MARKET RESEARCH DATA SCIENTIST

UP TO £65,000

LONDON (HYBRID)


Are you a creative Data Scientist who thrives at the intersection of analytics, consultancy, and politics? This is a rare opportunity to join a nimble agency working on some of the most fascinating and impactful political and reputational challenges in the UK – from election models to government strategy and corporate reputation. This is a foundational hire, with clear runway to grow into a leadership position and shape the future of the data function.


THE ROLE:

As a Data Scientist in this high-impact team, you’ll:

  • Lead on statistical modelling across a range of quant-led market research and political insight projects.
  • Apply and evolve a robust modelling framework using R, supporting techniques from regression and segmentation through to SRP and bespoke election models.
  • Be the custodian of a bespoke R function library, evolving tools and processes that drive consistent, high-quality output across projects.
  • Work closely with client teams – from UK Government departments and political parties to hedge funds and corporates – to deliver clear, story-led insights.
  • Get hands-on with messy primary quant data (surveys, census data, polling), cleaning, shaping, and analysing to uncover powerful trends and stories.
  • Act as a methodological pioneer – pushing boundaries, thinking creatively, and finding smart ways to deliver insights beyond the standard playbook.
  • Support and train more junior analysts and consultants – with the opportunity to build and lead your own team in the near future.


YOUR SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

We're looking for:

  • Solid Data Science experience in R, especially in predictive modelling and regression/segmentation techniques.
  • Educated to Masters or PhD level
  • A flair for methodological creativity – someone who enjoys being playful and inventive in their approach to data.
  • Experience working with primary quant survey data (market research, polling, etc.) – familiarity with messy datasets is a must.
  • Strong consulting skills – you enjoy working directly with clients and translating analysis into real-world impact.
  • Background in market research, think tanks, policy research or analytics agencies.
  • An interest in politics, polling, corporate affairs or public reputation – you don’t need to be a subject matter expert, but curiosity is essential.
  • Experience mentoring or line managing more junior team members is a plus – or a clear desire to grow into that.

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

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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.

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.
