About Us At Oakland, we help businesses unlock the power of their data. Whether it's data strategy, governance, engineering, analytics, or AI, we work with our clients to turn data into real, impactful results. Our team is made up of friendly, hands on experts who love solving problems and making a difference. We don't just advise, we roll up our sleeves and get stuck in, working alongside our clients every step of the way. Founded in 1986 out of our Leeds HQ, we work with a diverse range of clients across all sorts of industries including Utilities, Telecommunications, Media, Financial Services, Public Sector, and many more! Our projects range from multi year data transformations to specific, shorter term assignments, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to diversify your skillset. We meet high standards for social and environmental impact, transparency, and accountability. We believe businesses should be a force for good, so we make sure our decisions don't just benefit the bottom line but also our people, communities, and the planet. And it's not just us saying we're a great place to work we were recently named a Top 5 Best Consultancy to work for in the UK through Best Companies! We're all about creating an environment where people can grow, do meaningful work, and enjoy the journey. In April 2025, Oakland was acquired by Softcat, a leading provider of IT infrastructure services to corporate and public sectors. By combining Oakland's deep expertise in data and AI consulting with Softcat's extensive portfolio and market presence, we can deliver unparalleled value and innovation to our clients. This partnership marks a significant milestone in our journey, and we're looking forward to achieving great things together. Hybrid working policy: We operate a hybrid working arrangement from our Head Office in Leeds, designed to balance your commitments and preferences with our client's needs. Whilst we support flexible working, we expect our team members to be in the office or with clients at least twice per week. This balance helps us stay connected, learn from each other, and build strong relationships - both within our team and with the businesses we support. The role: As a Data Engineer at Oakland, you'll be at the heart of delivering impactful technical solutions for our clients. No two projects are the same, so you'll work across varied industries, technologies, and project sizes, constantly learning and sharpening your problem solving skills. Our work spans Data Strategy, Management, Data Platforms, AI, and Analytics, and you'll help shape solutions that deliver real business value. We're tech agnostic and client first, choosing the right tools for the job - whether that's leveraging our bespoke platform or partnering with major data platform and engineering providers. You'll be part of a collaborative team of 15+ Data Engineers, with access to shared resources, support, and expertise to help you thrive and grow. What we are looking for: Ideally, you'll be a programmer at heart, and you are excited by the prospect of working across different problems, projects, and clients. At mid level, we expect you to have a good grasp of core concepts of Data Engineering (data structures, databases, data manipulation, ETL, data quality), enabling you to write pipelines of moderate complexity in a consistent style. The technology we use varies between clients, so although we value specialists, we encourage our engineers to become technology polyglots and provide training and mentoring to support you with this. This means an appetite to learn is a must. Our Data Engineers work closely with Oakland clients, so experience working with business stakeholders and understanding commercial objectives is advantageous. The skillset We always pick the right tool for the job so we look for Engineers with a mix (but not all!) of the below: Proficient with one or more programming languages such as: Python, SQL, C#, JavaScript etc. Experience designing and implementing data solutions in the cloud, e.g. Azure (preferred), AWS or GCP. Experience working with and manipulating structured & unstructured data. Experience working with modern data platforms e.g. Fabric, Snowflake, Databricks . Web application design and build. Experience using Data Visualisation tools such as Power BI. An understanding of the broader data ecosystem, including data modelling, DevOps, platform design, and governance, and understand how these intersect with your work. Experience in gathering requirements and using this to design solutions. Client/stakeholder management experience. Benefits that put you first At Oakland, we believe in taking care of our people - both inside and outside of work. Here's what you can expect when you join us: Health & Wellbeing - Enjoy Private Healthcare from day one for you and your household, including dental cover, physiotherapy, mental health support, and access to a range of wellbeing services to keep you feeling your best. Discretionary Bonus - Your hard work won't go unnoticed. When we do well, you'll do well. Generous Pension - We invest in your future with a 10% employer contribution, plus flexible options so you can adjust to your investment preferences. Electric Vehicle Scheme - Drive greener with tax efficient options to get behind the wheel of an electric car. Giving Back - Support causes you care about with our Payroll Giving Scheme and Matched Charitable Giving program. Bike to Work Scheme - Save money, stay active, and enjoy tax savings on a new bike.

