Statistical Data Scientist
Role Overview
As a Statistical Data Scientist, you'll build the statistical models and machine learning methods behind our origin-verification science, then work with teams across Oritain to get those models running within live products and workflows.
You'll partner with scientists, engineers, product teams and business stakeholders to turn complex data into solutions that solve real customer problems.
From developing predictive models to improving analytical approaches and supporting decision-making, your work will have a direct impact on our products, customers and future growth.
This role sits in a business that is growing fast.
We're building, evolving and scaling.
That means you'll have the opportunity to shape how things are done, influence decisions, and contribute well beyond the boundaries of a traditional data science role.
If you're looking for an environment where ownership is encouraged, ideas are welcomed, and your work can genuinely move the business forward, Oritain is the right place for you.
What you'll be doing
• Collect, clean and process data from a range of sources.
• Build statistical models and machine learning algorithms that turn data into decisions.
• Develop and deploy predictive models to solve operational and commercial challenges.
• Build visualisations, dashboards and analytical tools that make insight easy to use.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to embed analytical solutions into existing products and workflows.
• Evaluate and improve modelling approaches using rigorous quantitative assessment.
• Track developments in statistics and data science and bring the useful ones into our analytics.
• Provide expert guidance on data science initiatives across the organisation.
