Anaplan is looking for a curious, pragmatic, and technically strong Data Scientist to join our growing team in Manchester or York. This is your chance to shape and deliver next-generation data science capabilities within a highly visible, large-scale SaaS cloud company.
We’re a diverse team of thinkers, builders, and innovators. We challenge the status quo and champion bold ideas that create meaningful impact for our customers. You’ll thrive here if you enjoy solving complex problems, collaborating across disciplines, and working with cutting-edge technologies.
Your Impact
- Build and deploy scalable data science solutions using Databricks, Apache Spark, and the broader Apache ecosystem.
- Apply statistical analysis and machine learning to generate actionable insights from complex datasets.
- Design and run experiments (e.g., A/B testing) to support evidence-based decision making.
- Collaborate with Data Engineers to develop clean, validated data pipelines for analytics and modelling.
- Work with Product Owners, Designers, and Engineers to embed intelligent decision-making into our platform.
- Use Apache Pulsar to stream real-time data and enable low-latency decision systems.

- Maintain a strong focus on reproducibility, testing, documentation, and continuous improvement.
Your Skills
- Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, or a related quantitative field.
