Data Scientist

We work with employers and educators across the UK and around the world, to drive change that reaches far beyond their walls. And by that, we mean long-lasting, sustainable change – the kind that improves life chances as well as organisational performance. Data sits at the heart of a huge amount of our work. It sharpens our insights, informs our campaigns, and builds our capability. You’ll help us and our clients make even more of it.

And you’ll coach colleagues to develop their understanding of the value and application of data science in their work.

This is a brilliant opportunity to take our powerful data-science offering to the next level. And you’re ready to take it. You’re a curious, creative, and analytical thinker, with strong coaching skills.
