About The Role
In the Data Science team, we work collaboratively with teams across the organisation to create and evolve end-to-end solutions that have Data Science at their core. From sports modelling to product personalisation, our team thrives on unleashing the power of data to improve the quality, speed and complexity of the decisions and actions they drive. Our models not only power many of the products our customers get to enjoy, but they also take many of our internal processes to the next level.
Reporting into the Data Science Lead, this role will work in the customer/marketing team and will involve building and continuously improving data science models and ML-driven customer-facing products for promo optimisation. Not only do we innovate with product, but also in the way we build, develop, deploy and maintain our solutions and how we leverage evolving platforms partnerships.

* Work with technology teams to conceptualise and design solutions that are maintainable, robust and resilient.
* Contribute to designing ways to test, track and communicate the ongoing impact of the solutions we deliver.
Key requirements:
* Experience with conceiving, designing, building, deploying and monitoring machine learning models, with an excellent eye for detail
* Commercially minded – track record of unlocking data to drive commercial value
* Broad knowledge of statistical and computational methods for identifying patterns, extracting insights, and making predictions from complex datasets.
* Strong programming skills (e.g. proficient in Python, R etc, with experience in Spark and Databricks a plus)
* Degree in a quantitative discipline (e.g. Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science)
