About the Role

We are building a new R&D capability focused on developing data-driven and AI-enabled products for legal services and the wider business of law. The Junior Data Scientist will work within R&D alongside the Data Programme to build foundational data capabilities that make priority firm data usable for R&D products, AI applications and wider firm use. This is an early-career role for someone with strong analytical fundamentals who enjoys exploring unfamiliar data, asking what else might be possible, and communicating useful findings clearly. You will support senior R&D, Data Programme and AI colleagues while taking meaningful ownership of exploratory data analysis, data profiling, analytical prototyping and the measurement of data and AI products. You will join a small, hands-on multidisciplinary team working collaboratively across discovery, prototyping, engineering, productionisation and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities

Profile and explore internal and external datasets, identifying data-quality issues, missingness, outliers, patterns, relationships and potential sources of bias or leakage.
Use SQL and Python to prepare and validate analytical datasets, build reproducible analyses and create clear visualisations and summaries.
Form and test hypotheses; identify where further data, enrichment, analysis or modelling could create additional value.
Support the development and evaluation of baseline statistical and machine-learning models.
Assist with text analysis, information extraction, embeddings, similarity analysis and the evaluation of AI-assisted features.
Help prepare datasets, test cases and measurement frameworks for AI and data products.
Work with Data Programme engineers and data stewards to understand source data, document assumptions, define useful metrics and improve data quality and usability.
Use Git, notebooks, tests and documentation to make analyses reproducible and ready for peer review.
Use AI agents and assistants responsibly to speed up data exploration, coding and documentation, while checking every result and maintaining independent analytical judgement.
Engage constructively with lawyers and business colleagues, translating questions into practical analysis and explaining conclusions in accessible language.

Requirements

An excellent academic record, including a minimum of an MSc or an equivalent Master's degree in data science, statistics, mathematics, computer science, economics, engineering or a closely related quantitative discipline.
Strong Python and SQL fundamentals, including pandas or comparable data-analysis tools and the ability to work with relational data.
Sound grasp of descriptive statistics, exploratory analysis, data visualisation, hypothesis testing and the basics of supervised and unsupervised machine learning.
Evidence of hands-on analytical work through internships, research, coursework, personal projects or an early-career role.
Ability to reason carefully about data quality, sample selection, missingness, bias, correlation versus causation and uncertainty.
Familiarity with Git, notebooks, reproducible analysis and basic testing or code-review practices, together with an interest in building reusable data assets rather than one-off analysis.
Proficiency with AI agents and analytical assistants, with a disciplined approach to validation, data confidentiality and explaining how conclusions were reached.
