Data Science Manager

Are you passionate about using data to drive evidence-based decision making? Can you work with sizeable datasets and manipulate them in a logical way to elicit insights with clarity?

We are looking for a senior data scientist that thinks in a clear and organised manner to help us tackle challenging business problems with data and a mathematical approach. The right candidate would be able to work under time-pressure, generating accurate and complex analysis. The role holder would have an ability to explain complicated concepts to a lay-person and think creatively about problem-solving.

Overview

The Unilever People Analytics team is apioneering group of statisticians, data scientists and visualisation experts that utilise advanced statistical techniques to analyse our HR, financial and marketing data.

The role encompasses discovering and rationalising historical patterns in large data sets, developing predictive models, creating automated data solutions and researching machine learning techniques that are proprietary to Unilever. It also involves working to enhance the team’s infrastructure by introducing new tools and technologies in collaboration with our IT and Data Foundation partners.

What we are looking for

We are seeking a candidate that can work with speed and accuracy, looking to apply their problem- solving, mathematical and programming skills to business questions through a people-lens. The successful candidate would be able to demonstrate a thirst for learning and a passion for using data to generate insights. There will be frequent and varied opportunities to develop your business acumen and present complex analysis to senior business leaders. Projects are very varied and require a combination of technical skills as well as an understanding of the business context. Mentoring team members in the application of analytical techniques will be a core requirement.

An understanding of Generative AI techniques (including Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and experience of building solutions with Generative AI would be an advantage.

A mature attitude to developing relationships with multiple stakeholders, and tenacity to drive projects forward to tight deadlines and the ability to solve problems on your own will be the key to your success in this role.

At least three years working in a similar capacity would be advantageous to your application although no prior HR experience is needed. Success will be defined through application of your analytical techniques.

Technical Skills and Qualifications

A 2:1 or above from a recognised university in a quantitative subject. A demonstrable passion for machine learning / data science or statistics is crucial.

A comprehensive understanding of most of the following would be expected: Generalised Linear Models, CART, Random Forests, Clustering, Principal Components Analysis and Network Theory. Experience of Neural Networks would be a plus, but not essential.

Knowledge of Python would be essential as well as good working knowledge of SQL.

10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Tools to Learn Now

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
