Job Title: Senior Data Scientist
North Co Recruitment are working with a leading UK retail insurer to appoint a Senior Data Scientist into their pricing function. It's a role with genuine technical range - deep learning, predictive analytics and machine learning - and a direct line of sight into how your models shape business decisions, rather than sitting behind someone else's.
What you'll do
- Build and evaluate machine learning models, from deep learning through to predictive analytics, that solve genuine business problems.
- Own the data science lifecycle across large, multi-source datasets, from analysis and cleansing through to deployment.
- Apply a broad statistical toolkit, from GLMs and random forest to NLP, clustering and scenario analysis, to generate insight that gets acted on.
- Test and develop new external data sources to keep the team's analytical edge sharp.
- Partner directly with in-house technology and data delivery teams to move solutions from build into production.
- Review the work of junior team members, sharing good practice as the function grows.
- Spot and pitch new opportunities across the business where data science can add real value.

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.

- Working knowledge of SQL, data structures, ETL and data integration.
- A degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science or another quantitative field.
- Insurance experience or exposure to Databricks is a bonus, not a requirement.
- Occasional in-person collaboration at Haywards Heath or Manchester offices.
