Senior Data Scientist – Fast Growing Market Intelligence Group

To £80,000 plus bonus/benefits; hybrid working (London)


Hugely exciting opportunity for an innovative Senior Data Scientist to further develop platform capabilities of this fast growing market intelligence provider!


Taking ownership of data science activity for the group, you’ll engage with the leadership, research/analyst and data engineering teams re modelling direction, technical decisions, and delivery timelines to build, test, and optimise solutions that feed directly into their intelligence and forecasting led products; as such you’ll be behind product innovation and have exposure to a wide range of data-sets re to establish trends and insights. Essentially the role will encompass forecasting and modelling; analysis and insight generation; data acquisition and integration. In time this will lead to thought leadership, best practice and overall data science strategy for the group. In short, you’re there to enhance their overall market intelligence offering as they continue to expand globally.


This is totally going to suit a talented Data Scientist who’s now about ready to kick back and do their best work yet – you’ve possibly worked in scale-ups or similar previously, are agile within a fast moving environment, and you’re itching for that role where this time you get the ownership and autonomy you haven’t had previously. This is that proverbial next step role that’s all about growth, development and true realisation of your data science potential (so maybe it doesn’t suit those who’ve already done it too many times before in big teams and corporates)! Technically its advantageous if you have previously worked with market intelligence or data analytics products previously in a data science capacity – probably via research/intelligence agency, consultancy or similar – and you’ll be a whiz with Python, machine learning, temporal datasets and geospatial data (amongst other usual attributes in a data scientist’s arsenal).


There’s a lot more we could tell you – not least you’re going to love the company culture; they’re in an exciting, ‘all hands on deck’ growth phase but retain a very warm, human touch – but we’ll do that when we chat. Once you’ve read this and think most of what’s been said applies to you (it’s vital it does because they need someone who has an affinity with much of the aforementioned to step in and ‘do the do’), then get in touch!

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
