What you’ll do

We’re looking for someone to understand the requirements and needs of our business stakeholders. You’ll develop good relationships with them, form hypotheses, and identify suitable data and analytics solutions to meet their needs and to achieve our business strategy.

You’ll be working on the development and maintenance of a suite of cash flow and behavioural models, evaluating and improving business processes using scientific rigour and statistical methods. You’ll be supporting and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams of data engineers and analysts focusing on financial modelling, portfolio analysis and product profitability for pricing and strategy.

You’ll also be responsible for:

  • Proactively bringing together statistical, mathematical, machine-learning and software engineering skills to consider multiple solutions, techniques, and algorithms
  • Implementing ethically sound models end-to-end and applying software engineering and a product development lens to complex business problems

  • Using your data translation skills to work closely with business stakeholders to define business questions, problems or opportunities that can be supported through advanced analytics
  • Selecting, building, training, and testing complex machine models, considering model valuation, model risk, governance, and ethics throughout to implement and scale models

The skills you’ll need

To be successful in this role, you’ll need evidence of project implementation and work experience gained in a data-analysis-related field as part of a multi-disciplinary team. We’ll also expect you to hold an undergraduate or a master’s degree in a quantitative discipline, or evidence of equivalent practical experience.

You’ll also need experience with statistical software, database languages, big data technologies, cloud environments and machine learning on large data sets. And we’ll look to you to bring the ability to demonstrate leadership, self-direction and a willingness to both teach others and learn new techniques.

Additionally, you’ll need:

  • Experience of deploying machine learning models into a production environment
  • Experience of articulating and translating business questions and using statistical techniques to arrive at an answer using available data
  • Effective verbal and written communication skills and the ability to adapt communication style to a specific audience
