Senior Data Scientist - £75,000 to £85,000 + 3 days a week onsite

Method Resourcing is supporting a high‑growth data function in central London that is building out its Data Science capability and looking for an experienced Senior Data Scientist ready to progress into a leadership role.


You’ll join a flat‑structured team of five (scaling to seven), with full end‑to‑end ownership of modelling, deployment and stakeholder delivery. This team truly owns its products: hypothesis, modelling, deployment, monitoring. If you want breadth, autonomy, and strategic impact, this is one of the strongest environments in London.


They’re looking for someone who can already operate at a senior level: confident presenting to senior leadership, able to mentor others, and capable of stepping into a Lead role within 1‑2 years.


The Role

Your role will blend the following areas:



  • Data & AI evangelist – educating stakeholders on possibilities and translating technical outcomes to business value.
  • Data specialist – shaping data‑science strategy, building production‑ready ML models, and embedding best practice.
  • Fixer / problem‑solver – helping teams refine requirements, diagnose issues and drive real commercial outcomes.

Day‑to‑Day Responsibilities

  • Translate complex business problems into research questions with quantifiable objectives.
  • Identify, acquire, and work with structured and unstructured datasets.
  • Build, validate, deploy, and monitor production ML models.
  • Partner with data engineers, ML engineers, architects and business teams to shape ML initiatives.
  • Present insights clearly through strong data visualisation and storytelling.
  • Uphold software engineering and MLOps best practices (testing, versioning, quality, automation).
  • Contribute to governance, responsible model usage and data quality standards.
  • Mentor juniors and support code reviews.

Required Experience

  • Strong Python experience and deep familiarity with mainstream ML libraries.
  • Proven experience deploying and owning ML models in production.
  • Experience working in cross‑functional data teams.
  • Strong stakeholder communication skills and the ability to explain commercial impact.
  • Understanding of ML‑Ops vs DevOps and broader software‑engineering standards.
  • Cloud experience (any platform).
  • Previous mentoring experience.

Nice to Have

  • Snowflake or Databricks.
  • Spark, PySpark, Hadoop or similar big‑data tooling.
  • BI exposure (PowerBI, Tableau, etc.).

Interview Process

  2. Video call – high‑level overview and initial discussion.
  3. In‑person technical presentation – based on a provided example.
  4. In‑person deep dive – code, design decisions, improvements.
  5. Final HR video stage.

Why Apply?

  • A clear, supported pathway to Lead within 1‑2 years.
  • High ownership, flat structure, real autonomy.
  • Work with highly capable engineers, scientists and architects.
  • Build models end‑to‑end and see real business outcomes.
  • Collaborative, modern, technically strong environment.

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.
