    Senior Data Scientist

    Working at our iconic office in King's Cross, London, and virtually via Microsoft Teams

    Your new role at NewDay

    The Data Science team is at the heart of NewDay, solving real world problems and providing transformational value for the business. Through our proprietary platforms and analytical assets, we provide infrastructure, data and insights to our business partners. Through our strong credit data science models and reporting capabilities, we support responsible lending and a top-notch credit journey for our customers.

    The Specialist Data Scientist will be a key contributor to the Data Science team at NewDay. Over the past few years, we have built the team and framework to produce powerful data science solutions for all aspects of the customer journey (Customer acquisition, Customer management, Collections, Affordability, Fraud and others), using modern data science methodologies and multiple sources of data, building on the strong foundation of expert insight into credit risk behaviours.

    The team is made up of several backgrounds and profiles, with two main skillsets: data science and credit experience and knowledge. Any successful candidate for the role is likely to have a strong modelling background and work proactively to round up their profile and ultimately master both skillsets along with a solid understanding of our data.

    About NewDay

    We help people move forward with credit, and help our colleagues to move their careers forward too.

    We use our highly flexible, scalable, and multi-product digital credit engine to power over million transactions every year. Our brands include Aqua, marbles, fluid and Bip. We partner with leading brands such as John Lewis, AO, Argos and DEKO.

We don't discriminate on the basis of age, physical or mental disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and carer status, race (including colour, nationality, and ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation. We make sure that every job is crafted to be inclusive and that people with disabilities or caring responsibilities can take part in the application and interview process. Tell us if you need accommodations: we'll put reasonable adjustments in place to support you.

    Our dynamic NewDay culture

    We're focused on what will drive impact in helping people move forward with credit. Our distinctive culture is geared to spark innovation and team working – with lots of open doors for development. Our customers can rely on us because we aim high, support each other, do the right thing and build for the future.

    We invest in our colleagues. On top of a strong market competitive salary, you get a bonus opportunity that matches the impact (delivery + values) you drive in your role. We also help you retire better with market leading pensions.

    At NewDay, #yourwellbeing matters: NewWork, our flexible, hybrid working approach, helps you to manage your work/life balance - and even bolt on work time in other countries before or after your holiday. And when you're in the office, you get free healthy breakfast, fresh juices, lunch, barista coffee etc.
