The Role
We are currently looking for a data scientist to join a fantastic team of client-facing data scientists and client support analysts. You will be working with data scientists and crime analysts to discover patterns and trends concerning fraud in our clients' data. In this key role, you'll be applying exploratory analysis to form realistic and useful narratives from data, asking “why” as well as “what” and “how". You will interact directly and indirectly with clients to help them understand what is happening with their fraud, and help us to target our efforts ever more precisely.
