Overview

Freelance Lead Data Scientist – Start within 1–2 weeks. Contract: 1 month (strong potential to extend). Day rate: £600/day. Location: Remote (UK-based preferred; onsite for initial days).


Role summary

We’re supporting a major client on a short, high-impact project that blends computer vision, NLP, and marketing analytics. The goal is to refine and optimise an existing model that predicts the conversion rate of marketing images based on their visual and contextual attributes.


Responsibilities

  • Enhance or rebuild an existing multimodal image-to-text model built using CLIP and Phi (OpenAI).
  • Apply SHAP (or similar explainability methods) to attribute what’s driving conversion — e.g., the presence of people, objects, or scene context.
  • Extend an interactive Python Dash web app that visualises image predictions and their drivers.
  • Work closely with the analytics and marketing teams to make the tool usable, explainable, and business-ready.
  • Handle both model optimisation and dash app refinement, focusing on interpretability and usability.

Tech environment

Python | CLIP | Phi | SHAP | Computer Vision | NLP | Dash | Pandas | NumPy


Ideal profile

  • Proven experience in data science / ML, with practical exposure to computer vision and explainable AI.
  • Strong coding in Python, with experience building models end-to-end and deploying lightweight web apps (Dash/Streamlit).
  • Understanding of model explainability (SHAP, LIME, feature attribution).
  • Hands-on with multimodal data (images + text) preferred.
  • Comfortable in a fast-moving, creative environment; self-starter with a growth mindset.

Contract details

Contract length: 4–5 weeks initially, strong chance of extension into wider data/AI projects.


Seniorities & employment type

  • Seniority level: Not Applicable

How to Write an AI CV that Beats ATS (UK examples)

Writing an AI CV for the UK market is about clarity, credibility, and alignment. Recruiters spend seconds scanning the top third of your CV, while Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) check for relevant skills & recent impact. Your goal is to make both happy without gimmicks: plain structure, sharp evidence, and links that prove you can ship to production. This guide shows you exactly how to do that. You’ll get a clean CV anatomy, a phrase bank for measurable bullets, GitHub & portfolio tips, and three copy-ready UK examples (junior, mid, research). Paste the structure, replace the details, and tailor to each job ad.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews, and how to prepare—especially for LLM application, MLOps/platform, data science, AI product & safety roles.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
