Senior Data Scientist

Remote (quarterly travel to London)

Up to £75,000


We are working with a well-established media group with a diverse portfolio of household brands spanning publishing, entertainment, and digital products. The business is investing heavily in analytics and data, with the aim of transforming how customers experience their products and services.


You’ll be the first Data Scientist to join a team currently made up of analysts and Data Engineers, reporting directly into the CDO. This is a role with real scope for impact - delivering high-value projects across multiple brands, helping prove the case for data science, and laying the groundwork for a team that will grow around you.


What you’ll be doing

  • Apply data science to varied datasets across multiple brands and business areas.
  • Lead on projects such as:
  • Content personalisation – enriching and tagging large content libraries with AI to deliver smarter recommendations.
  • Customer segmentation & clustering – building behavioural insights to improve targeting and retention.
  • CRM optimisation – shaping push notifications, email, and advertising strategies with data-driven solutions.
  • Research engine development – partnering with external agencies to enhance access to customer insights.
  • Identify where data science can make the biggest difference and communicate that impact clearly to stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with Analysts, a Data Engineer, and Project Managers, while working alongside established Data Scientists in another brand within the group.


About you

  • A couple of years’ data science experience (open to ambitious candidates ready to step up).
  • Strong communicator - able to explain the “why” behind the work, not just the “how”.
  • Ideally from a background where you’ve had to be hands-on and proactive, rather than just one cog in a large machine.
  • Experience with subscriptions, publishing, or digital products is a plus, but not essential.
  • Education is less important than curiosity, drive, and the ability to deliver.


The process

  1. Introductory interview
  2. Take-home exercise (2–3 hours)
  3. Presentation
  4. Final culture fit conversations with the wider team

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
