Senior Data Scientist (all genders)

As a Senior Data Scientist, you will develop and implement complex analytical solutions within strategic consulting projects, focusing on designing and implementing mathematical optimisation models.

You will work closely with project teams, client teams, and data scientists, overseeing your own workstream and being accountable for clear results.

Your responsibilities include:

• Supporting project acquisition by developing and conceptualising the optimisation workstream and integrating it into the overall strategic question
• Implementing the project according to the planned approach, including developing mathematical optimisation models, selecting suitable solution methods, preparing and coordinating client data, and operational implementation on our data platform
• Ensuring the integration of analytical insights into strategic decision-making processes

Requirements:

• Master's or PhD degree with a strong quantitative focus (e.g., mathematics, operations research, computer science, engineering sciences, or related fields)
• At least 5 years of relevant professional experience in mathematical optimisation, ideally in a consulting environment or data-driven industry projects
• Proven experience in developing and applying complex optimisation models (linear, integer, nonlinear, or heuristic)
• Excellent analytical thinking and ability to quickly structure complex problems, abstract them, and transfer them into reliable, calculable models
• Experience in collaborating with interdisciplinary teams and direct client contact, ideally with your own result responsibility
• Initial team leadership experience
