This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing AI assurance business at a pivotal stage of its growth.

No sponsorship available.
The Company
They are an early-stage AI assurance organisation operating in a highly regulated and rapidly evolving market. Their work focuses on the independent evaluation of AI systems used in sensitive decision-making contexts, helping organisations demonstrate fairness, accountability, and compliance.

The Role
As a Senior Data Scientist, you will take ownership of the analytical methodologies that underpin the evaluation of AI systems. This role is research-led and statistically focused, rather than centred on building production machine learning models.

You will bring strong applied experience in statistical analysis and AI evaluation, with the confidence to make judgement calls in ambiguous, high-stakes environments.
Key requirements include:
- Strong commercial experience in applied statistics and experimental design
- Proven capability in bias and fairness evaluation for AI or algorithmic systems
- Experience generating and validating synthetic data for testing or assurance purposes
- Ability to critically assess methodology, limitations, and real-world implications of analytical outputs
- Confidence communicating complex findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Python experience for statistical analysis and reproducible research workflows
A PhD or advanced academic background in a relevant field is advantageous, but not essential if you bring strong applied industry experience.
What They Offer
- Salary of £100,000 to £120,000 plus meaningful equity
- Hybrid working model with three days per week in a London office
- High autonomy and influence in an early-stage, high-growth environment
