About the Role

Design and deliver analytical models and decision-support systems to improve understanding, prediction, and decision-making across the business. The role focuses on building practical models of complex real-world systems, working with imperfect data, uncertainty, and competing objectives to generate commercially valuable outcomes. Responsible for developing deployable analytical solutions in partnership with Engineering teams.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain statistical, probabilistic, and simulation-based models.
  • Translate complex business questions into tractable modelling problems.
  • Select appropriate modelling approaches based on problem characteristics.
  • Develop prototypes and working solutions iteratively.
  • Build reusable analytical assets.
  • Design and analyze experiments to evaluate interventions, operational changes, and model effectiveness.
  • Develop approaches for estimating missing information and combining evidence from multiple sources.
  • Quantify uncertainty and communicate confidence in model outputs.
  • Test assumptions and identify limitations within modelling approaches.
  • Develop frameworks that improve operational and commercial decision-making.
  • Evaluate alternative actions, trade-offs, and potential outcomes.
  • Support automation of decision processes through analytical models.
  • Design experiments and simulations that inform strategic and operational choices.
  • Validate models using appropriate testing, back-testing, and comparison techniques.
  • Assess sensitivity to assumptions and changing conditions.
  • Monitor model performance over time and identify concept drift or degradation.
  • Maintain high standards of analytical rigour and reproducibility.
  • Partner closely with Business Analysts, Engineering, Product, and operational teams.
  • Explain modelling approaches, assumptions, and results clearly to non-technical audiences.
  • Document methodologies, limitations, and recommendations.
  • Contribute to a culture of experimentation and evidence-based decision-making.
  • Design models and analytical approaches with operational deployment in mind.
  • Work closely with Engineering teams to translate models into scalable production solutions.
  • Define model inputs, outputs, assumptions, and performance requirements for implementation.
  • Support the development of APIs, services, or analytical components by providing technical guidance and validation.
  • Contribute to testing and acceptance of implemented solutions.
  • Help define monitoring, evaluation, and retraining requirements.
  • Partner with Product, Engineering, and Business teams to ensure analytical solutions deliver measurable business value.

Requirements

  • Experience building models that support real-world decisions, products, or operational processes.
  • Experience working with uncertainty, incomplete information, and imperfect datasets.
  • Ability to move from loosely defined problems to practical analytical solutions.
  • Strong problem decomposition and structured thinking skills.
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong coding skills in Python or R.
  • Experience developing analytical solutions in code rather than primarily through spreadsheet-based analysis.
  • Experience taking analytical models from prototype through to operational deployment.
  • Building simulation or digital twin style systems is desirable.
  • Optimisation, operational research, or decision science techniques are desirable.
  • Working with survey, panel, or market research data is desirable.
  • Applying machine learning or AI techniques to business problems is desirable.
  • Model monitoring, governance, and validation practices are desirable.
  • Contributing to analytical products rather than one-off analyses is desirable.
  • Modern AI and generative AI approaches are desirable.
  • Working in multidisciplinary teams alongside software engineers and product teams is desirable.
  • Software development lifecycles and productionisation of analytical solutions are desirable.
  • Defining requirements and acceptance criteria for model implementation is desirable.
