If you enjoy solving complex, open ended problems and want your models to directly influence real world decisions, this role stands out. You will work in a highly analytical environment where data science is central to pricing strategy, with the freedom to experiment, challenge assumptions, and build genuinely innovative solutions.

The Company

They are a large, digitally focused organisation operating in a consumer market rich with data and complexity. Analytics and data science sit at the heart of how the business assesses risk, prices products, and drives sustainable growth. Significant ongoing investment in technology and cloud infrastructure means data teams are well supported to innovate and deliver impact at scale.

The Role
  • Build and improve predictive models that shape pricing and customer selection strategies.
  • Work with large, messy datasets to uncover insight and improve commercial outcomes.
  • Develop and iterate on advanced machine learning models, including gradient boosting approaches.
  • Explore alternative and novel data sources, including geospatial style data, to enhance pricing accuracy.
  • Take ownership of models from early exploration through to deployment and iteration.
  • Collaborate closely with stakeholders across pricing, analytics, and engineering.
  • Support and mentor junior colleagues, contributing to a strong team culture.
Your Skills & Experience
    • Strong commercial experience in data science or applied machine learning.
    • Demonstrable experience building predictive models used in pricing, risk, or customer decisioning.
    • Confidence working end to end across the modelling lifecycle, from problem definition to deployment.
    • Strong Python and SQL skills, with experience working in cloud based environments.
    • Ability to communicate modelling approaches and results clearly to non technical stakeholders.
    • A curious mindset with an interest in improving pricing accuracy through data and innovation.

What They Offer
  • Salary between £60,000 and £75,000.
  • Additional cash bonus on top of base salary.
  • Hybrid working with one day per week in the office.
