Role Overview

We're looking for a Senior Data Scientist who can combine the rigour of statistical modelling with the creativity of real-world storytelling. You'll design and deliver AI/ML models that are not just accurate — but deployable, explainable, and aligned to clients' commercial goals.

You’ll play a key role in shaping how AI is productised and scaled, from building bespoke datasets to operationalising end-to-end pipelines with ML Ops. Your work will span forecasting, customer segmentation, churn prediction, and commercial optimisation.

This is not a research role — it's a hands-on, high-impact position for someone ready to own data science delivery across a variety of projects and products.

Key Responsibilities

• Forecasting (e.g. demand, revenue) using tools such as Prophet
• Propensity modelling for churn, conversion, and cross-sell
• Customer segmentation using k-means or advanced clustering techniques
• Own end-to-end data workflows: feature creation, data wrangling, model tuning, validation, deployment, and monitoring
• Architect your own datasets where needed — merging structured and semi-structured data to power robust insights
• Operationalise models using ML Ops, ensuring continuous delivery and integration with cloud-based systems
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and client teams to align technical outputs with business outcomes
• Interpret and visualise results artistically and insightfully — transforming statistical outputs into compelling decision tools
• Continuously experiment with new methods, technologies, and approaches to improve performance and interpretability
• Lead by example on code quality, experimentation, and reproducibility
• Coach and mentor junior data scientists

3-5 years of experience in a Data Science, AI, or ML-related role

Why Join?

• Work on real-world AI challenges that impact millions of customer decisions
• Join a cloud-native, AI-first company where models are deployed, scaled, and used — not just prototyped
• Collaborate with senior AI engineers, product managers, and domain experts
• Shape product and platform direction through your modelling and insight
• Competitive salary, professional development budget, and mentorship from industry veterans

This is an opportunity to push the boundaries of applied data science in a company that doesn't just talk about AI — they build it, run it, and scale it.
