DATA SCIENTIST – HYBRID (London, 3 days a week)

£50,000–£75,000 based on experience


THE COMPANY

An opportunity to join a high-performing data team at a global marketing and customer experience company. You’ll work across a variety of data science challenges — from prototyping ideas to deploying full-scale ML solutions — in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

This role is ideal for someone with strong technical foundations and a generalist mindset, looking to grow quickly and make a tangible impact across major client projects.


THE ROLE

As a Data Scientist, you will:

  • Build and deploy machine learning solutions end-to-end, from SQL-based feature engineering to model development in Python and cloud deployment (AWS)
  • Prototype and test new ideas that solve real business problems or spark client innovation
  • Take ownership of workstreams within larger projects, with opportunities to lead as you grow
  • Work across the stack — from APIs and infrastructure to model tuning and validation
  • Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Bring curiosity, pace, and clarity to everything you do


YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

Must-Have:

  • Degree in a STEM field or equivalent hands-on experience
  • 1–4 years’ experience delivering ML solutions in production, ideally in fast-moving teams or startups
  • Strong Python and SQL skills; experience building and deploying models end-to-end
  • Familiarity with AWS (or similar), Git, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Ability to work independently and manage priorities in a high-velocity environment
  • Excellent communication and documentation under pressure


Nice-to-Have:

  • Experience with marketing data or customer-level models (e.g. uplift, attribution, causal inference, campaign optimization)
  • Familiarity with MLOps tools (e.g. MLflow, FastAPI, Airflow)
  • Exposure to A/B testing and experimentation frameworks


WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

This isn’t a narrow data science role — you won’t just tune models or clean data. You’ll do it all, with support where needed and freedom to explore. It’s the perfect step for someone who wants to move fast, own their growth, and help shape impactful AI solutions in a cross-disciplinary setting.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.
