Company mission
To solve real world problems by combining research-grade statistical techniques with a lean startup mentality and a technical skill set.
Role
Who you are
- Be comfortable using Python and SQL for data analysis, data science, and/or machine learning
- Have used any libraries in the Python Open Data Science Stack (e.g. pandas, NumPy, matplotlib, Seaborn, scikit-learn)
- Enjoy sharing your knowledge, experience, and passion with others
- Have great communication skills. You will be expected to write and contribute towards presentation slide decks to showcase our work during sprint reviews and client project demos
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Data Science Intern to join the Coefficient team full-time for 3 months
- A permanent role at Coefficient may be offered depending on performance
- You'll be working on projects with multiple clients across different industries, including clients in the UK public sector, financial services, healthcare, app startups and beyond
- This is no ordinary data science role. You can expect hands-on experience delivering data science & engineering projects for our clients as well as working on our own products
- You can also expect plenty of mentoring and guidance along the way: we aim to be best-in-class at what we do, and we want to work with people who share that same attitude
Application process
- Round 1: We look through your application (CV, Cover letter, screening questions, and code samples) to see if you meet the initial requirements for this role. Please note that if you do not have a cover letter and code available for review, we are unable to proceed with your application beyond this stage
- Round 2: You’ll have a one-way video interview to get a sense of your personality and your interests outside of Data Science. This is not a technical interview
- Round 3: We’ll book you in for a 1-hour slot to complete a code test, which mirrors tasks you can expect to do at Coefficient
- Round 4: You’ll have a 1-hour technical interview with someone from our amazing Data Team. You can expect some pair programming and a deeper dive into the required skills for the role
- Round 5: You’ll have a chat with our CEO, John Sandall, to understand your motivations and career goals. We want to know that you'll be a great fit for our team, but we also want to help you achieve your goals too
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Over the past few years the demand for data scientists has skyrocketed as companies seek to find experts that can help them effectively use the data they gather. Coefficient is a data consultancy offering data science, engineering, machine learning and other AI-related services as well as bespoke training courses.

By providing a range of services, the company uses its expertise to assist companies in a range of endeavours, allowing it to be a one-stop-shop for clients' every data related need.
Coefficient has seen success, already boasting an impressive client list, including BNP Paribas, EY, Hawk-Eye, the BBC, and the Metropolitan Police. Going forward the company appear to be expanding its services, having begun offering educational coding courses.
