Closing date: 8th of March, 2024

*Data Science, Belfast*

*****About Axiom:*

Axiom is a recognized leader in the business of law, and defined the "alternative legal services" category over 20 years ago. While not a law firm, Axiom would rank among the top 10 big law firms by number of lawyers employed.

Axiom manages a diverse global network of legal professionals that are matched to engagements with Axiom's prestigious clients using a bespoke technology platform. While Axiom has made progress to automate this matchmaking process using machine learning, the vast majority of matches are still made manually by Axiom staff.

Axiom is ready to transition from manual to automated matchmaking by pioneering technologies within the machine learning space. Using NLP and other data extraction, Axiom seeks to build out the capability to identify the best talent for roles at the right time. Pulling information out of the vast database of Talent and Client preferences, Axiom believes it can provide best in class experiences to the broad Axiom Talent Network.

To enable this transformation, Axiom's Research & Development department is adding to our newly formed Data Science team. This is your opportunity to join early stages of Axiom's data science journey and help chart the course of Axiom's future.
