We’re looking for a Senior Data Scientist with a passion for building risk models. If you’re the kind of data scientist who doesn’t just tweak existing models but creates them from scratch, this is your chance to make a real impact!
What you’ll be doing

As part of a specialist Risk Modelling Team, you’ll operate in a collaborative, matrix-style environment. Your work will include model development, enhancement, and forecasting, ensuring outputs are accurate, robust, and clearly communicated.
This role is also a chance to work on variations of risk, you’ll model across multiple areas and projects, outside of a highly regulated environment. They need someone adaptable, curious, and genuinely passionate about risk modelling. Your projects could include insurance risk, asset risk, financial risk, pricing risk, credit risk, climate risk and more.