hackajob is collaborating with Third Bridge Group to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role. Third Bridge is a leading global research firm established in 2007, with a team of over 1,500 employees worldwide dedicated to fueling decisions with expert insights. We accelerate and enhance decision-making for investors and business leaders by unearthing unique expert insights across multiple sectors, geographies, and topics. For nearly 20 years, we've helped clients access knowledge on demand from experts, in-person and through our Library covering over 65,000 companies. We stand at the cutting edge of technology and investment research, driving innovation to deliver solutions that set new industry standards. We are building a Data Science capability within our Data Architecture function, and are seeking a Data Scientist who combines technical rigour with a prototyping mindset - someone dedicated to proving what's possible with our data and handing those proofs to engineering. About The Role As a Data Scientist at Third Bridge, you will be the engineering-focused prototyping engine within a high-impact data team. Working alongside our senior analytics capability and reporting to the Principal Data Architect, your primary mandate is to design, build, and validate proof-of-concept (PoC) solutions - from new dataset pipelines and ML models to AI-powered internal tools - and hand off successful proofs to the engineering team for production integration. You will work with Third Bridge's rich proprietary data assets: transcripts, events, interaction data, commercial performance metrics, and content derived from tens of thousands of expert interviews. The role gives you the mandate to find new ways to extract value from that data, with the freedom to experiment and the expectation to ship. Key Responsibilities Design and build PoC solutions with a clear 'ship-or-kill' decision framework, defining evaluation criteria upfront so success is measurable, not just qualitative. Build extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL/ELT) pipelines to create net-new datasets for analytical or ML use, including feature engineering pipelines for model training and downstream reporting. Apply supervised and unsupervised ML techniques to commercially relevant problems: usage propensity, client segmentation, churn modelling, content recommendation, and anomaly detection. Develop lightweight Python-based tools and notebook applications that allow business stakeholders to interact with model outputs or curated data extracts. Prototype AI-assisted internal tools - including applications leveraging LLM APIs, embedding-based search, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) - to demonstrate near-term business value from Third Bridge's content assets. Collaborate closely with the analytics peers to align on data definitions, shared datasets, and metric standards that underpin both experimental and production work. Work with the engineering team to define production requirements for successful PoCs, producing clean, well-documented code and architecture notes to support seamless handoff. Advocate upstream for data quality and instrumentation requirements with Product and Engineering, contributing to the team's engineering standards and practices. Essential Qualifications Masters degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a quantitative field such as Economics. Professional experience in a data science, ML engineering, or applied data role. Strong Python programming skills, including hands-on experience with pandas, scikit-learn, and at least one ML or deep learning framework. Working knowledge of Bedrock and other AWS managed services. Demonstrable experience building and deploying at least one end-to-end ML model or data pipeline in a professional setting, with clear evaluation criteria and documented outcomes. A track record of building PoC or prototype solutions and iterating toward production-readiness, with the discipline to define 'ship-or-kill' criteria upfront. Strong version control practices (Git) and familiarity with software engineering workflows including code review and CI/CD awareness. The ability to communicate technical findings and trade-offs clearly to both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders. Qualifications Desired Attributes Exceptional problem-solving instincts and a bias toward shipping: able to make a PoC useful and demonstrable quickly, without over-engineering early-stage solutions. Familiarity with AWS Bedrock or other managed AI/LLM platforms (e.g. OpenAI API, Anthropic API) for building and integrating AI-powered features is a strong plus, though AI capability should complement, not replace, a solid foundation in traditional ML. Experience with NLP, text classification, embedding models, or semantic search, particularly applied to content-rich or document-heavy datasets. Familiarity with building lightweight web applications or data tools such as Streamlit, FastAPI, or Flask, enabling business stakeholders to interact directly with model