Job Description & How to Apply Below
We’re looking for a hands‑on Data Scientist who loves solving real problems with data. This role goes beyond building models - you’ll partner closely with stakeholders, explore complex questions, and turn data into meaningful, real‑world impact.
You’ll be part of a practical, curious team that values ownership, collaboration, and doing work that genuinely matters. If you enjoy learning, asking “why?”, and rolling up your sleeves to solve tough problems, this role is for you.
What You’ll Be Doing- Build, validate, and deploy statistical and machine learning models using SAS, Python, and SQL
- Design and develop AI‑driven solutions to address complex business challenges
- Own the end‑to‑end data lifecycle — sourcing data, cleaning and preparing it, exploring patterns, and performing ad‑hoc analysis
- Tackle ambiguous, unstructured problems and create clear, logical approaches to solving them
- Communicate insights clearly through visualisations, dashboards, and storytelling
- Work within modern analytics platforms, including AWS and SAS Viya, to deliver production‑ready solutions
- Strong, practical experience with Python, SQL & ideally SAS
- Proven experience building and deploying machine learning or statistical models
- Solid data preparation and data‑wrangling skills
- Experience working in cloud environments (e.g. AWS)
- Familiarity with large‑scale analytics platforms such as SAS Viya
- Experience using data visualisation tools (e.g. SAS Visual Analytics) to communicate insights
- Strong academic background (Honours, Master’s, or PhD) in a quantitative discipline
- (e.g. statistics, mathematics, data science, engineering, economics)
This role requires not just knowing how to run models, but understanding why you’re using them.
Who You Are- Naturally curious – you’re always asking “why?” and see mistakes as opportunities to learn
- A true partner – you take time to understand business problems before writing code
- Accountable and ownership‑driven – you see work through from start to finish and focus on outcomes
- Collaborative – you enjoy working as part of a team, sharing knowledge, and constructively challenging ideas
- Motivated by the work itself – you genuinely enjoy solving complex problems and celebrating progress along the way
- Work on meaningful, real‑world problems with tangible impact
- A collaborative, supportive environment that values curiosity and learning
- Opportunities to work across the full analytics and data science lifecycle
- Space to grow your skills, influence decisions, and make a real difference
