Frontier Economics
London
Frontier Economics is an economics consultancy that tackles the big questions facing governments, businesses and society. We help our clients to analyse and understand their markets and to formulate strategies based on sound economics.

We advise across sectors and countries and we are one of the largest economic consultancies in Europe with more than 350 Economists based in our offices in Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Cologne, Dublin, London, Madrid, Paris and Prague. Owned entirely by our staff, our business attracts the best people and the most interesting work. We go beyond the numbers to find out what's really going on. Our clients enjoy objective advice, clearly expressed. With our help, they make better decisions and get better results.

Data Science at Frontier

Working with our economists, our Data Science team use cutting-edge analytical methods and tools, including generative AI, machine learning and many more. We provide convincing, evidence-based analysis to management teams, government and competition authorities. Our data scientists mine large and complex data sources, explain causal relationships and deliver compelling visualisations and dashboards, whilst also guiding clients on how to think strategically about how they can exploit their data.

About the role

Our Junior Data Scientist role is part of our graduate intake. You'll contribute to projects across sectors, supported by training, mentoring and a graduate buddy. Roles typically commence in September/October 2026.

  • Managing your time and workload to deliver consistently good work under competing demands.
  • Building day-to-day client relationships and tailor outputs to different audiences.
  • Contributing to the life of the firm through our values: Open, Interesting, Profitable and Fun.
What you'll get out of it

  • Training, mentoring and on-the-job learning in a collaborative team.
  • Experience delivering data science projects in a consulting environment using industry standard approaches (Git/GitHub, coding standards and QA).
  • Opportunities to source and assess data, trial innovative methods and work with large, complex datasets.
  • Continued development in explaining data science concepts to non-technical audiences.
