AD/Director - Data Scientist – Shape the Future of Tech Led Businesses

Associate Director/Director of Data Science sought by this fascinating consultancy that helps the world’s leading technology-led companies understand the interactions between people and the technology they use in everyday life.

The Company

This medium-sized consultancy has its heritage in anthropology, business consultancy, digital product development, data, and design. They have experienced strong growth in their data science division and seek to add an AD or Director to the team.

Their focus is on helping technology-led businesses invent better futures by creating products, services, and business models that drive sustainable growth. They use a combination of social and data science to give their clients a foundational understanding of the world, their customers, and their organizations. The data science team interrogates client data (big data), surveys, and social data to garner rich insights that clients can implement to grow their offers and business.

The Role

Due to continued growth, our client is looking to add a senior leader to the team. You will work closely with the head of the division in this leadership role.

To succeed, you should have exceptional knowledge of data science methods and tools, with experience working with both big data and survey data. Proficiency in coding with R or Python and knowledge of SQL are essential, along with excellent statistical knowledge. Your judgment will be crucial in applying the right methods to solve specific problems.

You will take on project, area, and team leadership responsibilities and play an instrumental role in developing their social and data science integration. You will lead client projects and mentor less experienced team members.

The tools and methods enable them to advise and consult with clients; therefore, you should be able to translate analysis into compelling insights that clients understand clearly.

You will add credibility to a friendly and dynamic team and join a company that supports your goals and aspirations.

If producing impactful, insight-driven work with the potential to change how millions of people understand and interact with technology excites you, we would love to hear from you to tell you more.
