• Experience delivering end-to-end data science and analytics projects
• Ability to communicate with non-technical stakeholders and work collaboratively
• Intellectually curious, self-motivated, and highly hands-on
• Comfortable working in a lean team and owning projects independently
• Willingness to learn tools like Power BI if not already experienced

Benefits

• 5% pension
• Company-wide share scheme (EBT)
