Apply below after reading through all the details and supporting information regarding this job opportunity.

THE COMPANY

Join a high-impact data science team at a global marketing and customer experience company. As a Principal Data Scientist, you’ll lead the development of end-to-end machine learning solutions that drive business transformation across household-name clients.

This role is ideal for a hands-on technical leader with the ability to shape strategy, influence stakeholders, and still get stuck into code. You’ll partner closely with engineers, strategists, and creatives in a genuinely cross-functional setting.


THE ROLE

As a Principal Data Scientist, you will:

  • Lead the design, implementation, and deployment of advanced ML solutions across the full stack — from data engineering and modelling to cloud deployment (AWS)
  • Scope and steer high-impact projects from ideation to delivery, aligning technical strategy with business objectives
  • Serve as a technical mentor to mid-level and junior data scientists
  • Represent the data science function in client conversations and cross-functional planning
  • Maintain a high bar for clean, testable code and scalable, maintainable solutions
  • Foster a culture of experimentation, velocity, and clear communication


YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

Must-Have:

  • 5+ years of experience building and deploying DS/ML products in production
  • Strong Python and SQL skills; deep understanding of ML lifecycle from prototyping to production
  • Hands-on experience with AWS (or similar), Git, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Strong track record leading technical delivery and collaborating with non-technical stakeholders
  • Ability to balance high-level strategic thinking with hands-on implementation
  • Excellent communicator, able to tailor messages for technical, creative, and client audiences


Nice-to-Have:

  • Experience with marketing data, customer-level modelling, or decision science (e.g. uplift, attribution, causal AI, optimization)
  • Familiarity with MLOps tooling (MLflow, FastAPI, Airflow, etc.)
  • Experience designing and interpreting A/B tests or other experimental frameworks
  • Background in consulting, agency, or fast-paced environments where autonomy and adaptability are key


WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

This is a senior role with real breadth — not just a leadership position in name. You’ll be hands-on where it counts, shaping projects, mentoring talent, and collaborating across disciplines to create meaningful, measurable impact. Ideal for someone ready to step into a technical leadership role while staying close to the work.

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.
