Senior Data Scientist

Data Science & AI Product Owner | Private Equity |

Salary: circa 140k-170k + Bonus + Excellent Package

Opportunity:

Looking to break away from corporate red tape and actually ship real AI-powered tools that investment professionals use every day? We're hiring a Data & AI Product Owner to drive meaningful change at one of Europes most successful private markets investors. This role will be joining a leading charge in global brands. Were looking for a couple of hires to focus on either Credit or Infrastructure investing.

This is not your standard product role. You'll be embedded directly into a high-performing investment team (e.g. Private Equity, Credit, Secondaries, Infrastructure), identifying real-world problems and shaping practical, data- and AI-driven solutions, fast.

Youll have the autonomy to experiment with tools like Notion, Retool, Streamlit, n8n , and build lightweight MVPs yourself using Python, JavaScript, or low/no-code stacks . For complex builds, youll partner with engineers and data scientists, but the ideas, testing, prioritisation, and rollout? Thats you.

Who will this suit?

A senior-level IC. Not a hands-off product manager. Organisation are rewarding for technical ability coupled with business value, not leadership skills. Someone that has clearly demonstrated embedding actual, value driven AI solutions. Someone that understands FS, Fintech or Investment, Private Equity etc.

What youll be doing

  • Work hand-in-hand with investment officers to uncover friction points and AI opportunities
  • Prototype, source, or help build tools that improve deal execution, research, and decision-making
  • Manage your own product backlog, driven by business value, not vanity metrics
  • Drive adoption with sharp onboarding, training, and support
  • Influence cross-strategy builds and enterprise tools by representing your domains needs

What were looking for

  • Experience in product, innovation, or strategy roles - ideally at MBB, venture, or early-stage AI/product teams
  • Technical degree (CompSci, Engineering, Math, etc.) and confidence using AI tooling and APIs
  • Experience building or implementing tools using Notion, Vercel, Retool, Airtable, Streamlit , etc.
  • Strong grasp of the investment process (e.g., PE, Credit, Infra, or Secondaries)
  • Bias for action, a love of hacking together working prototypes, and a nose for commercial impact

Why this is different

  • Direct line of sight to business impact , youll see the results of your work in real time
  • Freedom to build , prototype and test ideas before involving engineering
  • Incredible access , youll work directly with some of the sharpest minds in private markets
  • Real AI, applied today , not future dreams; agents, copilots, and Q&A tools are already in play

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
