Mathematical Modeller – Join an Innovative Market Access Consultancy


Are you a creative and talented Mathematical Modeller looking to apply your skills to real-world challenges? If you're passionate about developing innovative models that provide clear and transparent solutions to complex problems, we want to hear from you.


Our client, a renowned market access consultancy, is looking for a skilled Mathematical Modeller to join their award-winning team. As Mathematical Modeller you will play a key role in developing sophisticated models that support crucial decisions within the life sciences industry—spanning pharma, diagnostics, medical devices, healthcare, and beyond—across a variety of disease areas.


About the Company

Founded in 2011 by a post-doctoral modeller recognized for expertise in complex modelling, the company set out with a vision to create a science-driven, innovation-led consultancy in the market access space. They believe in a data-rich, scientific approach to market access, which has proven essential in delivering stronger health economics and market access solutions.


Now, 14 years on, the company has thrived and is well-known for its excellence in mathematical, economic, and statistical modelling. They support a diverse range of clients, from start-ups and SMEs to global multinationals and health organisations, helping them understand the efficacy, efficiency, and value of treatments, diagnostics, and healthcare solutions. The company excels in all types of modelling, including economic, decision, disease and natural history models, as well as complex simulation models. They are trusted experts in creating new models that break down intricate problems with clarity and transparency.


The company attributes its success to the exceptional talent they have on their team. To help employees reach their full potential, they offer an inspiring work environment, career development opportunities, a strong focus on work-life balance, and a highly competitive remuneration package.


The Role

As a Mathematical Modeller, you will be a key figure within the company’s health economics modelling team. You will design, develop, and evaluate intuitive models that directly contribute to decision-making processes, all while collaborating with a highly talented and creative team.


Key Requirements for the Role:

Education:

  • A degree in Mathematics or a related field. A PhD is desirable but not essential.

Experience:

  • Proficiency in Excel and VBA (experience with other languages such as C++, Python, etc., is a plus)
  • Strong background in developing complex models
  • Growing experience in project management
  • A passion for translating complex data into clear, actionable insights through model design and evaluation
  • Interest in how data science and engineering can solve real-world problems
  • Ability to think critically and creatively, developing innovative solutions


Why Join the Company?

  • Be part of a forward-thinking, innovative team at the forefront of market access consultancy
  • Work with a variety of clients, from cutting-edge start-ups to global leaders in the life sciences industry

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
