We have an excellent opportunity for a Marketing Data Scientist / Econometrician to join a leading FMCG Brand, Initial 12 month contract + opportunity to extend long-term.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-performing Data Science team focused on advancing marketing effectiveness through advanced econometric modelling—including Bayesian Marketing Mix Modelling (MMM), Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA), and data-driven optimization strategies.

Key Responsibilities
Lead and manage data workflows: data extraction, transformation, validation, and exploratory analysis to ensure modelling-readiness.
Build and refine Bayesian MMM models that capture the drivers of key marketing and commercial KPIs.
Use Python (and optionally R) to design, build, and improve base and advanced models—integrating prior knowledge, probabilistic reasoning, and real-world constraints.
Develop and present ROI workbooks, response curves, and optimization frameworks for marketing budget allocation.
Run scenario-based simulations to support strategic planning and forward-looking marketing investment decisions.
Validate and stress-test models, identifying opportunities for improvement and ensuring robustness, interpretability, and business relevance.

Requirements
Extensive experience in building and deploying Marketing Mix Models, with a strong focus on Bayesian methods.
Expert-level proficiency in Python, especially with pandas, NumPy, and probabilistic programming libraries such as PyMC.
Experience with R is a bonus, particularly for MMM-related workflows.
Deep understanding of regression modelling, Bayesian inference, hierarchical models, and MCMC techniques.
Proven ability to handle and analyse large, complex datasets using SQL and/or Spark.
Solid knowledge of applied statistics, modelling techniques, and the mathematical underpinnings of inference and simulation.
Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure preferred) and modern data science toolkits.
Advanced degree (MSc or PhD) in Statistics, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.

Preferred Attributes
Strong foundation in optimization, simulation modelling, and decision analytics.
Demonstrated ability to translate complex Bayesian models into strategic insights and practical business outcomes.
Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across marketing, analytics, and commercial teams.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already transformed the global job market. From data scientists and machine learning engineers to AI ethicists and prompt engineers, many roles that seemed futuristic only a decade ago are now mainstream. Yet this is only the beginning. AI is progressing faster than any other technology in history, and the UK is at the forefront of its adoption, with government strategies, academic research, and private investment all accelerating growth. As generative AI, autonomous systems, robotics, and cognitive computing expand, completely new careers will emerge—jobs that don’t yet exist, but which will soon become central to how organisations, societies, and economies function. This article explores what those roles might look like, why they will matter, and how today’s professionals can prepare for careers that are still being invented.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for AI Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The artificial intelligence sector has transformed from a niche technology field into one of the UK's most dynamic employment markets. With AI roles ranging from machine learning engineers to data scientists and AI product managers commanding average salaries between £45,000 and £120,000, timing your job search strategically can significantly impact your success rate. Understanding when companies typically hire for AI positions—and why these patterns exist—can give you a competitive edge in landing your dream role. Unlike traditional industries with predictable seasonal fluctuations, the AI job market follows distinct patterns driven by corporate budgets, educational cycles, and technological project timelines. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal months to apply for AI jobs in the UK, helping you align your career moves with industry hiring peaks.
