About Phaidon International

Established in London in 2004, Phaidon International was founded with the ambition to deliver talent solutions backed by deep industry expertise. Since then, we have consistently ranked among the fastest-growing recruitment firms globally and are currently the 10th largest direct-hire agency in the world.

We partner with a wide range of businesses - from Fortune 500 companies to venture-backed start-ups - to deliver the right talent for mission-critical roles. Operating through global hubs, our consultants offer localised knowledge combined with international reach, helping clients navigate regional complexities and achieve both immediate and long-term hiring goals.

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Data Scientist to own forecasting and revenue analytics. The successful candidate will work with direct access to C-suite leadership, taking full ownership of the model lifecycle - from problem framing and data engineering through to production deployment and ongoing monitoring. This is a role for someone who ships, iterates, and measures impact.

Key Responsibilities

Build and maintain forecasting models across revenue, headcount, and market activity
Own end-to-end model deployment from development through to cloud-hosted production
Partner with Finance, Sales, and Operations to translate commercial questions into well-scoped data problems
Integrate LLM and RAG capabilities where they add measurable value -summarising unstructured data, augmenting analyst workflows, and accelerating reporting
Maintain clean, documented, and reproducible code and set a high standard across the function
Proactively surface insights and flag emerging issues without prompting

What We’re Looking For

Hands-on data science or machine learning experience, preferably in a commercial or revenue context
Python and SQL fluency, with a demonstrated ability to build and ship usable end-toend solutions
A proven track record of end-to-end model ownership, not limited to experimentation or prototyping
Experience with at least one major cloud platform
Hands-on experience with LLM or RAG pipelines - including self-directed or independent projects outside of a formal work setting
Self-sufficient and resourceful; comfortable building and iterating without close oversight or a large supporting team
A strong portfolio of shipped work matters more than an advanced degree.

Why Join Phaidon International

Direct access to C-suite leadership and substantive business problems
A data function with real scope to shape
A fast iteration culture with short cycles from build to deployment
A business that is outperforming the market and investing seriously in its next phase of growth
