You'll communicate your findings and insight to the client, getting involved in presentations to uncover the "story" the data is telling, and therefore what action can be taken.

This role would be well-suited to someone who has experience (or is keen to get experience) in a client-facing environment, and who enjoys the challenge of working on technically demanding and diverse projects.

Requirements

1. Experience leading on data science projects
2. Experience working on cloud-based infrastructure e.g. Azure, AWS, GCP
3. Extensive coding skills in such as Python and SQL
4. Experience working with various forms of data (e.g. structured, unstructured; text, time-series and image) and appropriately modelling these
5. Experience with various statistical-based techniques to uncover data insight
6. Experience with Data Engineering e.g. building data pipelines
7. Experience developing machine learning algorithms
8. Excellent communication and requirements gathering skills
9. Eligibility for SC Clearance

Benefits

1. Salary up to £75,000 depending on experience
2. Discretionary bonus
3. 5% pension
4. Training budget allowance
5. Flexible working hours
