Principal Data Scientist

📍 Hybrid (Birmingham / Manchester / Remote, UK) – Ideally, office visits occur once every two weeks (with possible client visits in Manchester) after onboarding, then shift to once a month.


We’re looking for a hands‑on Principal Data Scientist to lead the design and optimisation of complex, real‑time decision systems, turning data, mathematics, and code into measurable performance gains.


You’ll own the algorithmic roadmap, driving innovation in optimisation, modelling, and simulation. Expect deep work in advanced SQL, Python, and mathematical problem solving – applying logic, statistics, and weighted decisioning to real‑world business challenges.


This role blends technical depth with strategic influence: you’ll collaborate with product, engineering, and business teams to deliver scalable, data‑driven solutions that make a real impact.


What’s essential

  • Mathematical optimisation & statistical reasoning
  • Algorithm design & performance measurement
  • Python for prototyping and experimentation
  • Agile mindset and stakeholder engagement

💡 If you’re a data scientist who thrives on translating mathematical theory into elegant, production‑ready systems, we’d love to hear from you.
