Mid-Level Data Scientist


Knowsley - Hybrid

The Company
They are a well-established UK retail business undergoing a significant data transformation. With major customer-led initiatives underway, including a new loyalty programme, the organisation is increasing its focus on advanced analytics, machine learning and personalisation. The culture is collaborative, pragmatic and delivery-focused, with an emphasis on getting models into production rather than staying in experimentation mode.

The Role
You will join a small but growing Data Science team, working closely with the Data Science Lead and one other Data Scientists. This is a hands-on role focused on building strong foundations and scaling existing use cases across the business. Key responsibilities include:

  • Designing and developing customer-focused data science solutions across segmentation, lifetime value, forecasting and targeting
  • Taking models end to end from problem definition through to deployment and monitoring
  • Working with stakeholders to translate business questions into robust modelling approaches
  • Partnering with engineers and analysts to productionise models and embed them into customer journeys
  • Contributing to the development of a new Data Science platform and best practices as the team matures

Your Skills & Experience
To be successful in this role, you will bring:

  • Strong commercial experience in Data Science or Machine Learning within a real-world environment
  • Advanced Python skills for modelling and analysis, with solid SQL capability
  • Experience delivering end-to-end data science solutions, including deployment
  • Exposure to forecasting, statistical modelling or applied machine learning use cases
  • Comfort working in a team that is still evolving its Data Science maturity
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to build credibility with non-technical stakeholders
    Cloud exposure in GCP or Azure, and experience using managed ML services, would be advantageous but not essential.

What They Offer

  • The chance to shape a growing Data Science function and influence technical direction
  • High-impact, customer-facing projects with clear routes into production
  • Strong long-term progression as the data and AI capability continues to scale

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise AI jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach AI engineers, ML scientists and applied research talent in the UK. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.
