Interim Data Scientist Opportunity – Build a Behavioural Scorecard from Scratch

We are supporting a specialist financial services business on a critical interim requirement to design and deliver a bespoke behavioural credit scorecard.

This is not an optimisation exercise. The organisation has consciously moved away from off-the-shelf solutions and is seeking an experienced practitioner to build a model tailored to their portfolio, data, and risk strategy from first principles.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead the end-to-end build of a behavioural credit scorecard
• Work directly with customer data to generate predictive insight
• Develop an explainable, production-ready model
• Partner with risk and data teams to embed the solution

Ideal profile:

• Deep expertise in behavioural scorecards
• Proven track record in credit risk modelling within lending, fintech or banking
• Experience building models from the ground up (not just maintaining existing frameworks)

This is a rare opportunity to shape core credit decisioning capability within a growing financial services platform
