The Senior Data Scientist will use advanced analytics, machine learning and experimentation to support Tesco Mobile’s commercial and customer objectives. The role typically requires strong experience in Python, SQL, statistical modelling and machine-learning techniques, together with the ability to work confidently with large and complex datasets. Experience in customer analytics, telecommunications, retail or other high-volume consumer businesses is valuable. The successful candidate is expected to turn business questions into practical data solutions, communicate findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders, mentor colleagues and help shape data-science best practice. Strong problem-solving, commercial awareness, collaboration and an understanding of responsible data use are also important.
Tesco is one of the United Kingdom’s largest retailers, serving millions of customers through supermarkets, convenience stores and online channels. Founded in 1919, the company sells food, household goods, clothing and financial and mobile services. Tesco Mobile is a major part of its wider customer proposition and operates through a partnership with O2, offering mobile phones, contracts, SIM-only plans and related services. Tesco employs a large workforce across stores, offices, distribution centres and technology teams. Its business relies increasingly on data, digital platforms and personalised customer experiences, creating opportunities in analytics, software engineering, product, operations and commercial functions. Employees may benefit from colleague discounts, pension schemes, flexible working arrangements and other company programmes, although specific terms depend on the role and location.
The United Kingdom offers strong opportunities in data science, technology, retail, telecommunications, finance, healthcare and logistics, with major employment centres in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds. British culture is generally diverse and informal, with a strong emphasis on punctuality, personal privacy and professional communication. Lifestyle options range from busy city living to quieter coastal and rural communities, supported by extensive public transport and the National Health Service. Weather is changeable, and housing costs vary considerably, with London and parts of southeast England being the most expensive. Non-UK nationals normally need an appropriate visa, such as the Skilled Worker route, and the employer must generally hold a sponsor licence. Applicants should check salary thresholds, occupation eligibility and immigration requirements before accepting an offer. Relocating involves arranging accommodation, a National Insurance number, banking, tax registration and healthcare access.
