• Commercial mindset - able to translate technical solutions into business impact, spotting opportunities others might miss.
• Energy & curiosity - proactive, problem-seeking, and solutions-focused.

The Tech (Flexible)

• Current stack: R, Databricks, SQL

What You’ll Get

If you’re a Data Scientist who wants to own projects, deliver real outcomes, and be recognised for your impact, we’d love to hear from you.
