Data Scientist, Consulting, EY, Belfast

Job description

The Opportunity

We live in a data rich World and more & more of our personal and business interactions are being driven by the application of advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).  At EY, we are helping organisations transform, to continually improve the way they ‘do business’ and lead in the market.  We are doing this by challenging the norm, by taking on the ‘too hard’ problems and by helping organisations become insight driven .

 

Any Data Scientist & AI Engineer worth their salt, knows that Analytics is not just a technical discussion, rather it is a combination of the technical and domain knowledge, aimed at the right business audience.  At EY we have the right market access and business relationships, so when we combine it with your passion & talent for AI , we really can make a better working world.

 

We have a fast-growing Data & Analytics practice within Advisory, where Data Science & AI Engineers are at the tip of the spear for driving growth.  Whether you are an expert in computer vision, have a passion for NLP, love playing with Graph we would really like to hear from you.  We also believe all sector experience has something to offer, so whether you are Telco or FS, Consumer Products or Utilities, it will all add to the richness of services we can offer our clients. 


Your Responsibilities

We are looking to bring in talented people like you across all our grades.  No day would be ‘typical’, but you could expect to be involved in some or all of the activities listed below during the course of your career:

·  Supporting the pursuit of new work through client conversations and presentations
·  Research & development in support of new AI based offerings

Skills & Attributes for Success

Clearly your technical expertise is welcomed and expected, but we are also looking for your experience and guidance to drive the right solution and approach for the problem at hand.  To be transformative, we often have to go after the ‘too hard’ business problem, which requires our people to be creative and really challenge themselves to deliver.  We want you to be thinking how you can apply your knowledge and push yourself to learn more in order to solve the difficult stuff.

 

If you have some or all of the below, then get in touch:

·  Strong inter-personal, collaborative & team player skills
·  Professional experience in delivery of advanced analytics/DS/AI projects
·  Excellent understanding of mathematical, probability & statistics principles, and of algorithm theory

Whilst we are looking for machine learning experts, we aren’t looking for machines; what we need is your human IQ and EQ to be part of our high performing team.  Success isn’t achieved from a cookie cutter template, nor from re-inventing the wheel every time, rather it’s a combination of balancing the innovation and industrialisation experience you can bring.
