Senior Data Scientist (Contract) – Applied ML | AI | Optimisation
Remote | UK/EU Time Zones | B2B/Outside IR35
*One-stage Interviews are taking place next week
We’re hiring a Senior Data Scientist for a long-term contract with a scaling digital platform that’s investing heavily in its data and AI capability.
This is a hands-on, applied ML role where you’ll work on production-grade models that directly influence pricing, forecasting, and commercial performance. It’s a small, high-impact
environment that values ownership, autonomy, and real-world delivery.
You’ll Be Working On:
* Maintaining and improving a suite of production ML models currently in use across multiple products
* Developing new models focused on pricing optimisation, lead forecasting, and customer behaviour
* Contributing to new AI-driven initiatives, including text and sentiment analysis
* Collaborating closely with Data Engineering and BI to deliver robust, end-to-end ML pipelines and model monitoring
Tech Environment:
* Python (pandas, scikit-learn, modern ML frameworks)
* SQL for analysis and model input preparation
* Cloud environment (AWS / GCP / Azure)
* Exposure to NLP, MLOps, or CI/CD pipelines is a plus
What We’re Looking For:
* Experienced Senior Data Scientist with a proven applied ML background
* Confident in owning end-to-end model development and optimisation
* Naturally collaborative, but comfortable working independently when needed
* Curious, pragmatic, and focused on delivering measurable value rather than research for its own sake
Key Points
* 6-month contract (extensions likely)
* Remote – UK or EU time zones
* Start date: ASAP
* Streamlined interview process
This is a fantastic opportunity for a hands-on data scientist who wants to build meaningful models, solve real-world problems, and shape the next phase of AI-driven innovation within a fast-moving digital business.
