RAC has an exciting opportunity for a highly numerate and inquisitive Graduate Data Scientist to join our Technical Pricing Team. This is a role at the heart of our insurance pricing ecosystem, where data science, statistical modelling and commercial insight come together to shape how we understand risk and deliver best-in-class pricing.


You’ll work with RAC’s unique proprietary data, explore new data sources, and help develop advanced analytical features that support our technical pricing strategy. If you enjoy solving complex problems, experimenting with data, and building models that influence real world decisions, this is your chance to make a meaningful impact in a fast-moving, competitive market.


You don’t need to be a data scientist yet, we’ll teach you. What matters is your mindset: analytical, curious, collaborative and eager to learn.


Location: Bristol (Hybrid - 2 days per week in office) Contract: Permanent, Full Time


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Develop new data science features and models that support RAC’s technical pricing strategy
  • Explore, assess and recommend data enrichment opportunities
  • Build insurer data assets using RAC’s unique proprietary datasets
  • Apply statistical and machine learning techniques to improve pricing capability
  • Work with Pricing, Commercial, Product and Finance teams to deliver shared objectives
  • Use tools such as SQL, Python, Databricks, Snowflake and Power BI to manipulate, analyse and visualise data
  • Support governance and ensure analytical work aligns with FCA and internal standards
  • Review available data and help prioritise future data consumption across the business

You’ll be part of a team that values continuous improvement, technical excellence and innovation and you’ll learn from experienced data scientists and pricing specialists who will help you grow quickly.


What You’ll Bring

  • A numerical degree (2:1 or above)
  • A-level Maths at grade A or above
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Curiosity about how data science, modelling and risk pricing shape insurance products
  • Familiarity with SQL/SAS, Python or Databricks (or a willingness to learn fast)
  • Interest in data manipulation and visualisation tools such as Snowflake or Power BI
  • Ability to work with complex datasets and draw meaningful conclusions
  • Clear communication skills and the confidence to work with stakeholders
  • High personal standards and a drive to deliver commercially valuable analysis

What Makes You a Great Fit

You’ll thrive in this role if you:



  • Enjoy experimenting with data to uncover patterns, insights and opportunities
  • Are excited by the idea of applying statistical and machine learning techniques to real business problems
  • Want to learn how data science drives pricing decisions in a competitive, regulated market
  • Are collaborative, people-focused and able to build trust quickly
  • Stay calm and structured when working with large, complex datasets
  • Are ambitious, proactive and always looking to raise the bar
  • Live our RAC values: Handle it Together, Exceptional Service, Raise the Bar, Own It

Benefits

  • Earnings That Motivate - enjoy a competitive salary plus conditional annual bonus.
  • Tools to Drive Your Future - get started with free RAC breakdown cover from day one. Access to a car salary sacrifice scheme (including electric vehicle options) after 12 months, delivering serious tax savings.
  • Time Off That Matters - enjoy 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays. We also support work life balance with paid family leave, flexible schedules, and practical resources to help navigate personal commitments.
  • Financial Security & Perks - pension scheme with up to 6.5% matched contributions alongside life assurance cover up to 4x salary (10x optional with flex benefits), designed to support you long term.
  • Wellbeing That Works for You - our 24/7 confidential support service is available to you and household members aged 16+, offering reassurance whenever you need it.
  • Extras That Make a Difference - access Orange Savings, our exclusive discount portal with deals across top retailers, holidays, tools, tech and more. After passing probation, you’ll automatically join our Colleague Share Scheme, giving you a stake in our collective success.

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.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

AI Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the generative AI, machine learning and applied AI hiring trends shaping UK artificial intelligence careers. Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
