Data Science & Prototyping Developer

Marketing & Communications

We're looking for a highly autonomous Data Science & Prototyping Developer to join our Marcom Data Analysis & Insights team.

This role combines deep data‐science expertise with rapid‐prototyping skills to build the next generation of AI‐integrated reporting and measurement tools.

You'll work closely with a lean team to transform high‐level ideas into working solutions that inform marketing decisions across the organisation.

Description

  • As a Data Science & Prototyping Developer, you will act as an extension of the Data Analysis & Insights Lead to design, build and iterate on analytical prototypes and automated reporting solutions.
  • You'll take ownership of everything from exploratory data analysis and modelling to developing proof‐of‐concept applications that enable deeper insight into marketing performance.
  • The environment is intentionally lean; success requires someone who thrives on independence, communicates clearly with non‐technical stakeholders, and cares deeply about craftsmanship.
  • This role will also temporarily steward our legacy web‐analytics reporting while working to automate it away.
  • Our hybrid schedule means you'll collaborate in‐person in London Tuesday–Thursday and work remotely Monday and Friday.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build marketing analytics reporting using Adobe Analytics data, Tableau and in‐house visualisations.
  • Develop automated pipelines that deliver campaign performance and event‐level reporting with minimal manual intervention.
  • Own legacy web‐analytics workflows and drive their migration to automated solutions.
  • Prototype and integrate AI/ML models to enhance analytical workflows and automate insight generation.
  • Explore and develop new measurement methodologies and modelling techniques; conduct exploratory analyses to surface new insights.
  • Translate business questions into structured analytical approaches and communicate findings clearly to non‐technical partners.
  • Balance urgent ad‐hoc analytical requests with longer‐term R&D initiatives, maintaining momentum in a fluid environment.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 5+ years' experience in data analytics, data science or analytics engineering roles.
  • Advanced proficiency in Python for data processing, modelling and rapid prototyping.
  • Hands‐on experience with modern data warehouses (Snowflake strongly preferred)
  • Proficiency with Git and professional software‐development workflows.
  • Working knowledge of digital analytics concepts; experience with Adobe Analytics or Google Analytics.
  • Experience with data visualisation tools or libraries (e.g., Tableau/Looker or D3/Plotly).
  • Demonstrated experience integrating LLMs/AI into data workflows beyond simple chatbot applications.
  • Portfolio showcasing applied machine‐learning solutions in business contexts.
  • Understanding of marketing analytics and campaign measurement.
  • Ability to gather requirements from non‐technical stakeholders and translate
  • them into technical solutions.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated deployments.
  • Familiarity with Agile or Scrum practices.
  • Background in statistical modelling, forecasting or time‐series analysis.
  • Knowledge of A/B testing, causal inference and experimental design.
  • Previous experience in marketing or communications analytics.
  • Experience with additional programming languages (NodeJS, Deno, R, Rust, Swift, etc.).
