Job description
As our Senior Data Scientist, you'll play a central role in shaping how Working Age Services uses data to improve digital products used by millions of citizens.
You'll work closely with product teams, engineers, analysts and designers to make sure every feature - from small improvements to major redesigns - is backed by robust insight.
You'll help set direction for data science within your portfolio, including supporting colleagues you don't directly line manage, and ensuring the best use of skills across teams.
That means advising when Data Science is the right approach - and when it isn't. You'll bring clarity to messy problem spaces, especially where data quality or requirements aren't as clear as they need to be.
Your work could include anything from helping discover new features, designing experiments and success measures, evaluating changes, improving data reliability, or developing models that support service improvements. You'll use your leadership to influence decisions, prioritise workloads, and keep teams focused on high-value opportunities.
This is a role we think is perfect for someone who thrives in imperfect real-world data environments, enjoys cutting through complexity, and knows how to communicate the value of Data Science to a wide range of digital and non-technical stakeholders. You'll help build a culture where data professionals of all types are understood, valued and used effectively.
Your impact will be felt across DWP and across society: improving services for claimants, supporting colleagues, and helping shape the future of digital welfare services in the UK., Job Title: Senior Systems Engineer Location: Warton, Hybrid We offer a range of hybrid and flexible working arrangements - please speak to your recruiter about the options for this particular role Salary: £49,400+ depending on experience Who we are: Join BAE..., Data Scientist Placement Programme - No Experience RequiredOur training will help you kick-start a new career as a Data Scientist.We are recruiting for companies who are looking to employ our Data Science Traineeship graduates to keep up with their growth.
