Data Scientist, Data Analyst

We see an increased need for the wide business to explore and unveil the value hidden in the big variety of data assets available in the group. We want to grow substantially the data science team to scale up the modelling capabilities and the innovative solutions offered to external and internal clients. As a big player of services and information retrieval in many aspects of the Financial Markets, we want to provide our clients with premium data quality and rigorous analytical approach, in order to enable them to discover and leverage value in their business. To achieve this, we iteratively feed our product roadmaps with client needs and sentiments inferred from data, we innovate through data-driven product functionalities, we link product offerings with the analysis of business processes.
