Job Summary

Imperial College Health Partners (ICHP) is seeking an experienced Principal Data Scientist to provide senior technical leadership across our growing real-world evidence (RWE) portfolio. We are seeking someone who can build a QA/QC and technical assurance framework from first principles–anchored in strong data architecture and process–to enable the delivery of top-tier, defensible analytical products.

Information Before Interview

We understand that you may wish to discuss the role and organisation with the recruiting manager and/or those who work here as part of the preparation for your application. To enable this, and as part of our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, rather than offer individual calls, a webinar has been scheduled for Tuesday, 26th May via this link: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/386701654070218?p=to9tT0HknjfpnJijL4which will enable all prospective applicants to join and ask any questions they may have at the same time. This webinar will be recorded and can be shared with applicants who may not be able to make the scheduled time and date.

Should any specific questions be felt not to be appropriate for the webinar as they are in relation to individual/personal circumstances, they can be submitted via email to the recruiting manager in advance of the webinar.

Main duties of the job

In this role, you will act as a senior technical authority, shaping and assuring complex analytical work that informs decision-making across health systems, research, and innovation partners. You will lead the development of analytical and data engineering standards, support the evolution of ICHP’s RWE offer, and provide hands-on technical input to priority and high-risk projects. For example, large-scale linkage of NHS data with non-healthcare sources (e.g. HMRC or Department for Education datasets), and the development or evaluation of machine-learning models intended to inform clinical or operational decision-making. These projects require advanced governance, reproducibility, explainability, and senior technical assurance to ensure defensible, regulator-ready outputs.

This is a specialist role without formal line management responsibility, operating through expertise, credibility, and collaboration. You will work closely with the Associate Director of Strategy & Insights and the Senior Quantitative Insights Manager (RWE), influencing how real-world data is used safely, rigorously, and effectively to improve population health.

We welcome applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience delivering high-quality analytics in regulated environments such as healthcare, academia, the public sector, or other data-intensive industries.
