More

We are a London-based data and AI consultancy with a small, flat structure and a collaborative, hands-on culture. We work across retail, ecommerce, insurance, education, media and hospitality, and this role is a second hire in a successful seat as our client base continues to grow. The role is hybrid, with around three days a week in our London office, two days from home, and occasional client visits. We offer a company-performance bonus, expensed client travel, and real room to grow into leading our data function as the business scales.
