Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the end-to-end delivery of advanced analytics and machine learning initiatives.
  • Collaborate across departments to understand challenges and translate them into data-driven solutions.
  • Build and maintain data pipelines that support model development and deployment at scale.
  • Communicate analytical findings to senior stakeholders in a clear, commercial way.
  • Champion innovation - keeping the team up to speed with the latest tools, frameworks, and techniques in data science and AI.
  • Develop and mentor team members, fostering a high-performing and collaborative environment.

Skills & Experience

  • Strong background in developing and deploying machine learning or deep learning models in production.
  • Skilled in Python and SQL, with experience using frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch (R experience a plus).
  • Excellent understanding of statistics, mathematics, and model evaluation.
  • Proven ability to translate data outputs into business insight and influence decision-making.
  • Degree-qualified (BSc, MSc or PhD) in a quantitative discipline.
  • Demonstrated leadership skills with experience managing technical teams.

Who You Are

You're a problem-solver who enjoys seeing ideas come to life. You combine technical depth with strategic thinking and can lead from the front - building solutions that make a genuine impact. You thrive in a data-first culture and want to shape how AI supports the business over the next decade.
