- Design, build, and deploy machine learning and artificial intelligence frameworks that support automation, prediction, and pattern recognition across business functions
- Develop, evaluate, and iteratively refine statistical models and algorithms to uncover trends, forecast outcomes, and generate actionable insights
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business objectives and translate them into clearly defined data science problems and analytical solutions
- Present data-driven findings, visualisations, and recommendations to key decision-makers and stakeholders in a clear and compelling manner
- Contribute strategic input and innovation to the organisation's data science roadmap, identifying opportunities to leverage data for competitive advantage
- Maintain and document data pipelines, modelling processes, and analytical methodologies to ensure reproducibility and knowledge sharing across the team
- Monitor and assess the performance of deployed models, implementing updates and improvements as required to maintain accuracy and relevance
- Support data governance and ensure compliance with data privacy regulations and organisational data management policies
