Senior Data Scientist

Are you an experienced Data Scientist who enjoys turning complex data into actionable insight? Are you comfortable working across technical, creative and commercial teams to solve challenging problems?

We are working with a leading marketing, advertising and public relations agency that uses data and technology to deliver innovative solutions for a range of high-profile clients.

The Role

As a Senior Data Scientist, you will play a key role in shaping data strategy and using advanced analytics to support impactful marketing and commercial decisions.

You will:

  • Lead end-to-end data science projects, from hypothesis generation through to model development and deployment.
  • Work closely with marketing, creative and technical teams to understand business requirements and develop data-driven solutions.
  • Apply advanced statistical techniques and machine learning to identify trends, patterns and opportunities.
  • Translate complex analysis into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Present findings and recommendations in an engaging and accessible way.
  • Mentor and support junior members of the data science team, helping to develop technical capability and best practice.

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.
