About the role
The Senior Data Scientist is a senior technical contributor within CF’s Data Innovation team, playing a critical role in the design and delivery of high-impact data science solutions across the healthcare sector. The role sits at the intersection of advanced analytics, healthcare strategy, and client delivery, supporting NHS, life sciences, and health sector clients to improve outcomes, inform decision-making, and create value through data.
Senior Data Scientists work closely with consultants, clients, and other technical specialists to scope, shape, and deliver complex analytical work.
