What the job involves
- Our Analysts are creative, entrepreneurial and intellectually curious problem-solvers
- They are highly motivated to have an impact on commercial enterprises and public bodies through innovative uses of data analytics and tools.
- They thrive on getting stuck into problems so challenging our clients have been unable to solve them to date
- This role will require you to think through complex problems that face large organisations and develop innovative, effective and pragmatic solutions based on deep analysis of the available data
- You will embark on a journey to research and understand new industries and technologies, extract and analyse data, build models, learn (and build!) new tools, deliver actionable business strategies and communicate and develop strong relationships with senior client stakeholders
- Help deliver strategic analytics projects for our clients through the thoughtful and creative application of the latest data analytics techniques and tools to solve problems, guided by expert strategic insight from senior colleagues
- Contribute to the end-to-end delivery of impactful analytics projects by delivering the analytical firepower needed to extract, engineer, understand and model complex datasets
- Design hypotheses to test, that are deeply grounded in the client situation and the problem we are solving for them
- Gather and process structured and unstructured data in a variety of formats (Excel, text, csv, databases, json, web scrape, etc.) and from diverse sources (propriety or open-source)
- Build quantitative models (e.g. predictive, geospatial, financial, ect) and conduct statistical analyses to test and iterate our hypotheses
- Create and present summary strategic recommendations to client stakeholders – typically using Powerpoint
- Create striking data visualisations and dashboards that help communicate insights to both expert and non-expert stakeholders, ensuring our recommendations are clearly and fully understood. This could include using Powerpoint, Tableau, Power BI or bespoke dashboards you’ve built from scratch
- Help build bespoke tools and design new processes to embed the solution with our client’s day-to-day operations– this could be a clever Excel model built in a few weeks, or an enterprise-level software solution developed over several months. Either way, you will be working closely with clients to change the way their business operates

Our take
QuantSpark helps governments and businesses to strategically apply data science through the development of complex decision-making software. Primarily, its 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.
Already, the company has 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 its 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.
