- Communicating progress and resulting models with the business,
- Working with the business to use the developed model, and
- Monitoring of maintenance of models, including further development when necessary.

The Associate Data Scientist will use the following tools/languages when developing ML models: Python, Databricks platform, MLFlow model registry, various Python ML libraries (e.g. scikit-learn, TensorFlow), PySpark for distributed processing, Git for version control, SQL for ad-hoc queries. This role will give the opportunity to upskill while contributing valuable insights and new tools to the business.

- Some experience of developing machine learning models (e.g. supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, deep learning, etc.), from collecting, cleaning, and understanding the data to building models and assessing accuracy.
- Experience using Python (ideally, or similar language like R) to work with data and build machine learning models.
- Experience of any other tools or languages listed above is beneficial.
- Any experience working with large quantities of data and developing efficient algorithms for machine learning is also beneficial.
