This role is designed to bridge academic theory with commercial practice, giving you exposure to the full project lifecycle in a supportive, learning-focused environment.

  • Build and maintain interactive dashboards and scheduled reports using modern data visualisation tools to surface key business metrics.
  • Write clear documentation for data pipelines, model logic, and analytical code to promote reproducibility and knowledge sharing.
  • Actively contribute during team discussions, proposing data-driven approaches to solve specific operational or strategic challenges.
  • Assist with ad hoc data requests from different departments, translating business questions into analytical tasks.
  • Participate in code reviews and peer feedback sessions to improve technical quality and collaborative skills.

Requirements & Qualifications

  • Currently enrolled in, or have graduated within the past 12 months from, a Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or another quantitative discipline.
  • Solid grasp of core statistical concepts and data modelling techniques, with the ability to apply them practically.
  • Proven proficiency in SQL for extracting, joining, and manipulating data from relational databases.
