Data Scientist

If you're looking for a Data Science role where your work influences real product decisions at scale, not just dashboards, then this will interest you. This team sits right at the intersection of product, engineering, and high-touch support, shaping how features are measured, launched, and improved.

What you'll be doing

You'll be digging into large, complex datasets to uncover patterns, build statistical and ML models, and translate your findings into product-level insights. Expect a mix of analysis, experimentation, metric design, and stakeholder partnership.

A typical week might include:
  • Defining success metrics for new product features
  • Analysing the impact of launches with engineering
  • Working with product managers to shape roadmap decisions
  • Bringing clarity to ambiguous problem spaces where data isn't neatly packaged
  • Communicating insights to non-technical audiences without the jargon
What's in it for you
  • Annual Salary up to £90,000 PAYE (Inside IR35, PAYE, paid weekly)
  • Hybrid: 3 days onsite in Central London
  • 12-month contract with potential to extension
  • Work that drives product strategy, AI measurement, and feature-level decision-making
What you need to bring
  • 5+ years as a Data Scientist - if your experience is primarily reporting or dashboarding, this won't be the right fit
  • Strong hands‑on experience with Python, R, and SQL
  • Solid grounding in statistical modelling and machine learning
  • Experience partnering directly with product teams
  • Ability to turn complex technical concepts into clear narratives
  • Comfortable operating in a fast‑moving environment with ambiguity
Nice to have
  • Experience in support or integrity teams
  • Data engineering exposure
  • Strong influencing and stakeholder skills
Interested?

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.

In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
