Senior Data Scientist (Financial Services)

Senior Data Scientist - 12-Month Contract
Manchester | Hybrid (3 Days per Week in Office)

I'm currently recruiting for a Senior Data Scientist to join an exciting financial services transformation programme in Manchester.

This is an opportunity for someone who brings more than just technical modelling expertise. The role combines Data Science, advanced analytics and data visualisation, with a real focus on turning complex data into meaningful insights that influence business decisions.

You'll play an important part in developing data products, building engaging Power BI dashboards and taking analytical models from initial exploration through to production. Working closely with business stakeholders, you'll help ensure that data science solutions deliver tangible commercial value rather than simply sitting in a dashboard or model.

Key Skills & Experience:

• Strong background across Data Science and Data Analytics.
• Advanced Power BI dashboard development and data visualisation.
• Experience with AI-enabled conversational insights.
• Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and feature engineering.
• Model development, selection and validation.
• Model governance, productionisation and monitoring.
• Experience managing the full end-to-end data science lifecycle.
• Ability to translate complex analysis into actionable business insights.

Experience within Wealth Management, Asset Management, Banking or FinTech would be highly advantageous. Exposure to Generative AI or AI Engineering is also beneficial.

Contract: 12 months
Location: Manchester
Working Pattern: Hybrid - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in the office.