outputs. Experience with orchestration or transformation tooling such as dbt, Airflow, or Prefect, demonstrating an ability to build reproducible and maintainable pipelines. A tech-agnostic mindset, open to selecting the right tool for each problem - whether that is a classical statistical model, a gradient boosting approach, or an LLM-backed workflow. Exposure to product analytics, B2B SaaS, publishing, or content-rich datasets is a plus. Natural curiosity and a proactive approach to staying current with developments in both traditional ML and generative AI - and bringing relevant ideas back to the team. Excellent collaboration skills, with the instinct to treat the analytics peer and engineering team as partners rather than handoff recipients. How will you be rewarded? We truly care about our people so in return for your work, you'll get: Vacation: 25 days (which increases to 28 days after 2 years of service) plus UK Bank Holidays Learning: personal development allowance of £1000 per year Health and wellbeing: private medical insurance and healthcare cash plan, a variety of health and wellbeing events to focus on mental health, Ride to Work scheme (savings on bikes and accessories) Future and family: pension contributions of 4% (increases with tenure) and life insurance of 4x of your base salary Flexibility: work from anywhere for one month per year, 2 annual volunteer days, 2 personal days when life throws you a curveball and "Summer Fridays" Rewards: get points through our colleague-to-colleague recognition programme to spend on hotels, gift cards, donations to charity and more Social: optional social gatherings, daily breakfast and snacks, social events ESG: CSR, Environment and Diversity & Inclusion (including Women at Third Bridge, Pride and Blkbridge) Frontline Innovation: your chance to share your ideas for improvement through Hackathons and other events Third Bridge values your trust and is committed to the responsible management, use, and protection of personal information. By submitting a Third Bridge job application, I hereby provide Third Bridge (including Third Bridge's affiliates and relevant third-party suppliers) with my consent to collect, store and process my personal information for the purpose of recruitment administration, as well as to share such personal information with third parties for the same purpose, in accordance with the Candidate Privacy Notice. We know that to be truly innovative, we need to have a diverse team around us. That is why Third Bridge is committed to creating an inclusive environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. If you are not 100% sure if you are right for the role, please apply anyway, and we will be happy to consider your application.

Third Bridge is a leading global research firm established in 2007, with a team of over 1,500 employees worldwide dedicated to fueling decisions with expert insights. We accelerate and enhance decision making for investors and business leaders by unearthing unique expert insights across multiple sectors, geographies, and topics. For nearly 20 years, we've helped clients access knowledge on demand from experts, in person and through our Library covering over 65,000 companies. We stand at the cutting edge of technology and investment research, driving innovation to deliver solutions that set new industry standards. We are building a Data Science capability within our Data Architecture function, and are seeking a Data Scientist who combines technical rigour with a prototyping mindset - someone dedicated to proving what's possible with our data and handing those proofs to engineering. About the Role: As a Data Scientist at Third Bridge, you will be the engineering focused prototyping engine within a high impact data team. Working alongside our senior analytics capability and reporting to the Principal Data Architect, your primary mandate is to design, build, and validate proof of concept (PoC) solutions - from new dataset pipelines and ML models to AI powered internal tools - and hand off successful proofs to the engineering team for production integration. You will work with Third Bridge's rich proprietary data assets: transcripts, events, interaction data, commercial performance metrics, and content derived from tens of thousands of expert interviews. The role gives you the mandate to find new ways to extract value from that data, with the freedom to experiment and the expectation to ship. Key Responsibilities: Design and build PoC solutions with a clear 'ship or kill' decision framework, defining evaluation criteria upfront so success is measurable, not just qualitative. Build extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL/ELT) pipelines to create net new datasets for analytical or ML use, including feature engineering pipelines for model training and downstream reporting. Apply supervised and unsupervised ML techniques to commercially relevant problems: usage propensity, client segmentation, churn modelling, content recommendation, and anomaly detection. Develop lightweight Python based tools and notebook