Job description

We’re looking for an experienced Data Scientist to take an ML capability from prototype through to production. This is a hands-on delivery role, rather than a research position. The details

  • £600-£700 per day, depending on experience
  • Outside IR35
  • Glasgow based, with hybrid working
  • Starting September 2026
  • Initial 14-week contract, with potential to extend What you’ll do

  • Define clean, modelling-ready datasets and build robust validation around them
  • Train and optimise models across multiple B2B datasets, including ranking and weighting
  • Build scoring outputs, reporting and visualisations that commercial teams can act on
  • Retrain, test and refine models against live data as volumes scale
  • Work closely with CRM and SDR teams to embed outputs into day-to-day processes
  • Help establish the processes and infrastructure needed to make ML repeatable and scalable

If you’re a Data Scientist who enjoys taking models out of the notebook and making them work in the real world, we’d like to hear from you.

Requirements

  • A proven commercial track record taking ML models from prototype through to production
  • Strong experience with Google Cloud Platform, BigQuery and Vertex AI
  • Strong Python and SQL skills
  • Experience in feature engineering, statistical validation and model evaluation
  • Comfortable working with messy, imperfect real-world data rather than clean benchmark datasets
  • Able to explain model outputs clearly to both technical and commercial audiences Experience with B2B sales, outbound, CRM or conversation intelligence data would be a bonus, but isn’t essential.
