• Be the Hands‑On Technical Expert: Serve as an internal subject matter expert for complex analytics. You’ll be hands‑on, using advanced Python and Spark to build scalable, production‑ready solutions, often within the Experian Ascend Analytical Sandbox.
• Consult & Advise: Act as a key consultant for clients and internal partners. You’ll not only perform advanced analytics but also explain complex methodologies and results to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Leverage AI for Modern Solutions: You will use AI in delivering analytics solutions and support clients in their use of Experian’s powerful AI tools, helping them understand and adopt these modern capabilities.
• Apply Deep Domain Expertise: Use your knowledge of consumer lending, credit risk, and marketing analytics (such as campaign performance, segmentation, and return on investment) to solve complex challenges.
• Improve Business Growth: Collaborate with product, marketing and sales teams to translate client needs into viable, analytical solutions that help grow the business.
• Represent Our Expertise: Support departmental leadership on strategic goals and represent Experian’s analytical expertise in internal and external forums.
