Job Description
Senior Consultant – Data Science & AI - Northwest
£60,000 – £80,000 base
Hybrid – client-facing (multiple days per week on-site)
SC Cleared or SC Clearable – Essential
About the role
We’re hiring a Senior Consultant in Data Science & AI to partner with a Principal Consultant on live client projects.
You’ll be hands-on from day one — applying your data science expertise to design, build and deploy intelligent solutions that move from PoC through MVP into Alpha/Beta.
This is a client-facing role: you’ll spend several days each week on-site, collaborating directly with customers to understand business challenges and craft data-driven answers.
Given the sensitivity of many engagements, you must be SC Cleared or immediately SC Clearable.
What you’ll do
* Deliver hands-on Data Science and Machine Learning solutions in real-world settings.
* Build, train and validate models that underpin Proofs of Concept and MVPs.
* Contribute to the full lifecycle — PoC → MVP → Alpha → Beta → Production.
* Work closely with clients on-site, translating data insights into practical recommendations.
* Support design workshops, testing, and solution documentation.
* Share knowledge and collaborate with the Principal Consultant to develop best practice.
What we’re looking for
* Strong foundation in Data Science, Machine Learning and AI engineering.
* Proficiency with Python and modern data/AI frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, etc.).
* Comfortable working on-site with clients multiple times per week — building relationships and credibility.
* Consulting mindset: analytical, inquisitive, adaptable, and outcome-focused.
* Passion for turning data science theory into real, measurable business value.
* Must be SC Cleared or SC Clearable – this is a firm requirement.
Why join
You’ll be part of a two-person Data Science & AI delivery squad doing meaningful, applied work — not theoretical R&D. Expect exposure to senior stakeholders, the chance to experiment with new AI techniques, and the satisfaction of seeing your models deliver tangible results.
