Overview

Freelance Lead Data Scientist – Start within 1–2 weeks. Contract: 1 month (strong potential to extend). Day rate: £600/day. Location: Remote (UK-based preferred; onsite for initial days).


Role summary

We’re supporting a major client on a short, high-impact project that blends computer vision, NLP, and marketing analytics. The goal is to refine and optimise an existing model that predicts the conversion rate of marketing images based on their visual and contextual attributes.


Responsibilities

  • Enhance or rebuild an existing multimodal image-to-text model built using CLIP and Phi (OpenAI).
  • Apply SHAP (or similar explainability methods) to attribute what’s driving conversion — e.g., the presence of people, objects, or scene context.
  • Extend an interactive Python Dash web app that visualises image predictions and their drivers.
  • Work closely with the analytics and marketing teams to make the tool usable, explainable, and business-ready.
  • Handle both model optimisation and dash app refinement, focusing on interpretability and usability.

Tech environment

Python | CLIP | Phi | SHAP | Computer Vision | NLP | Dash | Pandas | NumPy


Ideal profile

  • Proven experience in data science / ML, with practical exposure to computer vision and explainable AI.
  • Strong coding in Python, with experience building models end-to-end and deploying lightweight web apps (Dash/Streamlit).
  • Understanding of model explainability (SHAP, LIME, feature attribution).
  • Hands-on with multimodal data (images + text) preferred.
  • Comfortable in a fast-moving, creative environment; self-starter with a growth mindset.

Contract details

Contract length: 4–5 weeks initially, strong chance of extension into wider data/AI projects.


Seniorities & employment type

  • Seniority level: Not Applicable
  • Employment type: Contract
  • Job function: Marketing
  • Industries: Technology, Information and Media and Telecommunications

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.

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.
