Data Scientist - Behavioural Intelligence Consulting


Permanent role, 4 days in the Central London office.


Are you a Data Scientist who wants to go deeper than dashboards and prediction models — and uncover the why behind human decision-making?


Are you excited by the idea of combining analytics, experimentation, AI and behavioural science to shape how people think, decide and act?

If so, this role offers the chance to do truly meaningful, career-defining work.


About the Role

A growing consultancy at the forefront of behavioural science and human-centred design is expanding its Behavioural Intelligence capability — blending data science, behavioural analytics, experimentation and AI.


We’re looking for a curious, commercially minded Data Scientist who enjoys solving complex problems, finding behavioural patterns in data, and turning insights into simple, powerful stories.

You’ll work alongside behavioural scientists, researchers and consultants to deliver analytical projects for major clients across industries such as finance, retail, energy and utilities.

It’s the ideal next step for someone with solid technical foundations who wants to broaden into consulting, experimentation, behavioural analytics and insight-led storytelling.


What You'll Do

Analyse Behavioural & Customer Data

  • Work with varied datasets (implicit response data, transactions, qualitative transcripts).
  • Build clustering, segmentation, predictive and ML models to explain and forecast behaviour.
  • Support experimental design, hypothesis testing and behavioural measurement.


Create Impactful Insights

  • Translate analytical findings into clear, behavioural and commercially grounded recommendations.
  • Present insights to non-technical stakeholders and support consultants on client programmes.


Improve Tools & Workflows

  • Contribute to reproducible code, documentation and internal data practices.
  • Support automation, pipeline development and embedding analytics into client solutions.


Work Across Disciplines

  • Partner with behavioural scientists, designers and strategists to combine data with human insight.
  • Help develop the consultancy’s Behavioural Intelligence toolkit and AI-enabled ways of working.


What You Bring

  • Around 2–5 years of experience in data science or applied analytics.
  • Strong skills in Python and SQL (R a bonus).
  • Experience with machine learning techniques (clustering, regression, NLP, ensemble methods).
  • Good grounding in statistics (hypothesis testing, regression, experimental design basics).
  • Ability to distil complex technical results into simple, engaging narratives.
  • Curiosity about human behaviour and decision-making.
  • Experience running end-to-end analytics projects.


Nice to have:

  • Cloud experience (Azure, AWS or GCP).
  • NLP / text analytics.
  • Exposure to A/B testing.
  • Understanding of behavioural science principles.


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Work at the intersection of data science and behavioural science — a rare and exciting blend.
  • Solve meaningful, human-centred problems with real-world impact.
  • Grow in a multidisciplinary environment that mixes behavioural research, consulting and AI.
  • Join a culture that values curiosity, experimentation, rigour and continuous learning.


Benefits include: season ticket loan, cycle-to-work scheme, discounted gym membership, health screening & dental cover, EAP, free annual eye test, a well-stocked office kitchen and regular team socials.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
