The team
This is a critical roles in the Data Science Team (10DS), offering an unparalleled opportunity to develop your career personally and within the Civil Service. You will work across the Cabinet Office and No10 to ensure all decision making is based on the best available evidence and analysis, typically to timeframes of a few minutes to a few weeks.
Formed in mid-2020, 10DS (‘10 Data Science’), has a remit to radically improve the way in which key decisions are informed by data, analysis and evidence.
We do this though:
i) enabling No10 to utilise the best available evidence, and cutting-edge data science throughout the policy and decision-making process, ensuring that the Prime Minister and staff are intelligent customers of analysis, and embedding a culture of evidence-informed policy
ii) provoking positive change across Central Government, through providing challenge and feedback, and collaborating across Whitehall to drive long-term systems change and collectively solve the most pressing policy challenges.
10DS works closely with the Mission Delivery Unit, a team in Cabinet Office supporting the Chancellor to the Duchy of Lancaster and the Prime Minister in driving forward the government's five missions.
The roles:
We are recruiting expert data scientists to work with 10DS, to work across the Cabinet Office and No10 on critical policy areas and delivery priorities. Current members of the team have provided advice on key decisions related to Transport Infrastructure, Health Policy and achieving Net Zero.
You will design, code and present visually-engaging analysis to inform critical decisions, and ensure that the standard of analytical work is of the highest quality.
You will work closely with departments on their analysis and evidence base relating to the Prime Minister’s priority areas. You will constructively engage across Whitehall, building effective working relationships, and engaging with senior stakeholders to champion the value of data science.
You can also expect to actively engage with, and help set the agenda for, the cross-government data science community. 10DS has a programme of technological development, drawing on capabilities in python and cloud computing.
Main Responsibilities

- Scope and deliver high quality data science and/or engineering directly (i.e. writing code and code review).
- Present analysis and modelling in visually stunning ways that lands with impact.
- Work with data engineers to map, produce, transform and test new data services, drawing on the most appropriate tools and techniques.
- Review policy proposals shared by departments and central government teams, advising on the most appropriate methods and metrics for measuring impact, providing in-depth analysis of the robustness of proposals.
