  • Modelling expertise: Strong foundations in statistical modelling, machine learning, and data wrangling, with hands-on experience in production-grade model development
  • Cloud and big data: Experience working with cloud-based data platforms (e.g. GCP, AWS, Azure) and familiarity with big data technologies
  • Communication skills: Demonstrated ability to communicate complex analytical findings to non-technical audiences in a clear and engaging way
  • Collaborative approach: Experience working in cross-functional teams and managing relationships with internal and external stakeholders
  • Academic background: A degree in a quantitative discipline such as mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering, or a related field
  • Domain experience: Experience in retail, financial services, health, or a related industry is advantageous; familiarity with MLOps practices is a plus
