Own the analytical approach and ensure conclusions are defensible. Lead development of both traditional statistical and modern AI-powered analyses -including regression, classification, clustering, causal inference, A/B testing, and modern deep learning approaches using embeddings, transformer architectures, and foundation models for text, time-series, and multimodal analysis. Build predictive and prescriptive models that drive business decisions-customer segmentation, churn prediction, demand forecasting, pricing optimization, risk scoring, and operational efficiency analysis for commercial enterprises. Translate complex analytical findings into actionable insights -create compelling data narratives, develop executive-ready presentations, and communicate technical results to non-technical stakeholders in ways that drive decisions. Serve as a trusted advisor to clients -build long-standing partnerships, deeply understand business problems, formulate the right analytical questions, and deliver insights that create measurable value. Contribute to practice development -participate in business development activities, develop reusable analytical frameworks and methodologies, and help shape the technical direction of Huron's DSML capabilities.# Required Qualifications 5+ years of hands-on experience conducting data science and advanced analytics -not just ad-hoc analysis, but structured analytical projects that drove business decisions. You've framed problems, developed hypotheses, analyzed data, and delivered insights that created measurable impact.

Demonstrated ability to build high-performing teams and develop junior talent. Strong Python and SQL programming skills with deep experience in the data science ecosystem (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, statsmodels, visualization libraries). Comfortable writing production-quality code, not just notebooks. Solid foundation in statistics and machine learning : hypothesis testing, regression analysis, classification, clustering, experimental design, causal inference, and understanding of when different approaches are appropriate for different questions. Experience with deep learning and modern neural architectures -understanding of transformer models, embeddings, transfer learning, and how to leverage foundation models for analytical tasks. You know when ML approaches add value over classical methods, and how to integrate them into rigorous analytical workflows.

You're comfortable working with large datasets and can optimize queries for performance. Exceptional communication and data storytelling skills -ability to distill complex analyses into clear narratives, create compelling visualizations, lead client meetings, and build trusted relationships with executive audiences.

We're working with a fast-growing B2C healthcare retailer to hire a Customer Service/Experience Manager at a key stage of their journey. This is a transformation role, focused on evolving a reactive support function into a proactive, efficient, and tech-enabled customer success operation. You'll take ownership of the end-to-end customer experience while leading a team of 6 remote support agents. Alongside managing escalations, your focus will be on improving how the function operates; introducing better processes, optimising tools like Zendesk, and implementing automation and AI to reduce manual workload and improve customer engagement. The goal is to build a function that not only supports customers but actively drives retention, efficiency, and growth. This role sits at the centre of the business, working closely with operations, logistics, and product teams to ensure a seamless customer journey. You'll act as the voice of the customer internally, using data and insight to identify trends, improve service delivery, and influence decision-making. The position is hybrid, with an expectation of four days a week in the office to begin with, with flexibility to move to three days over time. We're looking for someone with experience in customer success or support who brings a strong operational mindset and is comfortable working in a high-volume environment. You should be confident in implementing new systems or processes and ideally have had exposure to automation or AI within a customer function. Backgrounds in B2C businesses, particularly retail or companies selling physical products at scale, are especially relevant, though we're open to broader experience. Any exposure to healthcare or regulated environments would be a bonus. This opportunity would suit someone who is hands-on, pragmatic, and commercially aware-either a step-up candidate ready to take ownership or an experienced operator who enjoys building and improving functions in a scaling business. If you're interested in shaping a customer success function and using technology to drive smarter, more efficient ways of working, we'd love to hear from you. Zero Surplus is one of the UK's premier recruitment agencies, based just outside Cambridge our recruiters source staff for small and international businesses across the South of England.
