Job description

Data Scientist - Behavioural Intelligence Consulting

Permanent role, 4 days in the Central London office.

Are you a Data Scientist who wants to go deeper than dashboards and prediction models — and uncover the why behind human decision-making?

Are you excited by the idea of combining analytics, experimentation, AI and behavioural science to shape how people think, decide and act?

If so, this role offers the chance to do truly meaningful, career-defining work.

About the Role

A growing consultancy at the forefront of behavioural science and human‑centred design is expanding its Behavioural Intelligence capability — blending data science, behavioural analytics, experimentation and AI.

We’re looking for a curious, commercially minded Data Scientist who enjoys solving complex problems, finding behavioural patterns in data, and turning insights into simple, powerful stories.

You’ll work alongside behavioural scientists, researchers and consultants to deliver analytical projects for major clients across industries such as finance, retail, energy and utilities.

It’s the ideal next step for someone with solid technical foundations who wants to broaden into consulting, experimentation, behavioural analytics and insight‑led storytelling.

What You’ll Do

Analyse Behavioural & Customer Data

• Work with varied datasets (implicit response data, transactions, qualitative transcripts).
• Build clustering, segmentation, predictive and ML models to explain and forecast behaviour.
• Support experimental design, hypothesis testing and behavioural measurement.

Create Impactful Insights

• Translate analytical findings into clear, behavioural and commercially grounded recommendations.
• Present insights to non‑technical stakeholders and support consultants on client programmes.

Improve Tools & Workflows

• Contribute to reproducible code, documentation and internal data practices.
• Support automation, pipeline development and embedding analytics into client solutions.

Work Across Disciplines

• Partner with behavioural scientists, designers and strategists to combine data with human insight.
• Help develop the consultancy’s Behavioural Intelligence toolkit and AI‑enabled ways of working.

What You Bring

• Around 2–5 years of experience in data science or applied analytics.
• Strong skills in Python and SQL (R a bonus).
• Experience with machine learning techniques (clustering, regression, NLP, ensemble methods).
• Good grounding in statistics (hypothesis testing, regression, experimental design basics).
• Ability to distil complex technical results into simple, engaging narratives.
• Curiosity about human behaviour and decision‑making.
• Experience running end‑to‑end analytics projects.

Nice to have:

• Cloud experience (Azure, AWS or GCP).
• NLP / text analytics.
• Exposure to A/B testing.
• Understanding of behavioural science principles.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work at the intersection of data science and behavioural science — a rare and exciting blend.
• Solve meaningful, human‑centred problems with real‑world impact.
• Grow in a multidisciplinary environment that mixes behavioural research, consulting and AI.
• Join a culture that values curiosity, experimentation, rigour and continuous learning.

Benefits include:

season ticket loan, cycle‑to‑work scheme, discounted gym membership, health screening & dental cover, EAP, free annual eye test, a well‑stocked office kitchen and regular team socials.
