About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join a mission-driven team building data-driven solutions that improve outcomes in the healthcare sector. In this role, you’ll design, build, and deploy predictive models that harness real-world behavioural data to drive impactful insights.

This is a hands-on role ideal for someone who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and is excited by the challenge of applying data science at scale. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to operationalize models, support product development, and contribute to a modern MLOps pipeline.


What You’ll Do

  • Develop and deploy predictive models using behavioural and real-world data
  • Translate complex datasets into actionable insights that improve healthcare outcomes
  • Contribute to the full ML lifecycle, from data wrangling and feature engineering to model deployment and monitoring
  • Collaborate with engineering and product teams to ensure models are integrated into production systems via scalable pipelines
  • Champion best practices in MLOps, including CI/CD for ML, model versioning, testing, and monitoring
  • Design experiments (A/B testing, uplift modelling) to measure impact and optimize performance


What We’re Looking For

  • PhD background in a relevant field
  • Proven commercial in data science, with a strong foundation in predictive modelling and machine learning
  • Proven experience working with consumer behaviour data—ideally within healthcare, digital health, or related B2C environments
  • Strong programming skills in Python, with experience using libraries like scikit-learn, XGBoost, and pandas
  • Practical experience in MLOps or strong knowledge of model deployment (e.g. MLflow, Airflow, Docker, Kubernetes, model monitoring tools)
  • Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and data pipelines
  • Excellent communication skills—able to explain technical work to non-technical stakeholders and come to meetings with ideas


To apply, please submit your CV to Rosie O'Callaghan via the link. We’re excited to hear from you.