applications that allow business stakeholders to interact with model outputs or curated data extracts. Prototype AI assisted internal tools - including applications leveraging LLM APIs, embedding based search, and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) - to demonstrate near term business value from Third Bridge's content assets. Collaborate closely with the analytics peers to align on data definitions, shared datasets, and metric standards that underpin both experimental and production work. Work with the engineering team to define production requirements for successful PoCs, producing clean, well documented code and architecture notes to support seamless handoff. Advocate upstream for data quality and instrumentation requirements with Product and Engineering, contributing to the team's engineering standards and practices. Essential Qualifications: Masters degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a quantitative field such as Economics. Professional experience in a data science, ML engineering, or applied data role. Strong Python programming skills, including hands on experience with pandas, scikit learn, and at least one ML or deep learning framework. Working knowledge of Bedrock and other AWS managed services. Demonstrable experience building and deploying at least one end to end ML model or data pipeline in a professional setting, with clear evaluation criteria and documented outcomes. A track record of building PoC or prototype solutions and iterating toward production readiness, with the discipline to define 'ship or kill' criteria upfront. Strong version control practices (Git) and familiarity with software engineering workflows including code review and CI/CD awareness. The ability to communicate technical findings and trade offs clearly to both technical peers and non technical stakeholders. Desired Attributes: Exceptional problem solving instincts and a bias toward shipping: able to make a PoC useful and demonstrable quickly, without over engineering early stage solutions. Familiarity with AWS Bedrock or other managed AI/LLM platforms (e.g. OpenAI API, Anthropic API) for building and integrating AI powered features is a strong plus, though AI capability should complement, not replace, a solid foundation in traditional ML. Experience with NLP, text classification, embedding models, or semantic search, particularly applied to content rich or document heavy datasets. Familiarity with building lightweight web applications or data tools such as Streamlit, FastAPI, or Flask, enabling business stakeholders to interact directly with model outputs. Experience with orchestration or transformation tooling such as dbt, Airflow, or Prefect, demonstrating an ability to build reproducible and maintainable pipelines. A tech agnostic mindset, open to selecting the right tool for each problem - whether that is a classical statistical model, a gradient boosting approach, or an LLM backed workflow. Exposure to product analytics, B2B SaaS, publishing, or content rich datasets is a plus. Natural curiosity and a proactive approach to staying current with developments in both traditional ML and generative AI - and bringing relevant ideas back to the team. Excellent collaboration skills, with the instinct to treat the analytics peer and engineering team as partners rather than handoff recipients. How will you be rewarded? We truly care about our people so in return for your work, you'll get: Vacation: 25 days (which increases to 28 days after 2 years of service) plus UK Bank Holidays Learning: personal development allowance of £1000 per year Health and wellbeing: private medical insurance and healthcare cash plan, a variety of health and wellbeing events to focus on mental health, Ride to Work scheme (savings on bikes and accessories) Future and family: pension contributions of 4% (increases with tenure) and life insurance of 4x of your base salary Flexibility: work from anywhere for one month per year, 2 annual volunteer days, 2 personal days when life throws you a curveball and 'Summer Fridays' Rewards: get points through our colleague to colleague recognition programme to spend on hotels, gift cards, donations to charity and more Social: optional social gatherings, daily breakfast and snacks, social events ESG: CSR, Environment and Diversity & Inclusion (including Women at Third Bridge, Pride and Blkbridge) Frontline Innovation: your chance to share your ideas for improvement through Hackathons and other events Third Bridge values your trust and is committed to the responsible management, use, and protection of personal information. By submitting a Third Bridge job application, I hereby provide Third Bridge (including Third Bridge's affiliates and relevant third party suppliers) with my consent to collect, store and process my personal information for the purpose of recruitment administration, as well as to share such personal information with third parties for the same purpose, in accordance with Candidate Privacy Notice. We know that to be truly innovative, we need to have a diverse team around us.
