We're working with a major UK digital business going through a huge Data & AI transformation and we're looking to speak with genuinely commercial Data Scientists who have built and deployed models that drive measurable business impact.

  • Churn prediction modelling
  • Customer segmentation
  • Next Best Action / recommendation systems
  • Time series forecasting
  • Strong Python experience
  • Databricks exposure
  • Production ML / MLOps environments

Tech stack includes:

  • Python
  • SQL
  • Databricks
  • MLflow / CI-CD / modern ML pipelines
  • Central Manchester (Hybrid)
  • Contract role
  • Day rate DOE

Ideal background would be someone who enjoys solving real commercial problems with data and can bridge the gap between technical delivery and business impact.
