Role
Who you are
- Have 3 or more years of experience as a Data Scientist
- Be fluent writing code in Python and queries in SQL. We use Jupyter notebooks, Python and Pandas frequently for analysis
- Understand a wide range of classification/regression algorithms and have applied them using libraries such as scikit-learn
- Have implemented regression analysis and understand how to interpret the results. More generally, you know how to apply appropriate statistical techniques to assess the significance of results
- Be able to take raw data sets and build narratives around insights you discover
- Be comfortable using a variety of approaches to present results in a way a non-technical audience can understand and act on
- Appreciate the importance of data cleaning and have previously applied a range of approaches to achieve this
- Have a bachelor's or master’s degree in a numerical or engineering subject such as Data Science, Mathematics or Computer Science
What the job involves
- The Data Science capability at Moneyhub generates value from a rich repository of data sources
- Its function is critical to the day-to-day running of the business, and it also spearheads the development of novel ideas to exploit new commercial opportunities
- You can expect to work on:
- The Machine Learning based transaction categorisation engine that underpins the budgeting capabilities of the app and affordability checking, e.g. for mortgages
- Data Science oriented product development: identifying improvements to existing algorithms, or the creation of new products using a quantitative approach. Examples: identifying regular payments from raw transaction data, geotagging banking transactions from their descriptions, reverse engineering credit card APRs
- Analysis of the characteristics of the user base, i.e. user segmentation, to support business decisions. For instance, what’s the current financial situation of the users of the app, what are their goals and how should the product be developed to aid the user in their journey?
Our take
2022 saw large changes to the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) and its Consumer Duty regulations, which have meant that companies such as Moneyhub, an Open Finance data and payments platform, are more important than ever.
Moneyhub has gone from strength to strength as a data analytics for finance platform. A winner of the UK Fintech Awards 2021, Moneyhub helps businesses develop better ways to engage with their customers through consent-driven data. It also gives companies and people the power to make more informed decisions about risk management and investment through their big data.
The influx of VC funding Moneyhub has received reflects the growing need for more powerful financial management and customer engagement tools, especially as corporation tax and cost of living rise exponentially. Moneyhub is a leader in this area, at a time when companies like it are under more pressure to help navigate a rocky economy. On that subject, Moneyhub closed off its D2C practices in 2025 to focus entirely on products for B2B customers, including a white-label engagement platform, APIs for open data and credit and payment decisioning solutions.
