This is a chance to take ownership of end-to-end machine learning products within a large-scale personalisation programme, where data science directly shapes customer experiences. You will work on production systems rather than proofs of concept, with clear visibility of impact across a highly engaged user base. The role combines technical depth, leadership, and close collaboration with product and engineering teams.

The Company

They are a well-established UK organisation operating at scale, with data and AI at the heart of their long-term strategy.

  • Design, build, and maintain production-ready ML systems that drive personalised customer experiences

  • Translate ambiguous business problems into well-scoped, measurable data science initiatives
  • Work closely with data engineering, software engineering, and product teams to ensure solutions are scalable and adopted
  • Measure and optimise model performance and real-world impact, including engagement and behavioural outcomes
  • Contribute to broader AI adoption and best practices across the organisation, including emerging generative AI use cases

Your Skills and Experience

  • Strong commercial experience applying machine learning techniques such as regression and classification to real-world problems
  • Advanced Python and SQL skills, with experience working across complex datasets
  • Proven track record of delivering production machine learning solutions end to end
  • Experience leading data science projects and guiding others through delivery
  • Confident communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Comfortable working in ambiguous environments and shaping solutions proactively

What They Offer

  • Salary between £75,000 and £95,000 depending on experience
  • Performance-related bonus paid twice yearly
