Offer description

Are you passionate about uncovering the hidden drivers behind business performance? We're looking for an experienced Data Scientist Contractor to help us identify what makes the highest-performing products in our portfolio stand out and translate those insights into actionable business decisions.


The Opportunity

You'll work on a high-impact project focused on understanding the characteristics of successful products across a large and diverse portfolio. Building on existing analysis, you'll validate current assumptions, apply advanced machine learning techniques, and develop a robust framework that explains the key drivers of product performance. This is a highly visible piece of work that will influence strategic decision-making across the business and provide direct exposure to senior leadership stakeholders.


What You'll Be Doing

* Validating and enhancing existing analytical models and hypotheses.
* Applying unsupervised learning techniques to segment and cluster product data.
* Building supervised learning models to identify and predict high-performing products.
* Using model explainability techniques such as SHAP to uncover and communicate key performance drivers.
* Turning complex analytical findings into clear, compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences.
* Developing scalable, programmatic solutions using data housed within Snowflake.
* Creating engaging stakeholder-facing outputs, ideally leveraging Streamlit.


What/Who We're Looking For

* Proven commercial experience delivering Data Science projects from problem definition through to insight generation.
* Strong expertise in both supervised and unsupervised machine learning.
* Experience with model interpretability techniques, particularly SHAP.
* Excellent stakeholder communication and storytelling skills.
* Strong Python and SQL capabilities.
* Experience working with Snowflake and ideally Streamlit.
* Ability to challenge assumptions, validate existing work, and build trusted recommendations.


Next Steps

We are shortlisting w/c 1st June with the ideal start within the next 2 weeks. If you enjoy turning complex data into clear business value and want to help define what ''great'' looks like across a large product portfolio, we'd love to hear from you.
