Job Specifications

If you're looking for a Data Science role where your work influences real product decisions at scale, not just dashboards, then this will interest you. This team sits right at the intersection of product, engineering, and high-touch support, shaping how features are measured, launched, and improved.

What's in it for you

Annual Salary up to £90,000 PAYE (Inside IR35, PAYE, paid weekly)
Hybrid: 3 days onsite in Central London
12-month contract with potential to extension
Work that drives product strategy, AI measurement, and feature-level decision-making

What you'll be doing

You'll be digging into large, complex datasets to uncover patterns, build statistical and ML models, and translate your findings into product-level insights. Expect a mix of analysis, experimentation, metric design, and stakeholder partnership.

A typical week might include:

Defining success metrics for new product features
Analysing the impact of launches with engineering
Working with product managers to shape roadmap decisions
Bringing clarity to ambiguous problem spaces where data isn't neatly packaged
Communicating insights to non-technical audiences without the jargon

What you need to bring

5+ years as a Data Scientist - if your experience is primarily reporting or dashboarding, this won't be the right fit
Strong hands-on experience with Python, R, and SQL
Solid grounding in statistical modelling and machine learning
Experience partnering directly with product teams
Ability to turn complex technical concepts into clear narratives
Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment with ambiguity

Nice to have

Experience in support or integrity teams
Data engineering exposure
Strong influencing and stakeholder skills

Interested?
