Job Description

Is this you? You're a natural communicator who thrives in client-facing roles and enjoys solving complex business problems. With a sharp analytical mind, you effortlessly translate business challenges into data science solutions. You enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams and can hold your own in both boardroom discussions and technical deep-dives. If you're adaptable, proactive, and skilled at building relationships while staying hands-on with technology, this might be your next move.
What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it) As a Data Science Consultant, you'll act as the bridge between clients and technical teams, gathering requirements, facilitating workshops, and translating insights into actionable plans. Your time will be split between leading client engagements and delivering high-quality technical work. You'll be analysing data, building predictive models, coding in Python or R, and contributing to the deployment and optimisation of machine learning models. This hybrid role will keep your soft skills sharp and your technical edge intact, making it ideal for someone who enjoys variety and impact.
Where you'll be doing it Our client is an established analytics consultancy working with forward-thinking organisations across various industries. With a reputation for technical excellence and client impact, they foster a collaborative and innovative culture where continuous learning is encouraged. You'll join a talented team that values curiosity, quality, and effective problem-solving.
What you'll need You'll have at least five years' experience in data science or analytics, with strong technical skills in Python or R, SQL, and ML frameworks such as Scikit-Learn or TensorFlow. You should also bring experience in data visualisation, feature engineering, and cloud platforms like AWS or Azure. Familiarity with BI tools and MLOps is an advantage. Most importantly, you'll be confident in client interactions and capable of delivering clear, solution-driven communication.
What you'll get A role that offers the best of both worlds: hands-on technical challenges and real client impact. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies, enjoy flexible collaboration, and be part of a people-first culture that supports your growth.
