Job Description

Whats the opportunity?


We’re on the hunt for a Data Science Maverick to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI and real-world business impact. As part of the Wealth Management Europe (WME) team, you’ll be the go-to problem solver, turning complex challenges into smart, actionable predictive models. Think of yourself as a data translator—speaking both "tech" and "business" fluently to drive decisions that matter.

What will you do?

  • Be the AI Whisperer: Champion data and AI solutions across teams, from front office to compliance, making tech feel less like magic and more like a superpower.
  • Solve Puzzles, Not Just Problems: Dive into messy business challenges, ask the right questions, and shape them into clear, data-driven projects. No jargon, just results.
  • End-to-End Ownership: From cleaning data to deploying models (with help from ML engineers—we’re a team, after all!), you’ll own the full lifecycle while keeping stakeholders in the loop.
  • Tell Data Stories: Turn numbers into narratives that wow senior leaders, compliance teams, or fellow nerds. Your visualizations will be the star of every meeting.
  • Share the Love: Mentor junior team members, foster a culture of clean code and collaboration, and ensure our models are used responsibly (governance isn’t boring—it’s essential!).

Why You’ll Love It Here:

  • Flexibility: Work from our London office 4 days a week, with 1 day remote—balance is key!
  • Impact: Your work directly shapes strategies for wealth management clients across Europe.
  • Grow with Us: Learn from the best, tackle diverse projects, and develop skills beyond your comfort zone.
  • Team Vibes: Collaborative, dynamic, and high-performing—no silos, just shared wins.

What do you need to succeed?

Must-Have

  • Proven experience building machine learning models and deploying them into production.
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and translate business needs into data-driven solutions.
  • A degree (or equivalent experience) in a quantitative field—stats, CS, math, or similar.
  • Strong understanding of agile methodologies, DevOps, and MLOps principles.
  • Experience navigating data governance, security, and compliance in machine learning projects.
  • Portfolio or examples of delivering data science solutions to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Bonus Points: Mentoring experience, familiarity with BI tools (PowerBI, Tableau), or experience in structured organizations with a collaborative mindset.
