If you’re adept at working with clients, leading discussions, and applying advanced data techniques, this could be the perfect role for you!

What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)

As a Data Science Consultant, you’ll take on a dual role – engaging directly with clients to understand their business challenges and translating those into actionable data-driven solutions. You’ll facilitate client workshops, align stakeholders on project goals, and manage expectations while providing regular updates. On the technical side, you’ll dive into data science projects, applying machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, conducting data analysis, building predictive models, and creating solutions. You’ll also contribute hands-on with coding in Python, R, and SQL, as well as model deployment and performance optimization. This role offers a mix of client engagement and technical contribution, making it ideal for a well-rounded data science professional.

Our client is a leading provider of data-driven solutions, known for its innovative approach to business challenges. With a collaborative and flexible work environment, they are passionate about delivering cutting-edge technology solutions and helping clients achieve their strategic goals. The organization prides itself on fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth, offering a supportive team where ideas are valued, and professional development is prioritized.

What you’ll need

To be successful in this role, you should have at least 5 years of experience in data science, with proficiency in Python, R, and SQL, along with experience using machine learning frameworks like Scikit-Learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch. You should be comfortable working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), and experience with BI tools like Power BI or Tableau is a plus. The ability to engage with clients, communicate complex technical concepts, and solve business problems is crucial. Experience in MLOps and model deployment will be highly advantageous.

 

What you’ll get

In return for your expertise, you’ll receive a competitive salary and a robust benefits package, including flexible working arrangements. You will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies in an exciting and collaborative environment, where your contributions will directly impact both client success and the organization’s growth.
