Data Scientist (Contract)

Glasgow-based, hybrid working | £600–£700 per day | Outside IR35

Pursuit Marketing runs B2B outbound sales campaigns at scale.

We’re looking for an experienced Data Scientist to take an ML capability from prototype through to production. This is a hands‑on delivery role, rather than a research position.

The details

• £600–£700 per day, depending on experience
• Outside IR35
• Glasgow based, with hybrid working
• Starting September 2026
• Initial 14-week contract, with potential to extend

What You’ll Do

• Define clean, modelling‑ready datasets and build robust validation around them
• Train and optimise models across multiple B2B datasets, including ranking and weighting
• Build scoring outputs, reporting and visualisations that commercial teams can act on
• Retrain, test and refine models against live data as volumes scale
• Work closely with CRM and SDR teams to embed outputs into day‑to‑day processes
• Help establish the processes and infrastructure needed to make ML repeatable and scalable

If you’re a Data Scientist who enjoys taking models out of the notebook and making them work in the real world, we’d like to hear from you.

RequirementsWhat We’re Looking For

• A proven commercial track record taking ML models from prototype through to production
• Strong experience with Google Cloud Platform, BigQuery and Vertex AI
• Strong Python and SQL skills
• Experience in feature engineering, statistical validation and model evaluation
• Comfortable working with messy, imperfect real-world data rather than clean benchmark datasets
• Able to explain model outputs clearly to both technical and commercial audiences

Experience with B2B sales, outbound, CRM or conversation intelligence data would be a bonus, but isn’t essential.

Benefits

• £600–£700 per day, depending on experience
• Outside IR35
• Glasgow based, with hybrid working
• Starting September 2026
• Initial 14-week contract, with potential to extend
