TEAM

Having built most of the existing Marketing Sciences function, we can vouch for the exceptional quality of talent this agency has managed to attract; not just because of the complexity of data science projects on offer, but also because of the vision of their Marketing Sciences Director. He is passionate about training and development and has built a strong culture of collaboration and innovation. Every single person we’ve placed, LOVES their job and more importantly, LOVES their team!

We want Hackers, Data Scientist leaders who can add value through bleeding edge techniques and methodologies, all whilst applying an acute commercial and strategic lens.

You will possibly have a data engineering edge to your experience, will be highly proficient in cloud based technologies, maybe you’ve used some special analytical techniques such as gravity modelling or catchment analysis, even worked with geospatial data….we want to hear from you! 

Advanced programming skills in Python are required, as well as an all round problem solving approach.

You will present simple and compelling solutions to complex client problems. You should be highly skilled in the latest data science techniques in order to deliver best in class machine learning and AI methodologies and approaches.

Skills and experience required:

• Educated to degree level in a numerate subject; Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Economics, Machine Learning, Computer Science etc.
• A background in data science; (possibly) data engineering, (definitely) machine learning and AI, ideally within a marketing environment
• Strong programming experience with either Python AND SQL as a minimum
• Experience of working with cloud based platforms such as Azure, AWS or GCP
• Ability to gather and scope requirements for a variety of analytical projects
