Key Responsibilities

Analytics Delivery

• Accountable for delivering advanced analytics solutions into Quantium products on time and at the required level of quality
• Lead assigned sections of analytics solution design with minimal guidance — typically components with clear input/output requirements such as predictive models, allocation schemes, or data transformation pipelines
• Design, develop, prototype, and test analytics algorithms, writing clear specifications for implementation by engineering teams where required
• Carry out BAU production processes for product components that require regular delivery, ensuring reliability and accuracy
• Investigate and resolve data quality issues, user objections, or anomalies raised during product operation

AI-Augmented Analytics

• Actively adopt AI tools and techniques to improve personal and team productivity — including AI‑assisted coding, automated data validation, and GenAI‑driven analysis workflows
• Contribute to the development and testing of AI‑powered product features, such as natural language interfaces, intelligent data exploration, or automated reporting
• Prototype and evaluate new AI/ML approaches for solving analytical problems, working with the Analytics Lead to assess feasibility and production‑readiness
• Build familiarity with prompt engineering, LLM integration patterns, and retrieval‑augmented generation as these become part of the product toolkit

Task Management and Peer Development

• Oversee and delegate technical tasks to analysts and graduates, ensuring work is distributed effectively and delivered to standard
• Peer review the work of other analysts — both methodology and code — to ensure correct implementation and adherence to Quantium’s analytics best practices
• Follow and instil best practice guidelines, tools, and formal processes for analytics within the team
• Actively drive improvement in the capability and quality of work of junior team members through coaching and knowledge sharing

Client and Stakeholder Liaison

• Act as a key client liaison, translating business requirements into modelling specifications for assigned analytics workstreams
• Liaise with internal and external product stakeholders to respond to queries, communicate delivery updates, and manage expectations
• Provide estimates of work effort, timeframes, and costings for analytics tasks, and peer review estimates from team members

Continuous Improvement

• Create analytics approaches that solve business problems in a scalable and repeatable way
• Suggest improvements to existing analytics processes, tools, and workflows — including identifying automation opportunities
• Participate in Quantium’s Analytics Community through peer reviews, knowledge‑sharing sessions, and collaborative problem‑solving
• Take active steps to drive own career development and deepen technical expertise, seeking guidance as needed

Key Activities

• Delivering analytics components within cross‑functional product teams managed by a Product Lead or Delivery Manager
• Designing and building data pipelines, models, and validation frameworks that operate reliably at scale
• Writing specifications for analytics algorithms to be implemented by software engineers
• Supporting product migration and transition work, picking up operational knowledge and building India team capability
• Applying AI tools to accelerate routine analytical tasks — data profiling, code generation, documentation, and testing
• Conducting exploratory analysis and discovery work to identify new use cases and product improvement opportunities
• Producing clear documentation of methodology, assumptions, and limitations for all analytical work
