You will work with the head of data to disrupt and challenge existing processes across the operational side of the business, promote product analytics and deliver complex analysis that the wider analyst community is not able to serve itself (such as predictive modelling and forecasting).
As we are a small team there is an ask to support across the data and product landscape which includes: dabbling with AI, securing external data feeds and investigating innovative data focused product initiatives such as complex financial products for our customers.
