£60,000 to £75,000
This is an opportunity to join a pricing team building innovative models that shape how pricing decisions are made. You will work with complex and novel datasets, develop predictive models, and help advance a modern modelling framework that delivers real commercial impact.

The Company
They are a well-established organisation investing in data science and advanced analytics. The pricing team operates with agility and encourages curiosity, experimentation and rapid learning. With strong leadership backing and a growing modelling roadmap, they are looking to add experienced Senior Data Scientists to support their next phase of development.

The Role
* Develop, refresh and combine pricing and footprint models that support pricing decisions.
* Work with messy, complex datasets including geospatial and alternative data sources.
* Build predictive and residual models across major products, contributing to a wider model chain.
* Review and improve existing early-stage models, progressing them toward production readiness.
* Explore new ways to manage and integrate multiple models within a stack.
* Guide a junior Data Scientist and support their technical development.
* Communicate model outputs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Your Skills and Experience
* Strong experience working with large, messy and diverse datasets.
* Hands-on modelling experience using GLMs, XGBoost or similar predictive methods.
* Proficiency in Python and SQL, ideally within a cloud environment such as Azure.
* Experience combining or managing multiple models in a pipeline.
* Clear communication skills with the ability to explain insights effectively.
* A curious mindset and the ability to work at pace.
* Insurance experience is welcome but not essential.

What They Offer
* A salary between £60,000 and £75,000.
* Hybrid working with London or Leicester as a base.
* The chance to build impactful pricing and footprint models.
* Career development through ownership, visibility and coaching opportunities.
