Data Science at Moorhouse

Our Data Science capability is a growing and strategically significant part of Moorhouse. We help organisations unlock the value of their data by combining deep technical expertise with the consulting skills needed to drive real-world change. Our team works across the full data and analytics lifecycle, from defining strategy and enabling data-driven cultures, to building advanced analytical models and delivering digital products that embed predictive insight into everyday decision-making.

We partner with clients across multiple sectors, including healthcare, energy and utilities, life sciences, financial services and TMT. Much of our work today focuses on developing and deploying analytical tools and web-based products that deliver forecasting, optimisation, and automated insight. Our projects span machine learning, statistical modelling, data engineering, data visualisation and MLOps, always with a focus on driving tangible business outcomes.

As demand for digital and AI-enabled transformation continues to grow, our Data Science team is expanding and contributing to some of the most impactful programmes across the firm.

Responsibilities

We are seeking a hands-on, technically focused Manager to join the Data Science function, who will lead the delivery of complex data science and digital product projects. While there will be opportunities to contribute to business growth and propositions, the key component of this role is strong technical delivery: architecting solutions, guiding teams, and ensuring the highest-quality output.

This role complements another Manager in the team who is focused on proposition development and commercial growth. You will bring the deep engineering and delivery expertise necessary to ensure our solutions are robust, scalable and production-ready.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to:

• Design and architect analytical solutions, including modelling approaches, data pipelines, integration patterns and deployment frameworks
• Promote delivery excellence, engineering discipline and best-practice coding standards across teams
• Be the technical leadership on DevOps/MLOps
• Implement and embed CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks, containerisation and monitoring
• Guide cloud architecture and infrastructure-as-code approaches (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Encourage best practices for operationalising machine learning models at scale
• Lead multidisciplinary teams with confidence
• Coach, mentor and support junior team members, ensuring they deliver high-quality technical work
• Foster engineering maturity and support the development of technical capability across the team
• Engage with senior stakeholders
• Translate technical detail into actionable insights and recommendations for clients
• Build trusted relationships with leaders across multiple sectors
• Support commercial and proposition development
• Provide technical input into proposals and bids
• Contribute to refining our Data Science and AI propositions

Essential skills

We are seeking candidates with 6–8+ years of experience in data science, data engineering, analytics or AI product delivery, with a strong emphasis on hands-on technical leadership.

Deep Technical Delivery Expertise

• Advanced proficiency in Python and SQL; experience designing and delivering production-grade solutions
• Operationalisation of machine learning models, forecasting tools, optimisation algorithms or analytical applications
• Experience designing data pipelines, ETL workflows, APIs and data integration approaches
• Automated testing (unit, integration, data validation, ML testing)
• Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, ARM, CloudFormation)
• Monitoring and observability
• Experience with cloud ecosystems (Azure, AWS, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks)
• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals and modern development practices

Leadership & Consulting Capability

• Proven ability to lead delivery of complex technical programmes
• Strong people leadership and mentoring capabilities
• Excellent communication skills and ability to engage senior stakeholders
• Collaborative mindset and commitment to high-quality client delivery

What we can offer you:

• A total cash package of up to £110,000 comprising of a base salary of £82,005 and a combination of personal and company bonuses that are paid every six months
• 25 days annual leave increasing by one day for every full year of service to a maximum of 30 days with the option to buy or sell up to five days of annual leave per year
• Life Assurance, Private Medical Insurance, Group Personal Pension Scheme and a range of discounted lifestyle and well-being benefits through Perkbox
• A culture where you will not need to compete with others because of promotion quotas or the typical distribution curves that govern performance management in other organisations
• We recognise and reward performance consistently and transparently across the firm so that everyone knows where they stand
• We offer flexible working arrangements with our offices near Liverpool Street although you can expect to spend some time as part of a team on UK client sites
• We support flexibility wherever possible
