Lead Data Scientist

Data Scientist - Financial Crime Solutions

Location: London (Hybrid) | Global Impact

I'm working with a cutting-edge team at the forefront of financial crime prevention. They're using transactional data and advanced data science to help financial institutions detect fraud and money laundering - and they're looking for a talented Data Scientist to join them.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Designing algorithms to uncover criminal behaviour in payments data
  • Leading proof-of-concept projects and prototyping new products
  • Collaborating with engineering, product, and client teams
  • Creating visual insights, contributing to patents and white papers
  • Ensuring privacy, security, and regulatory compliance in all work

What They're Looking For

  • Strong Python skills (including pandas, scikit-learn, networkx)
  • Experience developing novel algorithms
  • Ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences
  • Interest in financial crime and behavioural data modeling
  • Bonus skills: Kafka, TensorFlow, network theory, custom visualizations

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Award-winning team with global reach
  • Innovation-driven culture
  • Real-world impact in financial crime prevention
  • Security-first mindset

If you're a data scientist who wants to work on meaningful problems with global impact, this is a fantastic opportunity.
