We’re recognised by industry analysts, such as Gartner and IDC, as a market-leading Data & AI services consultancy and are actively working with clients to design, develop and deliver AI-powered products and data capabilities that achieve tangible outcomes and business value.
We’re looking for self-starting, progressive, and inquisitive individuals who want to shape the future of how AI is applied in real business contexts.

- Working as part of a cross-functional product squad - including AI Engineers, Product Designers, Data Scientists and Industry Sector Specialists - to launch and scale AI client solutions, from core data science products (e.g. pricing and forecasting) all the way through to Agentic AI
- Designing and advising on the data science approach for your product, balancing rigour, interpretability, and scalability, and ensuring models are reusable across multiple client contexts
- Partnering with sector and go-to-market teams and solution architects to identify client challenges, demonstrate product capabilities, gather feedback, and inform development priorities
- Collaborating closely with engineers to productionise models on cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) using MLOps and DevSecOps practices
This role is for you if:
- Practical experience across the data science lifecycle - from feature engineering and model design to validation, deployment, and monitoring;

- Experience using deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, or MXNet;
- Familiarity with Agile and DevSecOps practices, including use of Git for version control;
- Exposure to cloud environments (Azure, AWS or GCP) and a desire to build solutions that scale;
- The ability to explain complex data concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, with strong data storytelling and visualisation skills;
- Intellectual curiosity with a disciplined, hypothesis-led approach - validating, challenging, and refining your outputs to ensure analytical rigour and business relevance

- A collaborative mindset - you enjoy working in diverse, cross-functional teams that have a blend of onshore and offshore resources
