  • Translate analytical findings into clear visualisations and actionable recommendations for both business teams and leadership.
  • Champion data literacy and good data practices across the organisation, helping to build a culture that values data as a strategic asset.

[What we are looking for]

  • is proficient in statistical analysis, machine learning, and predictive modelling, with hands-on experience in Python, R, SQL, Spark, and data visualisation platforms like Tableau or Power BI
  • has some experience building machine learning models at scale, including models for risk scoring or fraud detection
  • has some exposure to deploying analytical solutions on enterprise data platforms, cloud platforms like AWS, containerisation tools like Kubernetes, or CI/CD pipelines for scalable deployment
  • is self-driven and can manage data science tasks independently, while being open to guidance from senior team members
  • is proactive and adaptable, comfortable juggling multiple tasks and delivering results in a fast-paced environment
  • enjoys solving complex problems and translating business and regulatory challenges into clear analytical solutions
  • thrives working collaboratively across functions, including with product managers, engineers, and business teams
  • can communicate analytical findings clearly and persuasively to both technical and non-technical audiences

Successful candidates will be offered a 1-year contract with potential for a 1-year extension and consideration for permanent tenure thereafter.
