We're a disability confident employer and we'll do all we can to help with your application. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That's why we support you to pursue a career that's unique to you. Because success is personal.

What you'll be doing

As part of the Pricing team, you'll contribute to commercial pricing analysis, bespoke pricing, in-contract reconciliations, cost stack reporting, pricing policy oversight, and pricing system maintenance with a focus on automating key processes.

You’ll provide technical oversight of data science outputs, interacting with stakeholders across the business to design robust statistical and machine learning models and tools. Working hands‑on, you’ll develop and deploy models and pipelines, monitor performance, and define data requirements.

Qualifications

You hold a Master’s degree in a data‑relevant field such as Maths, Statistics, Data Science, Engineering or Psychology and have experience in data science in a commercial environment, and have demonstrated leadership in that role. With experience in relevant coding languages (Python or R), you’re curious, innovative and commercially minded, turning data into clear, actionable insights. You bring expertise in data analysis, visualisation, software development best practices and statistical and machine learning methods, and communicate complex ideas simply to both technical and non-technical audiences.

At EDF, success is personal. Here you'll develop a career that's unique to you. Whether you want to move horizontally, deepen your specialty, or advance through the levels - it's your journey, powered by us. Join us and be part of our mission to help Britain achieve Net Zero.
