DATA SCIENCE JOBS FAQs

Typical data science salaries in Dublin range from €80,000-€120,000 per annum. More advanced roles, such as a lead data scientist, can command up to six-figure salaries, depending on the scope of the role and the size of the organisation. 

A data science or math-related degree could be very useful but is not a necessity. Provable experience and a commitment to continued professional development are increasingly important to employers. While many data scientists have experience as data analysts or statisticians, others may have backgrounds in business or economics. 

Data scientists should show they are dedicated to developing their technical skillsets around data visualisation and reporting, statistics, machine learning, coding languages like Python, and database management. This could be achieved by undertaking self-learning courses from reputable industry bodies. 

Data-driven experts are highly sought after. Data is powering the world around us and is an essential part of growth plans across most industries and functions, including marketing, R&D and the development of emerging technology.  

Almost all organisations have a need for optimised data; many mid-sized to large organisations require in-house data professionals, as well as smaller organisations that are data-centric.
