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
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
If you're a Data Scientist who enjoys taking models out of the notebook and making them work in the real world, we'd like to hear from you.
Requirements
What we’re looking for
- A proven commercial track record taking ML models from prototype through to production
- Strong experience with Google Cloud Platform, BigQuery and Vertex AI
- Strong Python and SQL skills
- Experience in feature engineering, statistical validation and model evaluation
- Comfortable working with messy, imperfect real-world data rather than clean benchmark datasets
- Able to explain model outputs clearly to both technical and commercial audiences
