• Automating data gathering, cleaning and processing of large datasets to make suitable for modelling 

• Interpreting and communicating models and analysis, combining marketing, business and external factors into a coherent narrative 

• Supporting the ongoing growth of ClearScore with the most efficient and effective marketing strategy  

Skills we'd love you to have 

• You must possess advanced modelling skills in either R or Python, knowledge of SQL and Excel skills.  

• Ability to plan and prioritise your own workload 

• Desire to learn and enjoy working collaboratively, with a desire to contribute to our culture. 

• You do not need to fit into a stereotype: we are really committed to closing our gender gap and are actively trying to create an environment where you, as an individual, can thrive. 

• Strong quantitative and numerical skills

Our Hybrid Model

We embrace a dynamic hybrid work environment that balances flexibility with collaborative in-person experiences. Our approach is designed to foster innovation, team connection, and individual productivity.

• Levels 1-5: Minimum 2 days per week in-office
• Level 6 and above: Minimum 3 days per week in-office

We believe this structure offers the best of both worlds - the flexibility of remote work and the synergy of face-to-face collaboration. Our office days are carefully coordinated to maximise team interactions and learning/ mentorship opportunities.

What This Means for You:

• Flexibility to manage your work and life
• Dedicated in-office days for team building and collaborative projects
•  Office facilities (with plants!) designed for productive interactions
• Clear expectations and support for maintaining our hybrid schedule

We’re committed to creating an inclusive environment that accommodates diverse needs while maintaining our collaborative culture. Join us in shaping the future of work!

Note: While we offer flexibility, commitment to our hybrid schedule is an important aspect of our team culture and performance expectations.
