• Working in agile, cross-functional teams from PoC through MVP and production stages.
• Translating messy, complex data into clear, actionable insights using robust, evidence-based techniques.

We’re looking for someone with:

• Proven experience leading projects and managing stakeholders
• Strong Python, SQL/NoSQL, and cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) skills

Hybrid – 2–3 days per week from London or on client site.
