If you’re a hands-on Data Science / AI specialist who loves solving real operational problems, this role puts you right at the heart of client delivery. You’ll shape the problems, design and build the solutions, and see your models deployed into live environments – not parked as endless POCs.

THE COMPANY

They are building a modern AI & Digital capability that sits at the front of transformation programmes, working shoulder-to-shoulder with clients on their toughest operational challenges.

• Coaching and mentoring consultants to build their capabilities in DS/ML/AI and modern analytics

YOUR SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• Strong background in Data Science, Machine Learning, AI, simulation or advanced analytics, with clear examples of end-to-end delivery
• Proven ability to shape, not just execute: from defining the problem and designing the solution, through to delivery and measurement of impact
• Consulting capability – comfortable running client workshops, identifying opportunities, influencing senior stakeholders and supporting pitches
• Evidence of measurable commercial or operational impact (e.g. revenue growth, cost reduction, efficiency gains, service improvement)
• Hands-on experience building models and turning prototypes into robust, production-ready solutions
• Experience leading teams or technical workstreams in a project environment
• UK citizenship (for security clearance purposes) and willingness to travel across the UK 2-3 days per week, depending on client needs

• Background in a consulting environment or a high-performing in-house DS/AI team
• Exposure to sectors such as defence, public sector and consumer/retail
• Familiarity with modern data and AI tooling such as Python, Spark, Databricks, Azure cloud, and Generative AI platforms (experience with specific tools is helpful but not essential)
