Senior Data Modeller / Principal Data Modeller

London - Hybrid (3 Days in Office)

Salary: Up to £90,000

This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-growth consultancy environment where you will shape data modelling standards, influence enterprise-level design, and work directly with senior stakeholders across complex financial services programmes. If you enjoy combining hands-on modelling with broader architectural thinking, this role offers significant impact and clear progression.

The Company

They are a well-established consulting firm with a strong footprint across financial services and energy. Their data capability exceeds 300 specialists, and their Data Architecture function is known for delivering high-quality modelling, strategy and metadata solutions across large-scale transformation programmes. They operate in a collaborative, low-ego environment where expertise is valued and career progression is structured and transparent.

The Role

As a Senior or Principal Data Modeller, you will:

  • Lead and deliver hands-on data modelling across complex programmes.
  • Design relational and dimensional models for transactional, analytical and enterprise environments.
  • Define modelling frameworks, standards, and guardrails for large transformations such as migrations.
  • Shape and document metadata, lineage, catalogues and source-to-target mapping.
  • Contribute to ETL design and data movement patterns across platforms.
  • Work with JSON, XML, Parquet and other semi-structured formats used across financial systems.
  • Engage senior stakeholders and guide best practice within multidisciplinary teams.
  • Principal level: provide thought leadership, support revenue activity and lead client-facing presentations.

Your Skills and Experience

You will be a strong fit if you can demonstrate:

  • Deep commercial experience in hands-on data modelling (relational and dimensional).
  • Ability to design logical and physical data models and explain modelling decisions to stakeholders.
  • Experience working in consulting, financial services, or energy environments.
  • Capability in ERWin or similar modelling tools such as Sparx, RSA, Visio or related platforms.
  • Understanding of ETL flows, metadata management and how data is structured for AI, ML, BI and analytics use cases.
  • Comfort operating in client-facing settings and contributing to delivery outcomes.
  • Principal level: additional experience in leadership, client development or shaping solution direction.

What They Offer

  • Exposure to major financial services organisations and high-impact data programmes.
  • Supportive culture with ongoing learning and a strong data community.

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

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. 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 Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three 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.
