Our Principal Data Scientists are responsible for leading and delivering strategically significant, complex client engagements across our portfolio of clients.
We believe that great delivery stems from a thorough understanding of our clients and their needs, strong discipline skills and subject matter expertise, excellent leadership and a clear vision of lasting and effective change in a public sector environment. We expect our Principal Data Scientist to bring all of that and enthuse our delivery teams with the same passion.
The successful candidate will lead the Data Science aspects of our client engagements while overseeing the wider delivery within the account (or industry) when appropriate. They will coach and develop team members on their engagements providing them with detailed performance feedback, as well as monitoring overall delivery to achieve the highest levels of client satisfaction.
In addition, our Principal Data Scientists are responsible for engaging with our clients to understand their challenges and build lasting, trusted advisor relationships. They will also oversee multiple, concurrent client deliveries to help ensure quality and drive the sharing of best practice across our engagements and industries.
Role Profile
Our Principal Data Scientists are members of the Data & AI Practice leadership team with the responsibility to develop the capability of the practice to meet business needs and to accelerate the growth of the practice, their account and the wider business.
You will be responsible for the practice and service line-specific delivery elements of your engagement/account as well as a shared ownership for the overall delivery of client outcomes. You will leverage your client and delivery insight to support the account and industry teams to identify opportunities and develop client solutions.
The right person for this role will do this by combining their technical discipline/craft experience, leadership skills and industry network with Made Tech's unparalleled experience of delivering digital services and digital transformation for the Public Sector.

Please note that if at any point during the interview process it is apparent that you may not be eligible for SC, we won't be able to progress your application and we will contact you to let you know why.

We believe we can use tech to make public services better. We also believe this can happen best when our own team represents the society that actually uses the services we work on. We’re collectively continuing to grow a culture that is happy, healthy, safe and inspiring for people of all backgrounds and experiences, so we encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply for roles with us.
When you apply, we’ll put you in touch with a member of our talent team who can help with any needs or adjustments we may need to make to help with your application. We’ve put together this blog as a resource to share more about reasonable adjustments and some examples of what this could include. We also welcome any feedback on how we can improve the experience for future candidates.
We’re committed to building a happy, inclusive and diverse workforce. You can get a sense of what it’s like working here from our blog, where we talk about mental health, communities of practice and neurodiversity (as well as our client work and best practice).
Like many organisations, we use Slack to foster a sense of community and connection. As well as special interest groups such as music, food and pets, we also have 10+ Slack channels dedicated to specific communities, allies, and identities as well as dedicated learning spaces called communities of practice (COPs). If you’d like to speak to someone from one of these groups about their experience as an employee, please do let a member of the Made Tech talent team know.
Benefits
We are always listening to our growing teams and evolving the benefits available to our people. As we scale, as do our benefits and we are scaling quickly.
