Senior Data Scientist

Salary:£85,000

UK-Based (Remote)

I’m working with a global, growing data science capability which works across multiple markets.

The team is distributed, and they are building on regional depth in Europe, with recent expansion into France and potential future moves into Germany.

Role:

I’m looking for a seasoned data scientist (8+ years) with strong domain expertise in financial services, ideally someone who has worked across both B2B client-facing engagements. You’ll be working as part of a globally distributed team, collaborating with specialists across time zones. The right candidate would bring technical depth, business context, and the ability to communicate insights with both clients and internal teams.

Tech:

While they use a range of technologies internally, familiarity with open-source tools is highly valued.

Languages & Libraries:Python, R, Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, statsmodels

NLP & ML Frameworks: spaCy, Hugging Face Transformers, TensorFlow or PyTorch (where applicable)

Data Engineering & Pipelines:dbt, Airflow, SQL, Spark, Dask

Visualisation:Plotly, Seaborn, Matplotlib, Dash, Streamlit

Dev & Collaboration Tools:Jupyter, Git, Docker, VS Code, CI/CD tools

Ideal but Not Required:

Fluency in French or German is a strong bonus as it will be advantageous for future client engagements.

They are based in the UK with settled status, and comfortable working across time zones with colleagues in the US and South Asia.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
