Marketing Data Scientist (Contract)
Retail Client
£450-£480 per day outside IR35
Midlands - 1-2 days per week on site

We're working with a leading UK retailer undergoing a major international growth phase, supporting both its core brand and newly acquired high-profile partners. They're looking to bring in an experienced Marketing Data Scientist to help drive forward a business-critical marketing measurement project.

You'll join a collaborative Marketing & Data Science team focused on rolling out marketing effectiveness models at scale. The business has expanded operations from 30 to 50 countries, with plans to launch in another 30, making measurement and targeting more complex and more important than ever.

Over the past two years, the Data Science function has invested heavily in infrastructure and tooling. Now, they need an expert who can help implement robust, production-ready marketing measurement solutions, with a strong focus on causal inference and marketing mix modelling.

Role & Responsibilities:

  • Develop and automate models to measure marketing campaign effectiveness (particularly email) across regions
  • Apply causal inference techniques to support hypothesis testing and inform strategic decisions
  • Build and refine marketing mix models - the framework is in place but needs deep modelling expertise to finalise and scale
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to bring models into production and ensure results are communicated effectively
  • Support the team's use of tools like Robyn (Meta's open-source MMM tool) and Meridian, taking solutions beyond prototype

Skills & Experience

  • Python, SQL, Databricks, PySpark
  • Familiarity with Robyn or Meridian
  • Dashboarding experience is beneficial
  • Proven track record of deploying marketing mix models or causal models into production
  • Strong hands-on experience with Python and SQL

Benefits

£450-£480 per day, outside IR35, 3 month contract, 1-2 days in the Midlands office, immediate start

Top 10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK: 2025 Edition

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

Welcome to the AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your definitive guide to the emerging AI tech stack that employers will be looking for in the next 12–24 months. Updated annually for accuracy and relevance, this guide breaks down the top tools, frameworks, platforms, and programming languages powering the UK’s most in-demand AI careers.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
