About the role

Do you want to play a role in making London safer through the generation and effective use of data science and analysis? We’re recruiting multiple roles to create a new Data Science team within the MOPAC Evidence & Insight function.

The Mayor’s Office for Policing And Crime (MOPAC) is the organisation through which the Mayor of London exercises his role as the Police and Crime Commissioner for London and is led by the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime. MOPAC undertakes a broad range of statutory duties and works closely with the Mayor of London, Deputy Mayor and Metropolitan Police Service to deliver the priorities that will create safer London communities. 

Working within MOPAC, Evidence & Insight is the dedicated in-house analytics team consisting of experienced analysts and researchers conducting performance analytics, social research and public opinion surveys, all for the purpose of best supporting MOPAC and ensuring evidence is at the centre of policy to make London safer. Read more about the team here . 

As a Data Scientist at MOPAC, you will be working working under the guidance of the Principal and Senior Data Scientists within the Evidence and Insight Team. You will apply data science techniques to provide actionable insights, and contribute to expert support in specialized areas within the E&I technical landscape and collaborate with stakeholders to promote data science usage. In addition to core responsibilities, you will support the execution of a strategic data science program, select and apply different analytical methodologies, contribute to designing data dashboards and scenario planning functionality for external and internal stakeholders.

Selected responsibilities would include:

Expertise in data science techniques and capabilities (i.e., data mining, visualisation, predictive analysis, statistics, time series, large language models, geospatial analytics).

Ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team. Knowledge of Data Science and interest in learning about a variety of techniques (i.e. data mining, predictive analysis, statistics, time series, large language models, geospatial analytics). Proficiency in coding with SQL, Python or R, with the ability to manipulate and analyse data efficiently.

Ensuring data science is a key aspect within MOPAC decision making in terms of oversight of the MPS, but also other areas where appropriate.

Fluent in Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

This post is ideally suited to someone who is a curious, flexible thinker, with excellent statistical, technical and interpersonal skills. If you are passionate about using data for the benefit of all Londoners, apply today.
