Senior Data Scientist (Generative AI & Enterprise Analytics)

Location: Glasgow office (hybrid)

About the Opportunity
Are you a seasoned Data Scientist who wants to move beyond traditional dashboards and shape the future of conversational, AI-driven business intelligence?
We are a global enterprise looking for a senior technical expert to lead a pivotal internal transformation. We are intentionally at the beginning of this journey and need your external expertise to help us co-create scalable, AI-enabled insight solutions. You will sit at the intersection of data science, semantic modelling, and applied AI, transforming complex enterprise data into trusted, natural-language experiences for executive-level leadership.
This role isn't about building experimental AI demos without guardrails. It is about creating trusted, enterprise-grade conversational insights where accuracy, clarity, and traceability matter more than novelty.
Key Responsibilities
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.
- AI-Insight Engineering: Design and develop conversational analytics experiences over complex enterprise data models, enabling natural-language exploration for senior stakeholders.
- Trust by Design: Implement strict approaches to explicitly minimize LLM hallucinations (e.g., through strong semantic constraints and retrieval-based patterns). Ensure all AI-generated insights are completely traceable back to verifiable facts.
- Model Optimization: Partner with BI developers to optimize semantic models, metrics, and business logic for AI-readiness.
- Capability & Strategy: Act as the trusted technical expert within the team, sharing emerging best practices, defining guardrails for responsible AI, and coaching analysts on conversational analytics principles.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Work closely with executive-level leaders to understand their decision-making needs and translate complex technical concepts into clear, business-oriented language.

- Applied AI Experience: Hands-on experience working with LLMs, conversational AI, or natural language analytics in a real-world, production context.
- Risk Mitigation: A deep understanding of hallucination risks and proven methods to mitigate them in AI systems.
- Data Hygiene: A solid grounding in data quality, governance, metric definition, and statistical validation.
- Mindset: The ability to thrive and operate effectively in early-stage, ambiguous environments where you will help shape the solution rather than just building to a fixed specification.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary of £80,000.
- Flexible hybrid working model (typically 1 day a week in the office, with occasional additional days for collaborative workshops).
- The autonomy to shape an enterprise-scale AI strategy from the ground up.
