Data Specialist at Intellect Group | Ex PwC Consultant
Location: London (Hybrid)
Salary: £40,000 – £50,000 + Benefits (plus meaningful equity participation)
Start Date: ASAP
About the Opportunity:
We’re recruiting on behalf of an ambitious, high-growth organisation building an intelligence platform for private credit — turning large-scale, real-world financial behaviour into forward-looking insight for fintechs and investors.
This is a research-driven role focused on developing forecasting, correlation, and simulation capabilities that sit at the core of the product roadmap. You’ll work closely with senior data scientists to take research-grade ideas and translate them into scalable, production-ready modelling foundations.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Designing and implementing forecasting models for credit performance, risk dynamics, and portfolio behaviour
* Developing correlation frameworks across cohorts, products, geographies, and time
* Building simulation engines to model capital run-off, stress scenarios, and structural outcomes
* Exploring regime shifts, early-warning signals, and non-linear dynamics in real-world credit data
* Working from first principles to create scalable, reusable modelling foundations (not one-off analysis)
* Collaborating to bring models into production systems that support real decision-making
What We’re Looking For:
* MSc or PhD (completed or near-completion) in a quantitative discipline (e.g. Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Econometrics, Operations Research)
* Strong grounding in forecasting and time-dependent modelling, such as:
o Time-series analysis
o Probabilistic / Bayesian modelling
o Stochastic processes
o Simulation methods
* Strong programming ability in Python (or similar), with analytical rigour and clarity
* High intellectual curiosity and comfort working with ambiguous, open-ended problems
* Exposure to financial or credit datasets
* Research experience using real-world, noisy, or incomplete data
* Familiarity with simulation-based / scenario-driven modelling
* Interest in economic systems and behavioural dynamics
* Hybrid working in London
* Strong benefits package (details shared during process)
* Meaningful equity participation
* Opportunity to work on genuinely research-led problems with direct real-world application
