Job description

🔍 Senior Consultant – Data Science & AI - Northwest

💰 £60,000 – £80,000 base

📍 Hybrid – client-facing (multiple days per week on-site)

🔒 SC Cleared or SC Clearable – Essential

About the role

We’re hiring a Senior Consultant in Data Science & AI to partner with a Principal Consultant on live client projects.

You’ll be hands‑on from day one — applying your data science expertise to design, build and deploy intelligent solutions that move from PoC through MVP into Alpha/Beta.

This is a client‑facing role: you’ll spend several days each week on‑site, collaborating directly with customers to understand business challenges and craft data‑driven answers.

Given the sensitivity of many engagements, you must be SC Cleared or immediately SC Clearable.

What you’ll do

• Deliver hands‑on Data Science and Machine Learning solutions in real‑world settings.
• Build, train and validate models that underpin Proofs of Concept and MVPs.
• Contribute to the full lifecycle — PoC → MVP → Alpha → Beta → Production.
• Work closely with clients on‑site, translating data insights into practical recommendations.
• Support design workshops, testing, and solution documentation.
• Share knowledge and collaborate with the Principal Consultant to develop best practice.

What we’re looking for

• Strong foundation in Data Science, Machine Learning and AI engineering.
• Proficiency with Python and modern data/AI frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit‑learn, etc.).
• Comfortable working on‑site with clients multiple times per week — building relationships and credibility.
• Consulting mindset: analytical, inquisitive, adaptable, and outcome‑focused.
• Passion for turning data science theory into real, measurable business value.
• Must be SC Cleared or SC Clearable – this is a firm requirement.

Why join

You’ll be part of a two‑person Data Science & AI delivery squad doing meaningful, applied work — not theoretical R&D. Expect exposure to senior stakeholders, the chance to experiment with new AI techniques, and the satisfaction of seeing your models deliver tangible results.
