Senior Data Scientist
£70,000-£90,000 + Stock Options
London (Hybrid)
Are you an optimisation expert ready to make a real-world impact? This is your chance to join my client, a well-funded, fast-growing start up that is reshaping how supply chains operate across logistics, retail, and hospitality.
In this role, you'll take ownership of building and deploying advanced optimisation models that drive immediate business outcomes. You'll work closely with a small, talented data science team where your expertise won't get lost in layers of hierarchy; instead, every model you design will directly influence client operations and company growth.
The company has already secured major enterprise clients and boasts strong investor backing, giving you the rare mix of start up agility with financial stability. With a modern platform already in place, you'll have the freedom to push boundaries, experiment with cutting-edge optimisation, and explore opportunities to integrate machine learning and natural language interaction into next-generation solutions.
Why this role stands out:
Work on cutting-edge optimisation problems with direct impact on global supply chains.
Join a well-funded startup with strong investor backing and a secure financial runway.
Be part of a small, talented data science team where your contributions are highly visible.
Opportunity to shape the product and roadmap, not just deliver incremental improvements.
Freedom to explore machine learning and NLP alongside optimisation.
Hybrid setup: 1-2 days a week in central London, with flexibility around the rest.
Package: £70,000-£90,000 base salary, share options, and private healthcare.
What you'll be doing:
Designing and deploying advanced optimisation models that solve complex, high-value problems.
Taking solutions from research into production-ready Python code.
Collaborating closely with the Head of Data Science and founders on product direction.
Partnering with enterprise clients to deliver measurable operational improvements.
What we're looking for:
Deep expertise in optimisation/operations research (linear, integer, or mixed-integer programming).
Strong Python engineering skills, with experience in model deployment.
Familiarity with supply chain, logistics, retail, pharma, or warehousing highly desirable.
Experience in well-regarded teams or companies with strong development practices.
Someone who can add value immediately - this is a senior, hands-on role.
If you're ready to take on a high-impact role where your work shapes both the product and the company's future, we'd love to hear from you.
