Head of Data Science

Head of Data Science

Salary: Up to £170k + bonus

Location: Central London (3x a week)

I’m retained to work on a Head of Data Science role with an exciting global business.

This isn’t a role where you inherit a rigid roadmap or spend your time in status meetings. You’ll have real freedom to decide what gets built, how it’s built, and where data science can make the biggest impact across products used by millions every day.

If you enjoy building things, getting your hands dirty, and seeing your work live in production—not just in notebooks—this role was designed for you.

Your Day-to-Day Impact:

• Lead and grow a small, high-performing team of Data Scientists
• Stay hands-on—shaping models, reviewing approaches, and occasionally prototyping
• Decide what’s worth building (and what isn’t)
• Collaborate closely with Engineering and Product to ship production-ready ML
• Turn experiments into reliable, scalable systems
• Partner with senior stakeholders to embed data-driven decision-making
• Shape how ML and Generative AI are used responsibly and effectively across the business
