Lead AI & Data Scientist
London/ Hybrid | up to £140k + Benefits

Most data leadership roles sit at one end of the spectrum. Either highly technical, buried in models and architecture, or heavily stakeholder-focused with little involvement in the actual delivery.

You'll lead a growing Data science function responsible for delivering real-world AI, machine learning and data science solutions across a complex professional services environment.

The next phase involves expanding AI capability, shaping a longer-term roadmap around emerging technologies such as Agentic AI, and driving adoption across the wider business.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading a team of Data Scientists and AI specialists
• Defining Data & AI strategy and technical direction
• Designing and delivering Machine Learning, NLP, GenAI and RAG-based solutions
• Working directly with senior business stakeholders and clients
• Translating complex technical concepts into clear business language
• Driving delivery of AI products from concept through to production
• Establishing governance, evaluation frameworks and responsible AI controls
• Coaching and mentoring technical teams while remaining hands-on when required
  
  

To be successful, you'll need a strong background in Data Science, Machine Learning and modern AI technologies, combined with the communication skills to operate confidently from technical workshops through to executive-level discussions.

If you can articulate complex AI concepts in 30 seconds, influence stakeholders at every level, and lead a team focused on solving difficult business problems with data – please apply.

An opportunity to help shape the future direction of AI within a business that is investing heavily in the technology, in a disruptive industry and determined to stay ahead of the curve.
