• Build robust, scalable technical solutions 

• Create an open, collaborative culture 

• Invest in learning and long‑term careers 

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist with strong expertise in machine learning, advanced analytics, and statistical modelling to design and deliver data-driven solutions that generate measurable business impact. 

The role focuses on translating complex business challenges into analytical and AI-driven solutions, developing robust machine learning models, and communicating insights effectively to stakeholders. Working closely with clients, architects, and data engineers, you will leverage modern cloud-based data and AI platforms to deliver scalable analytics, machine learning, and Generative AI capabilities that support strategic decision-making. 

Responsibilities

• Translate business problems into analytical solutions, identifying opportunities for predictive modelling, optimisation, and data-driven decision-making  

• Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models using techniques such as classification, regression, clustering, and forecasting  

• Leverage LLM analytical capabilities by engineering prompts to securely hosted AI models  

• Apply statistical methods and experimentation techniques (hypothesis testing, A/B testing) to validate models and insights  

• Conduct exploratory data analysis (EDA) to quantify data asset value, identify patterns, trends, and key drivers within large datasets  

• Engineer features and prepare datasets to improve model performance and robustness  

• Evaluate and optimize models using appropriate metrics, cross-validation, and tuning strategies  

• Ensure model explainability and interpretability, communicating results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders  

• Design and implement MLOps practices including model versioning, monitoring, and retraining strategies  

• Collaborate with data engineers to access, prepare, and scale datasets from cloud platforms   

• Present insights and recommendations through compelling storytelling and data visualisation (MI/BI)  

• Contribute to the design of analytics and AI solutions, focusing on delivering business value rather than infrastructure  

• Engage with stakeholders and clients during discovery, experimentation, and solution design phases 

Requirements

• 5 years’ working as a senior data scientist or engineer delivering DS, ML or Advanced Analytics.  

• 2 years’ working with GCP data technologies.  

• Hands-on experience with:  

• Machine Learning techniques (regression, classification, clustering, time series, etc.)  

• Statistical analysis and modeling with production deployments  

• End-to-end ML lifecycle (data preparation, modeling, evaluation, deployment, monitoring)  

• Model performance tuning and validation techniques  

• SQL skills and experience working with large datasets  

• Demonstrable, proven ability to elicit, analyse, and document requirements and processes.   

• Demonstrable, proven ability with applied data techniques including identification, pipelining/ETL, curation, chunking, modelling, data quality, cataloguing, lineage, package deployment.   

• Hands-on experience with Agile methodologies and active participation in Agile ceremonies (e.g., sprint planning, retrospectives, backlog grooming).   

• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and own activities within a multidisciplinary team.   

• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail with the ability to work independently and make pragmatic decisions  

• Ability to communicate complex analytical concepts clearly to business stakeholders  

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, changing environment.  

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field 

Preferred Skills (Nice to Have)

• Experience with Generative AI, prompt engineering, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), or Agentic AI solutions. 

• Experience working within Banking, Financial Services or Insurance is highly preferred. 

• Experience working with Vertex AI, Gemini, BigQuery ML, or similar cloud-native AI services. 

• Familiarity with MLOps frameworks and production model monitoring practices. 

• Experience with data governance, cataloguing, lineage, or metadata management solutions. 

• Exposure to data visualisation and BI platforms such as Looker or Power BI. 

• Experience participating in client workshops, discovery sessions, or solution design activities. 

• Relevant certifications in Data Science, Machine Learning, AI, or Google Cloud technologies. 

Key Tools & Technologies

• GCP Data & AI Components 

• Dataflow  

• Dataproc  

• BigQuery & ML 

• Dataplex & Catalogue 

• Looker 

• Vertex AI Agents & Search  

• Gemini 

• Miro, Figma 

• Python, SQL
