Senior Data Scientist

£70,000-£90,000 + Stock Options

London (Hybrid)

Are you an optimisation expert ready to make a real-world impact? This is your chance to join my client, a well-funded, fast-growing start up that is reshaping how supply chains operate across logistics, retail, and hospitality.

In this role, you'll take ownership of building and deploying advanced optimisation models that drive immediate business outcomes. You'll work closely with a small, talented data science team where your expertise won't get lost in layers of hierarchy; instead, every model you design will directly influence client operations and company growth.

The company has already secured major enterprise clients and boasts strong investor backing, giving you the rare mix of start up agility with financial stability. With a modern platform already in place, you'll have the freedom to push boundaries, experiment with cutting-edge optimisation, and explore opportunities to integrate machine learning and natural language interaction into next-generation solutions.

Why this role stands out:

Work on cutting-edge optimisation problems with direct impact on global supply chains.

Join a well-funded startup with strong investor backing and a secure financial runway.

Be part of a small, talented data science team where your contributions are highly visible.

Opportunity to shape the product and roadmap, not just deliver incremental improvements.

Freedom to explore machine learning and NLP alongside optimisation.

Hybrid setup: 1-2 days a week in central London, with flexibility around the rest.

Package: £70,000-£90,000 base salary, share options, and private healthcare.

What you'll be doing:

Designing and deploying advanced optimisation models that solve complex, high-value problems.

Taking solutions from research into production-ready Python code.

Collaborating closely with the Head of Data Science and founders on product direction.

Partnering with enterprise clients to deliver measurable operational improvements.

What we're looking for:

Deep expertise in optimisation/operations research (linear, integer, or mixed-integer programming).

Strong Python engineering skills, with experience in model deployment.

Familiarity with supply chain, logistics, retail, pharma, or warehousing highly desirable.

Experience in well-regarded teams or companies with strong development practices.

Someone who can add value immediately - this is a senior, hands-on role.

If you're ready to take on a high-impact role where your work shapes both the product and the company's future, we'd love to hear from you.

If you feel this role is of interest to you and aligns with your skillset, please apply here or send an up-to date CV to (url removed). Or, alternatively, give me a call on (phone number removed) (ext. 7730)

How to Write an AI CV that Beats ATS (UK examples)

Writing an AI CV for the UK market is about clarity, credibility, and alignment. Recruiters spend seconds scanning the top third of your CV, while Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) check for relevant skills & recent impact. Your goal is to make both happy without gimmicks: plain structure, sharp evidence, and links that prove you can ship to production. This guide shows you exactly how to do that. You’ll get a clean CV anatomy, a phrase bank for measurable bullets, GitHub & portfolio tips, and three copy-ready UK examples (junior, mid, research). Paste the structure, replace the details, and tailor to each job ad.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

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.
