Do you want to build a behavioural intelligence product using US population-scale data

Have you worked with survey + digital behavioural signals and want to turn that into a scalable data product?

We’re partnering with a fast-growing behavioural healthcare analytics business (~40 people) with teams across Washington DC, London and Delhi. They sit at the intersection of behavioural science and data science, helping organisations understand what drives real-world healthcare behaviour (e.g. vaccine uptake, medication adherence, clinical trial participation) through large-scale datasets, modelling and insight products.

This is a builder culture where curiosity, creativity and strong scientific thinking are genuinely valued.

They’re hiring a Senior Behavioural Data Scientist to join a product/R&D team focused on the US market. You’ll work on high-impact research programmes translating behavioural datasets into usable benchmarks and recommendations for healthcare stakeholders.

Up to £95k base + 10%+ bonus.
