Role
Who you are
- We are looking for someone with strong commercial judgement, project leadership, and consulting skills, with enough data literacy to confidently collaborate with our technical specialists. You’ll enjoy working cross-functionally with ambiguity, co-creating solutions with clients, and spotting opportunities for future collaboration
- Strong evidence of commercial impact in previous roles, for example: owning or supporting projects that delivered clear business outcomes, ROI, or material operational improvements
- Experience leading client-facing projects or work-streams in a consulting, professional services, or internal change/transformation environment
- Solid project management skills: defining scope and objectives, managing stakeholders, coordinating cross-functional teams, and keeping delivery on track for time and budget
- Ability to work with data and analytics concepts at a conversational level (e.g. you can understand what data scientists and engineers are doing and ask good questions, even if you don’t build models yourself)
- Excellent consulting, communication and interpersonal skills, with confidence working with senior stakeholders and facilitating workshops or steering sessions
- Experience building an engaged team (formal or informal), including mentoring, coaching, and supporting others’ development
- If you're unsure whether you're a perfect fit but believe you can do the job well, we'd still like to hear from you. We hire based on your skills, potential, and ability to contribute to our team, and we're committed to a fair and objective selection process for all candidates
Desirable
- Experience of data visualisation tools (e.g., Tableau or Power BI)
- Experience configuring BI tools (and knowledge of ETL processes in general)
- Familiarity with Project Management tools such as Asana and Jira
- Experience translating technical lingo into insights and stories for stakeholders
- Ability to write stakeholder deliverables (in-house or external clients) such as reports and presentations
- An ability to show leadership with internal teams and with clients
- An interest in joining a small but growing team and drive to help both themselves and the business develop

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.
