London, United Kingdom ICF Full time

ICF works on the key challenges of our times, supporting governments in the design, appraisal and delivery of policies and programmes across a wide range of issues - from migration, security, technology to health, food and the environment.

Our Data Science Team works in partnership with experts across our business, applying data science methods to create innovative solutions for ICF clients in the UK and EU. The team’s work has a particular focus on the application of data science to public policy research and analysis. 

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to contribute to the further growth and success of this team by applying expertise in data science to client projects and working closely with the team leader to provide coaching and line management to more junior data scientists.

You will typically be working on a few projects at a time, interacting with all levels of ICF staff and external stakeholders. You will contribute to drafting research reports and proposals, and present findings to clients. We are particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate a genuine interest in public policies in the areas we cover.

We have a flexible, hybrid model in which you can balance working from home with use of our UK bases in London, Plymouth, Leeds and Birmingham.

Skills, Knowledge and Experience

We welcome applications from candidates with:

At minimum, a Bachelor’s degree in disciplines such as Data Science or Social Sciences. At least three years of practical experience within industry, government, or consulting in applying data-driven approaches to a variety of business scenarios, including creation and use of advanced analytics or machine learning algorithms. Previous line management experience. An understanding of data science and machine learning concepts and algorithms such as clustering, regression, classification, forecasting, neural networks, hyperparameter tuning, NLP, and utilising LLMs. An understanding of the importance of effective communication with clients and experience of relaying complex technical concepts to diverse audiences. Proficiency in Python. Strong report writing and presentation skills. Excellent command of English language.

Experience of (i) query languages such as SQL and (ii) working on proposals for client work would be advantageous but are not essential.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.

More about ICF

ICF is a global consulting services company with over 9,000 full- and part-time employees, but we are not your typical consultants. We believe in collaboration, mutual respect, open communication, and opportunity for growth.

We give active support to career progression. We are committed to learning and personal development - providing in-house training programmes, access to our communities of practice and online learning resources.

We provide a supportive, collegiate work environment. Our ‘You Matter’ programme enables recognition of colleague’s contributions, support and success.
