Due to continued growth, my client is seeking an experienced Data Scientist to join their team.
You should have a passion for building and developing business relationships and be willing to take on new challenges and input to the company’s growth.
It is a generalist data role requiring a broad skillset; it is not a specialist role focused on modelling or prediction problems.

• Perform analyses on large data sets to extract actionable insights which can inform strategy for entire orgs.
• Partner with multiple stakeholder teams across marketing, product, engineering, sales and finance to identify analytics opportunities and advise on best practices relating to data.

• Understand behaviour of our clients and end-users, identify new opportunities to move key metrics, build models for user behaviour, and run experiments to determine the value of new or existing products.
• Define KPIs and create self-service dashboards for internal teams to easily access the information they need.
• Communicate data insights and recommendations to non-technical audiences through clear writing, visualisations and narratives. Insights and research will always be reproducible and easily digested (dashboards, notebooks etc).

Requirements
• 2+ years experience helping teams make impactful decisions with data.
• Ability to identify analytics opportunities, initiate projects and drive them to completion with minimal guidance.

• Experience with data visualisation and BI tools (Looker, Tableau, etc).
• Strong statistical programming ability in Python, R, or any similar language.

Desirable
• BA/BS in Computer Science, Math, Physics, Engineering, Statistics or other technical field.
• Experience designing, monitoring and analysing A/B tests and implementing new frameworks for running them.
• Experience with machine learning applications in a professional setting, particularly clustering techniques, regression and feature engineering.
• Familiarity with database design and data engineering concepts.
• Experience working in data roles at technology companies or high growth start ups.
