Overview

Kantar is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Data Scientist to join our global team. This role is central to enhancing the quality and consistency of our 50+ survey panels across 40+ countries. These panels are composed of opted-in, fully consented consumers who provide valuable insights through online surveys. Your mission: to ensure the integrity of our data by detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, and to continuously improve the quality of our panellist pool.

In recent years, the market research industry has faced increasing threats from online fraud. Fraudsters attempt to exploit survey systems for financial gain, and their tactics are constantly evolving. At Kantar, we stay ahead of these threats by investing in advanced data science solutions and fraud detection technologies.

This is a high-impact role with the opportunity to collaborate directly with Operational, Commercial, and Data Science leaders. You’ll be part of a talented team of analysts, scientists, engineers, and developers, working on mission-critical systems that support our global research operations.

What You’ll Do
  • Develop and deploy machine learning models to detect fraudulent panellists and improve panel quality.
  • Contribute to the full data science lifecycle: hypothesis generation, model development, deployment, and monitoring.
  • Analyse new data sources to identify opportunities for model enhancement and decision-making improvements.
  • Design and implement feedback loops to drive better data quality and commercial outcomes.
  • Apply supervised and unsupervised learning techniques to build scalable, production-ready solutions.
  • Collaborate with developers to ensure robust, high-availability of model predictions in a microservices architecture.
  • Create and maintain data pipelines and monitoring tools.
  • Communicate technical insights to non-technical stakeholders, including senior commercial leaders.
What You’ll Bring
  • 5+ years of experience in data science.
  • Experience with supervised learning, unsupervised anomaly detection, or similar quality assurance domains.
  • Strong proficiency with Python or a similar language.
  • Proven experience automating model training pipelines using cloud services.
  • Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure as code (IAC), and Git version control.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and a collaborative mindset.
  • A strong sense of ownership over data science products.
  • Experience in industries with large consumer marketplaces is a plus.
  • Knowledge or experience with Kafka is a plus.
Our Tech Stack
  • AWS (Sagemaker, S3, Lambda), PostgreSQL, Grafana, Kafka, Redshift.
  • Note: The company is transitioning towards Azure for new development.
Why Join Us?

At Kantar, you’ll be part of a global leader in data, insights, and consulting. You’ll work on meaningful challenges, contribute to cutting-edge solutions, and help shape the future of market research. We offer a collaborative environment, opportunities for growth, and the chance to make a real impact.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise AI jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach AI engineers, ML scientists and applied research talent in the UK. 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.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

AI Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the generative AI, machine learning and applied AI hiring trends shaping UK artificial intelligence careers. Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
