Chomping at the bit to step into management?

We are looking for someone to bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team in data science and advanced predictive modelling techniques including NLP, machine learning and statistical modelling. You will be an advocate for data science and what this looks like both internally and externally, with clients across finance, retail, media, automotive and technology – some of the biggest brands in the world!

You will be intellectually curious, dynamic and highly personable with a solutions focused approach to your work. Your work is varied, so the ability to flex and adapt depending on the projects at hand is key. You will have strong programming skills using R and/or Python as well as SQL and ideally have skills in managing people or at least a desire to manage a team (training will be provided). Ultimately, we are looking for someone who’s looking for that next step into management and role which offers them a chance to really own something, and grow this.
