Data Scientist - #2158981

Data Scientist | Manchester City Centre | Hybrid | Bonus + Benefits

Most data roles let you build models. This one lets you see them change how a business runs.

Our client is an ethical, meritocratic Financial Services business in the heart of Manchester. It's a place where analytics isn't a support function; it drives how the business operates. You'll be surrounded by bright, curious colleagues, where good ideas win regardless of who they come from.

What you'll actually be doing

You'll turn large, messy operational datasets into decisions that make a difference:

→ Hunting down trends, patterns and anomalies, and explaining why they matter

→ Building and maintaining statistical models (regression, time series, predictive) that directly improve how operations run

→ Writing Python and SQL to clean, shape and automate data pipelines

→ Working side by side with operations teams to find efficiency gains, then designing the fix

→ Presenting your findings to senior leadership and the board in plain English, not jargon

You'll bring

A degree in Maths, Stats, Computer Science, Physics or another numerate subject

Commercial (not Academic) UK experience as a Data Scientist or Operational Analyst

Strong Python and SQL (these are must-haves)

Hands-on experience building and maintaining statistical models

The ability to make complex findings land with non-technical people

Bonus points for

Databricks, Power BI or Tableau, ML techniques (classifiers, regression and beyond), Git, and data warehousing knowledge.

The good stuff

Hybrid working (3 days in a great city-centre office), a bespoke bonus, solid benefits, and work you can point to and say "I did that."

The process

It's straightforward: an initial call, then a presentation and data exercise where you'll meet the team and spend time in the office.The excercise is an on-site 3 hour coding excercise in Python

You'll need to be UK-based, within commuting distance of Manchester, and not require sponsorship.
