Senior Data Scientist – Fast Growing Market Intelligence Group

To £80,000 plus bonus/benefits; hybrid working (London)


Hugely exciting opportunity for an innovative Senior Data Scientist to further develop platform capabilities of this fast growing market intelligence provider!


Taking ownership of data science activity for the group, you’ll engage with the leadership, research/analyst and data engineering teams re modelling direction, technical decisions, and delivery timelines to build, test, and optimise solutions that feed directly into their intelligence and forecasting led products; as such you’ll be behind product innovation and have exposure to a wide range of data-sets re to establish trends and insights. Essentially the role will encompass forecasting and modelling; analysis and insight generation; data acquisition and integration. In time this will lead to thought leadership, best practice and overall data science strategy for the group. In short, you’re there to enhance their overall market intelligence offering as they continue to expand globally.


This is totally going to suit a talented Data Scientist who’s now about ready to kick back and do their best work yet – you’ve possibly worked in scale-ups or similar previously, are agile within a fast moving environment, and you’re itching for that role where this time you get the ownership and autonomy you haven’t had previously. This is that proverbial next step role that’s all about growth, development and true realisation of your data science potential (so maybe it doesn’t suit those who’ve already done it too many times before in big teams and corporates)! Technically its advantageous if you have previously worked with market intelligence or data analytics products previously in a data science capacity – probably via research/intelligence agency, consultancy or similar – and you’ll be a whiz with Python, machine learning, temporal datasets and geospatial data (amongst other usual attributes in a data scientist’s arsenal).


There’s a lot more we could tell you – not least you’re going to love the company culture; they’re in an exciting, ‘all hands on deck’ growth phase but retain a very warm, human touch – but we’ll do that when we chat. Once you’ve read this and think most of what’s been said applies to you (it’s vital it does because they need someone who has an affinity with much of the aforementioned to step in and ‘do the do’), then get in touch!

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. 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.

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.
