Our take
QuantSpark helps governments and businesses to strategically apply data science through the development of complex decision-making software. Primarily, their work involves analysing large datasets and systems in order to understand customer behaviour and help clients make informed decisions for strategic planning in sales and marketing.
In recent years, big data has become central to the operation of businesses large and small, and this has led to great demand for data scientists fluent in sophisticated modelling and analysis. QuantSpark seeks to go a step further, providing a service which combines data science with commercial insight- effectively providing both services through one transaction. By doing this, QuantSpark hopes to offer clients a more meaningful insight into their data than a standard consultancy could.
They already have an impressive client list, including the UK Government, the Australian Government and Bain Capital. QuantSpark's tools and solutions are developed to become embedded in their clients' operations, ensuring a long-lasting relationship between them, and meaning that, as QuantSpark continues to expand its client base, its model should allow it to see continued success in the future.

I love that progression and career development is spoken about right from day one at QuantSpark. There are career development frameworks in place which show the skills and behaviours needed to advance your career, If you know where you sit on a framework, you can set and work towards goals that'll take you to the next level. There's a lot of transparency around promotions and salaries aren't hidden away as a big secret. This fosters an openness around earnings which is so refreshing! Upskilling and progression is supported by a generous training budget of £6,000 per year with 12 days ringfenced to focus on learning and development. It's possible to develop very quickly when you feel supported to really achieve your all.
