Data Consultant

We're looking for a Principal Consultant in Data Science & AI to lead client engagements that transform how organisations use data.

Working as part of a small, high-impact Data Science & AI squad (typically paired with a Senior Consultant), you'll design and deliver advanced data-driven solutions - from Proof of Concept through MVP, Alpha and Beta stages.

You'll spend multiple days per week on client site, engaging face-to-face with stakeholders, shaping strategy, and translating cutting-edge data science into business value.

Because of the nature of our clients, SC Clearance (or the ability to obtain it) is non-negotiable.

What you'll do

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of Data Science and AI projects for enterprise clients.
• Architect and validate data models, ML pipelines, and LLM-powered solutions.
• Oversee Proof of Concept, MVP, Alpha and Beta phases, ensuring measurable outcomes.
• Operate as the senior on-site consultant, engaging directly with stakeholders several times a week.
• Mentor junior team members and champion data science best practice.
• Advise on data governance, model performance, and responsible AI principles.

• Significant hands-on Data Science experience, ideally within consulting or digital transformation.
• Depth in Machine Learning, Predictive Modelling, and LLM frameworks (Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face, etc.).
• Ability to translate complex data science outcomes into clear business narratives.
• Comfortable leading engagements in hybrid models - client site and remote.
• Confident, credible communicator able to influence senior stakeholders.
• Must be SC Cleared or SC Clearable - this is mandatory.
