Job Description

Lithe Transformation are looking to hire a Senior Data Scientist to support our growing AI and LLM practice in the north of England. Based within daily striking distance of our client's Sheffield offices, this hybrid role requires an onsite presence the majority of the time.

This is not a strategy-heavy or stakeholder management position. It is a hands-on, engineering-led data science role focused on deep modelling, heavy data processing, scenario modelling and building executive-level dashboards that drive real business decisions.

The Role

You will work as part of a mature and established data insights team, contributing directly to high-impact analytical initiatives. The core focus includes:

  • Advanced data modelling and statistical analysis

  • Heavy data crunching and scenario modelling

  • Building robust executive dashboards and decision frameworks

  • Working hands-on with transformer architectures and LLM layers

  • Engineering-grade data science delivery within a financial services setting

This is “hardcore” data science engineering — suited to someone who enjoys building, modelling and solving complex quantitative problems rather than operating primarily in stakeholder or governance layers.

Experience Required

  • 5+ years of hands-on data science experience (5–10+ ideal)

  • Strong background in data modelling and large-scale data processing

  • Practical experience working with LLMs, transformer models or adjacent architectures

  • Proven ability to deliver scenario-based modelling outputs

  • Experience building dashboards and executive-ready analytical outputs

  • Financial services experience is advantageous but not mandatory

Soft skills are important but this is not a heavily stakeholder-facing role. The team environment is already established and collaborative.

We are offering a basic salary of £76k.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO OFFER VISA SPONSORSHIP OF ANY KIND FOR THIS ROLE, EITHER NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. ALL APPLICANTS MUST HAVE CURRENT AUTHORISATION TO WORK PERMANENTLY IN THE UK, UNRESTRICTED.

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.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.
