Job Description
Data Science Manager
Location: London (Hybrid)
Compensation: Upto £130,000
Are you a hands-on data scientist who thrives in fast-paced, high-performance environments?
We’re working with a world-leading private equity firm that sits at the intersection of cutting-edge analytics and strategic investment. They are seeking a Data Science Manager—someone who combines exceptional technical depth with commercial insight to influence billion-dollar decisions.
This is not a people management role—this is a hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up position, ideal for someone who loves to code, lead from the front, and drive impact through data. You’ll be a pivotal part of a small, elite team responsible for delivering analytical firepower across deal sourcing, due diligence, and post-acquisition value creation.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading complex analytics projects across portfolio companies and investment opportunities.
- Scoping and delivering bespoke data science solutions that inform high-stakes decision-making.
- Acting as a technical lead and mentor for junior contributors and contractors.
- Building reusable IP: dashboards, codebases, tooling, and frameworks.
- Collaborating with C-level execs and deal teams on high-impact commercial initiatives.
What We’re Looking For
- A strong academic background in a STEM field (Master’s preferred).
- Proven experience in data science, machine learning, or analytics in consulting, PE, or financial services.
- Advanced Python and SQL skills; exposure to tools like Snowflake, Databricks, Power BI/Tableau.
- A commercial mindset—someone who can connect analytical output with business outcomes.
- Clear communicator who builds trust with senior stakeholders and thrives in ambiguity.
