Desirable

• We’re looking for a Senior Data Scientist (SQL, Python, Scikit Learn, Pandas) to join our Data Team to revolutionise the electric car leasing industry
• Build and maintain infrastructure that processes and centralises data from lots of internal and external sources, so our data-hungry users can answer questions without our intervention
• Build data analytics and data science applications, so we can make better decisions that help us unlock growth opportunities or efficiency gains
• Collaborate directly with senior stakeholders across all teams to identify how the Data Team can help them achieve their goals
• Own the full end-to-end design of technical solutions that help us achieve our goals – from data gathering, to analytics engineering, to model selection, training and interpretation
• Conduct experiments and proofs of concept by developing and deploying machine learning models to solve critical growth/efficiency challenges (like lead scoring, delivery forecasting, customer sentiment prediction, etc)
• Work closely with our Senior Data Engineer to deploy your models
• Regularly package your insights (be it from analytics or modelling) into clear narratives that help non-technical audiences make better decisions
• Contribute actively to our stack by building pipelines and DBT models that enable our users to self-serve
• Pick up tickets raised by our users when they get stuck - from reporting, to query help, to (occasionally) dashboarding
• Help shape the direction of our growing team
