About this role

Data Scientist, Manager  Location: Belfast *closing date 20th November 2026*   About Axiom Axiom is a recognized leader in the business of law and defined the alternative legal services category more than 20 years ago. While not a law firm, Axiom would rank among the top 10 big law firms by number of lawyers employed.  Axiom manages a diverse global network of legal professionals matched to engagements with Axiom's prestigious clients using a bespoke technology platform. While Axiom has made progress automating this matchmaking process using machine learning, the vast majority of matches are still made manually by Axiom staff.    The role Axiom is looking for a Data Scientist, Manager to define and build innovative AI, machine learning, and statistical solutions that optimize our bespoke legal talent matchmaking platform. Working in a fast-paced environment where most matches are currently done manually, you will bridge the gap between complex data and business outcomes—challenging the status quo to improve Client, Talent, and internal user experiences.  Specifically, This Role Will  <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Design & Build: Develop advanced AI, ML, and statistical solutions that capture business/customer insights and drive core operational outcomes. </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">Collaborate & Guide: Partner cross-functionally with engineers and product managers while providing technical and scientific guidance to team members. </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1">Iterate & Experiment: Continuously interrogate, experiment with, and improve new and existing ML solutions across the platform. </li> </ul>   About you: <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="4" data-aria-level="1">Technical & Data Fundamentals: Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field; 3+ years of SQL proficiency; and 2+ years of experience in data modeling, ETL development, data warehousing, and software engineering best practices (version control, CI/CD, object-oriented programming). </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="5" data-aria-level="1">Statistical & Machine Learning Modeling: 2+ years of hands-on experience in statistical analysis (hypothesis testing, experimental design) in Python, and machine learning modeling (development, validation, optimization in Python). </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="6" data-aria-level="1">NLP & Generative AI Expertise: 2+ years researching and developing Natural Language processing projects, including 1+ year incorporating Large Language Models and Agentic AI. </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="7" data-aria-level="1">End-to-End Project Ownership: 2+ years independently leading projects through the full lifecycle—from stakeholder requirement gathering and scoping through proof-of-concept to fully deployed solutions, reporting, and dashboarding. </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="8" data-aria-level="1">Stakeholder Management & Autonomy: Strong relationship-building skills with high technical acumen, capable of communicating complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and working autonomously while balancing multiple cross-functional priorities. </li> </ul>   Preferred Qualifications  <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="9" data-aria-level="1">Master's or PhD in computer science, machine learning, mathematics, statistics, or another quantitative field.<span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":80,"335559740":269,"335559991&quo
