• Able to work independently in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment and collaborate closely with engineers, product teams and domain experts.
• Strong sense of ownership for turning analysis into something that is used in an operational workflow.

Responsibilities

• Analyse large operational datasets to identify patterns, anomalies, outliers and risk indicators
• Develop approaches for anomaly detection, clustering, segmentation and risk scoring
• Build supervised machine-learning models where historical outcomes or labelled cases are available
• Perform feature engineering using structured and unstructured data
• Design evaluation approaches to assess model performance, including precision, recall, false positives and false negatives
• Work with domain experts to determine how analytical outputs should be incorporated into operational workflows
• Build and maintain data-processing and feature pipelines to support modelling at scale
• Develop production-ready model or scoring pipelines and integrate them with applications built by the forward-deployed teams
• Monitor model performance, data quality and data drift after deployment
• Conduct exploratory analysis to identify new opportunities for workflow redesign and automation
• Support the use of LLMs and other AI techniques alongside traditional statistical and machine-learning approaches where appropriate
• Develop reusable analytical approaches and components that can be applied across multiple agency engagements
