Job description
A fast-growing, high-impact international organisation is seeking a hands-on Senior Data Scientist to take ownership of the day-to-day analytics engine and machine learning models for an established international platform across the UK and Canadian markets.
Day to day responsibilities include:
- Production System Health: Oversee, refresh, and retrain the live ML model suite without needing to overhaul the underlying architecture. Keep an eye on model performance and drift.
- Commercial Analytics: Monitor baseline UK/CA performance metrics, investigate sudden anomalies, and triage operational issues across partner feeds, marketing campaigns, and recommendation logic.
- A/B Testing & Insights: Track active experiments, analyze reads, and make confident calls on promotional rollouts.
- Regulatory Compliance: Handle time-sensitive data extraction requests-including FCA reporting, DSARs, and compliance pulls-often under tight turnaround times.
- Cross-Functional Ownership: Act as the single point of contact for technical data matters across product, marketing, engineering, and legal/compliance teams.
Requirements
- 5+ Years Experience: Proven track record in live, production-grade data science and commercial analytics.
- Technical Stack: Advanced SQL and Python (or R) skills to maintain existing codebases and pipelines.
- Model Stewardship: Practical expertise in monitoring, troubleshooting, and retraining live ML models.
- Autonomous Operator: High self-direction to manage daily BAU operations with minimal oversight.
- Clear Communicator: Able to translate complex technical issues into actionable business insights.
Desirable Skills
- AI Tools like Claude code, OpenAI or similar
