Data Scientist – Machine Learning & Modelling needed at Network Recruitment

• We’re looking for a Predictive Modeller who thrives on autonomy, owns their work end-to-end, and wants to push the boundaries of what’s possible with machine learning and data science.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Design and build predictive models from the ground up to solve real-world business problems.
• Own the entire modelling lifecycle—from data exploration to deployment.
• Apply advanced machine learning and statistical methods to drive performance and value.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to turn business challenges into model-driven solutions.
• Contribute to exploratory, strategic, and operational modelling projects.
• Drive innovation by questioning assumptions and delivering smarter insights.
• Continuously test, refine, and optimise models for accuracy and impact.

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years of hands-on predictive modelling experience (development, not just maintenance).
• Proven track record building models using real-world, messy datasets.
• Strong programming skills in Python, R, SQL, or equivalent.
• Deep understanding of machine learning algorithms and their application in a business context.
• Independent, proactive mindset – able to drive your work forward with minimal oversight.
• Experience in financial services or insurance modelling is a strong advantage.
• Must be office-based and excited to work in a fast-paced, collaborative team environment.
