About the Role

We have had an exciting new role come in for an experienced Data Scientist to join a growing Data function within the property/real estate space.


You will play a pivotal part in shaping data-driven decision making across the organisation. You’ll work hands-on across the full end-to-end lifecycle - framing problems, developing models, and deploying solutions that create tangible commercial and operational value. A focus of the role will be accelerating the organisation’s Generative AI capability, building LLM-driven tools and RAG-based solutions that unlock natural language interaction with business data.


Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with stakeholders across the business to capture requirements and translate them into clear analytical solutions.
  • Prepare, clean and engineer structured datasets to support modelling and exploratory analysis.
  • Build, test and validate predictive, diagnostic and prescriptive models using statistical and machine learning techniques.
  • Deploy and maintain models within a modern cloud environment (Databricks / Azure) using CI/CD best practice.
  • Create clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Integrate data science outputs into wider BI products and operational workflows.
  • Develop and deploy GenAI solutions, including LLM Q&A, RAG frameworks and multi-agent systems.
  • Contribute to high coding standards, documentation, knowledge sharing and code reviews.
  • Stay ahead of emerging data science and AI advancements to identify new opportunities.


What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience delivering Data Science or Machine Learning solutions in a commercial setting.
  • Strong programming skills in Python (preferred) or R, with experience using scikit-learn, pandas, PySpark or similar.
  • Solid SQL skills and experience working with cloud environments (Azure advantageous).
  • Hands-on experience with Databricks, model deployment and production workflows.
  • Strong understanding of statistical modelling, ML methods and feature engineering.
  • Experience working with Large Language Models, RAG, vector databases or GenAI architectures.
  • Ability to partner with cross-functional teams and build strong stakeholder relationships.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify complex concepts.
  • A quantitative academic background (BSc required; MSc/PhD preferred).

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.
