About The Role
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Founding Data Scientist / Machine Learning Scientist to join a dynamic, service-based business that is in the process of building its in-house data science capability for the first time. This fully remote role offers the opportunity to work closely with the leadership team, with occasional visits to our London office.

Your primary focus will be on developing predictive models for customer churn and complaint propensity, alongside other forecasting and analytical projects that support business growth and customer retention initiatives.
This role provides genuine ownership of the entire data science lifecycle, from conceptualizing modeling approaches, building and validating models, to deploying scalable, robust, and production-ready solutions.
