Why This Role Exists

This company is growing fast and data is now at the centre of how decisions are made.

Who This Is For

This role is intentionally junior.

You might be :

• A graduate in data, maths, computer science, or a related field
• Self-taught with personal or portfolio projects
• A career-changer with strong analytical skills
• Currently in an analyst role and wanting to move into data science

If you’re curious, logical, and enjoy problem-solving, you’ll fit.

Skills That Help (But Aren’t Deal-Breakers)

• Python or R
• Basic statistics or machine learning concepts

If you don’t tick every box, apply anyway. Training is part of the role.
