The Company

They are a large retail organisation undergoing a significant data and AI transformation.

• Developing, testing and deploying machine learning models end to end, from problem definition through to production
• Contributing to the development of a new Data Science platform and helping shape best practice as the function matures
• Working closely with Data Engineers and Analysts to ensure data quality, scalability and smooth model deployment
• Engaging with commercial and customer stakeholders to translate business problems into practical modelling solutions
• Communicating insights, model outputs and business impact clearly to non-technical audiences
