Data Scientist (Consulting)

Quantium's Financial Services Consulting practice partners with Australia's banks, insurers, super funds and wealth managers to turn data into decisions. We work as an embedded analytics partner with an AI-first delivery model, helping clients move from intuition to evidence. Our core is insurance, with active expansion into banking, superannuation and wealth.

As an Analyst, you will contribute to client engagements end to end: framing the question, doing the analysis, and helping land the insight. You will work alongside senior analysts who coach you, and you will use AI as a daily multiplier on your own work from the start. We hire for trajectory as much as current capability. The people who do well here are clear thinkers who learn domains fast, are comfortable in front of clients early, and use AI with judgement rather than taking it at face value.

This is a consulting analytics role, not an in-house analytics role. The work is project-based, client-facing and time-pressured. Judgement and framing matter more here than how much code you write.

How will you make an impact?

• Contribute to analytics engagements end to end, from data preparation and exploration through to insight and presentation
• Help structure ambiguous client problems into clear analytical plans and testable hypotheses, rather than waiting for a defined brief
• Build analysis using statistical, data science and AI-enabled methods, choosing the right approach for the question
• Use AI to accelerate your work, staying alert to where it goes wrong, off-target or rests on a hidden assumption
• Communicate findings clearly to technical and non-technical audiences through narratives, visuals and recommendations
• Apply quality assurance and keep clear, reusable documentation of methods and outputs
• Seek out feedback and build your technical, domain and consulting capability

Key Activities 

• Deliver analytical work on time and to a quality standard, with clear links to business impact
• Frame problems before diving into analysis; avoid waiting for a fully defined brief
• Use AI tools actively and critically, recognising where outputs require scrutiny
• Produce clear, well-documented code and methods that others can reuse and build on
• Communicate findings in plain language with a clear recommendation or next step
• Actively seek feedback from senior analysts and act on it between engagements
• Identify and flag opportunities to extend value within existing engagements

The superpowers you’ll be bringing to the team:

• Commercial experience: Real world examples of building solutions and delivering value in a commercial environment
• Technical proficiency: Your fluency in data analytics tools and programming languages, including SQL, R, Python, and visualisation platforms equip you to transform data into insights.
• Solution-oriented experience: A natural instinct to ask what the real question is and to structure messy problems without a clear brief
• Agile performer: Your capability to move fast with care through a dynamic environment ensures that you deliver exceptional quality without compromise.
• Intellectual curiosity: Active daily use of AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot, past the experimentation stage, and into building
  

Remember – you might not tick all the boxes, but don’t let that from stopping you applying. We’re more interested in how you work, your ability to solve problems and think big.
