Data Scientist (Contract)
Glasgow-based, hybrid working | £600–£700 per day | Outside IR35
Pursuit Marketing runs B2B outbound sales campaigns at scale.
We’re looking for an experienced Data Scientist to take an ML capability from prototype through to production. This is a hands-on delivery role, rather than a research position.
The Details
- £600–£700 per day, depending on experience
- Outside IR35
- Glasgow based, with hybrid working
- Starting September 2026
- Initial 14-week contract, with potential to extend
What You’ll Do
- Define clean, modelling-ready datasets and build robust validation around them
- Train and optimise models across multiple B2B datasets, including ranking and weighting
- Build scoring outputs, reporting and visualisations that commercial teams can act on
- Retrain, test and refine models against live data as volumes scale
- Work closely with CRM and SDR teams to embed outputs into day-to-day processes
- Help establish the processes and infrastructure needed to make ML repeatable and scalable
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
