Data Scientist

The role of Data Scientist at the BBC is hands-on; you'll use your technical skills to deliver value to BBC audiences. We are looking for individuals who value both breadth and depth of knowledge. Data Scientists at the BBC are instrumental in developing machine learning products at BBC scale. You will do so as part of a highly cross-functional team, working together to overcome the challenges of delivering machine learning in production. You'll bring experience of being an effective team contributor, and make use of your knowledge of different machine learning algorithms to solve commercial data science problems relating to BBC products. You'll build an understanding of data science best practices within an agile environment. You'll have the opportunity to get involved with the wider data science community, both at the BBC and externally. We'd love to see enthusiasm about sharing your knowledge with others.

The BBC is committed to redeploying employees seeking suitable alternative employment within the BBC for different reasons and they will be given priority consideration ahead of other applicants. Priority consideration means for those employees seeking redeployment their application will be considered alongside anyone else at risk of redundancy, prior to any individuals being considered who are not at risk. We don't focus simply on what we do – we also care how we do it. Our values and the way we behave are important to us. Please make sure you've read about our values and behaviours here. Diversity matters at the BBC. We have a working environment where we value and respect every individual's unique contribution, enabling all of our employees to thrive and achieve their full potential. We want to attract the broadest range of talented people to be part of the BBC – whether that's to contribute to our programming or our wide range of non-production roles. The more diverse our workforce, the better able we are to respond to and reflect our audiences in all their diversity. We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religion and/or belief. We will consider flexible working requests for all roles, unless operational requirements prevent otherwise.
