Role and Responsibilities:
Ideate, develop, monitor, and manage key modelling assets within the team to solve business problems by applying both simple and state-of-the-art modelling and statistical techniques independently, with guidance from senior team members.

We don’t expect you to know them all, but you must have advanced hands-on coding skills and the ability to write modular and optimised code in what you do know and the proven ability to pick up new tools quickly.
