Senior Data Scientist

We’re looking for a commercially minded Senior Data Scientist with a passion for building risk models. If you’re the kind of data scientist who doesn’t just tweak existing models but creates them from scratch, this is your chance to make a real impact!


What you’ll be doing

This role is all about risk (we can’t stress that enough!). We’re looking for someone technically strong (likely a data scientist or similar) with a proven background in modelling risk across different environments.


As part of a specialist Risk Modelling Team, you’ll operate in a collaborative, matrix‑style environment. Your work will include model development, enhancement, and forecasting, ensuring outputs are accurate, robust, and clearly communicated.


This role is also a chance to work on variations of risk; you’ll model across multiple areas and projects, outside of a highly regulated environment. They need someone adaptable, curious, and genuinely passionate about risk modelling. Your projects could include insurance risk, asset risk, financial risk, pricing risk, credit risk, climate risk and more.


You’ll thrive on building and enhancing models from the ground up, bridging the gap between complex statistical techniques and clear, actionable insights for stakeholders. You’ll work closely with senior leaders, collaborate across functions, and play a key role in strategic projects. Sound like you? Apply now!


What experience you’ll need

  • Strong background in risk modelling and using these insights to inform business decisions
  • Proven experience building risk models from scratch and enhancing existing ones
  • Excellent skills in R, Python, or SAS
  • Experience leading complex model updates (both operational enhancements and full development projects) with clear communication of outcomes
  • Ability to present to stakeholders and translate risk issues into business applications
  • Exposure to multiple risk types (insurance, pricing, climate, asset, credit, etc.)
  • Knowledge of model risk management
  • Experience working outside regulated risk environments
  • Desirable: Industry experience in finance, automotive, or similar sectors, plus exposure to advanced techniques like machine learning or predictive modelling

What you’ll get in return

Up to £90,000 plus a 20%+ bonus, alongside a comprehensive benefits package. You’ll work from the London office three days per week, with flexibility to work remotely the rest of the time.


What’s next?

Apply with your CV, and we’ll be in touch to arrange a conversation if it’s a good fit! Got questions? Drop Tegan a message.

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.
