearly communicated.


You’ll partner with SMEs to own outcomes, mentor junior analysts, and engage with external experts to stay ahead of best practice. From modelling the impact of electric vehicle transitions to refining customer pricing models, your influence will be felt across the business… sound like you? Apply now!


What experience you’ll need to apply:

  • Solid track record in forecasting and data analysis/data science, with hands-on experience building and enhancing complex models from scratch
  • Proficiency with statistical tools and programming languages such as R, Python, or SAS
  • Experience leading complex model updates - both operational enhancements and full development projects - with the ability to clearly communicate outcomes to stakeholders
  • Strong problem-solving skills, able to design creative and commercially strong modelling solutions
  • Commercially aware, with a good understanding of market trends and the financial impact of modelling decisions
  • A strong academic background (Bachelor’s or Master’s) in Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Data Science, or a related discipline.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and stakeholders, prioritising effectively to meet deadlines
  • Desirable: industry experience in sectors such as finance, automotive or similar, and exposure to advanced techniques like machine learning or predictive modelling


What you’ll get in return:

A salary of up to £90,000 plus a 20%+ bonus, alongside a comprehensive benefits package. You’ll be working in the London office, a minimum three days per week and the rest remote.


What’s next?

Apply with your updated CV, and we’ll review your application as soon as possible to arrange a conversation. For any questions, just drop Tegan an email.

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.

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.
