Overview
I’m hiring a Data Scientist for a large, well‑known UK business investing heavily in its data, analytics, and AI capability. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone from an advanced analytics background who has started moving into modelling and wants to take the next step into a true data science role – working on real use cases like customer segmentation, forecasting, and personalisation.
About the Company
A major UK business with a strong national presence, currently building out its data and analytics function under a new leadership team. There’s a big focus on using data to drive customer strategy and commercial performance, especially with the launch of a new loyalty programme later this year – creating real demand for modelling and insight.

What you bring
- 2-4 years’ experience in analytics/data roles
- Strong SQL
- Experience using Python (preferred) or R for modelling
- Experience building models (e.g. regression, segmentation, forecasting)
- Ability to break down business problems and apply analytical thinking

Nice to have

- Any experience taking models toward deployment
- Strong academic background in a quantitative subject
Why this role
- Step up into a true data science role from analytics
