Senior Data Scientist
Location: Leeds - Hybrid
Salary: Up to £85,000 + Excellent Benefits
Job Type: Permanent, Full Time
We're looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join a high-growth technology business where machine learning plays a critical role in driving commercial performance.
This is an opportunity to work on complex optimisation challenges at scale, developing models that directly influence pricing decisions, customer outcomes, and revenue generation. You'll be joining a collaborative team of data scientists and engineers, working across machine learning, optimisation, and next-generation AI applications.
The Role
As a Senior Data Scientist, you'll take ownership of developing and improving production machine learning models used to support pricing and commercial decision-making.
You'll partner closely with commercial, product, finance, and engineering teams to identify opportunities, design experiments, and deliver solutions that generate measurable business impact. This role combines advanced modelling with hands-on deployment, making it ideal for someone who enjoys taking ideas from concept through to production.
