Role:

Provide analytical and data support within the Data Science & Engineering function, contributing to data manipulation, analysis, reporting, monitoring, and pipeline projects. This is a hands-on, learning-by-doing role designed for a numerate graduate who is eager to build a career in data science and engineering. You will work closely with our Data Scientist and Data Engineer, supporting day-to-day projects. Over time, and under structured mentorship, you will develop the technical depth to take on increasingly complex assignments.

Responsibilities:

• Support recurring BAU tasks including scheduled data pulls, routine management reporting, and data quality checks, ensuring outputs are delivered accurately and on time.
• Monitor data pipelines, flag anomalies or failures and work with the team to resolve them.
• Own a portion of the data and analytical support ticket backlog.
• Write Python scripts (e.g. in Jupyter Notebooks) to support analytical and engineering tasks.
• Create SQL queries to extract and transform data and learn SQL optimisation techniques.
• Apply standard statistical techniques such as descriptive analytics, distributions, correlation, and trend analysis to datasets and produce insight summaries.
• Support modelling and segmentation work by preparing datasets, running exploratory analysis, and assisting with model evaluation.
• Document processes, queries, and outputs to build business knowledge.
• Identify opportunities to improve or automate recurring tasks and propose solutions.

Requirements:

• Degree in a quantitative discipline (mathematics, statistics, economics, computer science, or a related field) with 2:1 or above, or equivalent.
• Familiarity with Python and SQL for writing queries to extract, filter, join, and aggregate data, whether through coursework, personal projects, or internships.
• Coursework or project exposure to statistical techniques, e.g. regression, in data analysis.
• A methodical, detail-oriented approach and willingness to sense-check own work.
• Clear written and verbal communication and ability to summarise data findings for a non-technical audience.

Desirable:

• Familiarity with data visualisation tools (e.g. Looker, Power BI, or similar).
• Awareness of version control principles (Git).
• Exposure to regulated financial services, e.g. internship or placement.
• Understanding of basic mortgage or lending concepts.

How you’ll grow with us:

• From day one you will work alongside experienced data scientists and data engineers in a small, collaborative team and contribute meaningfully while building the habits and skills that underpin a long-term career in data.
• Learn to work to professional standards for code quality, documentation, and methodology by following established conventions and receiving regular, constructive feedback from senior colleagues.
• Develop commercial awareness by understanding which tasks matter most, how to manage your own workload, and how to communicate progress and blockers clearly.
• Build the habit of rigour by sense-checking your outputs, questioning results that don't look right, and taking ownership of the quality of everything you produce.
• Grow your ability to communicate with any audience by translating technical findings into plain language for business stakeholders and learning to tailor your communication to context.
• Cultivate genuine curiosity by asking questions, learning from the answers, and carrying that learning independently into your next piece of work.
