Data Scientist

Bristol (Remote/ hybrid)

Permanent, Full-Time (37.5 hours/week)

£54,000 – £63,000 + bonus

Are you a problem-solver with a passion for data and innovation? We're looking for a Data Scientist to join a newly formed AI Centre of Excellence, working with over 40 years of data and 2 million clients to build impactful solutions that improve financial outcomes.

This is a remote-first role, with only one day per month required in our Bristol office.

Data Scientist: About the Role

You’ll be working with cutting-edge technologies including AWS (SageMaker) and Snowflake, building machine learning models and AI-driven tools that support clients in making informed investment decisions. You’ll collaborate closely with product teams and engage with internal stakeholders, third parties, and clients to deliver scalable, cloud-based solutions.

Data Scientist: Key Responsibilities

• Build and deploy machine learning models in AWS to improve client experience and internal productivity.
• Productionise models and expose outputs via scalable APIs.
• Collaborate with product teams to develop tools that support client ROI and retirement planning.

• Engage with non-technical stakeholders to translate insights into actionable solutions.
• Drive innovation through Generative AI and advanced ML techniques.

Data Scientist: What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in Python and SQL; Snowflake or DBT experience is a plus.
• Proven ability to work autonomously—identify problems and build solutions independently.
• Customer-centric mindset with a passion for solving real-world problems.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience in client-facing roles or FinTech is desirable but not essential.
• A collaborative team player who values continuous learning and development.

Benefits

• Discretionary annual bonus (15% - 40%)
• Annual pay review
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + Christmas closure
• Option to purchase 5 additional holiday days
• Pension scheme (up to 11% employer contribution)
• Income protection and life insurance (4x salary)
• Private medical insurance and Westfield Health coverage
• Mental health support and remote GP access
• Flexible working options including hybrid and remote
• Paid volunteering days, travel schemes, and wellness support
