You’ll be joining a lean, high-performing data science team of three in a Fintech that’s making serious moves in financial services.
Please double check you have the right level of experience and qualifications by reading the full overview of this opportunity below.
This role is about end-to-end ownership. From spotting opportunities to deploying models that stick, you’ll need to roll up your sleeves, partner with business leaders, and deliver solutions that make a measurable difference.
We require hands-on experience building and maintaining ML/AI predictive models. Youll need to evidence previous advanced predictive modelling or end-to-end ownership of said models. We’re specifically looking for someone experienced with the full lifecycle of data science projects and advanced modelling (ML/AI) - not just analysis, dashboards, or oversight.
This is about leading your own projects, driving outcomes, and being accountable for real commercial impact.
Location: Nottingham (4 days per week in office)
Salary: £55,000 - £65,000 (DOE)
Why This Role Matters
Your work will shape how the business operates. To give you an example, one of your future teammates has already transformed the collections function by building models that determine who to call, when to call, and when to send comms - driving a step change in efficiency and results.
Now it’s your turn. You’ll work with senior stakeholders, dig into business pain points, pitch smart solutions, and deliver predictive models that directly influence decisions across the company.
What We’re Looking For
* Proven impact - you’ve taken models into production and seen them deliver real results.
* Autonomous leadership - confident in owning projects, engaging stakeholders, and holding yourself accountable.
* Technical credibility - strong hands-on data science capability (R, Python, or similar). What matters is outcomes, not syntax.
* Commercial mindset - able to translate technical solutions into business impact, spotting opportunities others might miss.
* Energy & curiosity - proactive, problem-seeking, and solutions-focused.
The Tech (Flexible)
* Current stack: R, Databricks, SQL
* Open to Python and other modern tools - what matters is results.
What You’ll Get
* £55k–£65k salary (with some flex for the right person)
* High visibility and autonomy - your work won’t be buried in layers of hierarchy
* A direct line to senior leadership and real influence over business decisions
* The chance to work with sharp, passionate people solving real-world problems with data
This role is four days a week in the Nottingham office. No hiding behind Zoom - you’ll be embedded in the business, collaborating face-to-face, and influencing directly.
If that’s a fit for you, this could be a career-defining move!
