Are you an experienced and ambitious Statistician/Data Scientist?

Do you want to work with a team of likeminded professionals who are passionate about innovating and driving value from data?

As the ideal candidate you will have a proven track record of analysing large and complex data using both statistical and machine learning techniques.
