We are recruiting for the newest member of our Data Science team. If you have a passion for using advanced analytics and data science to drive data‑informed decisions, then this could be the role for you.
The Lead Data Scientist is a pivotal role, where you’ll be responsible for using advanced analytics and data science to promote data-led decision making across the Society. You’ll provide thought leadership to a range of stakeholders and take a proactive approach to encouraging the right outcomes from your analysis.
You’ll use your experience to identify opportunities and make recommendations that deliver return on investment, improve customer engagement, and support more efficient running of the organisation.
As a senior member of our Data Science team, you’ll mentor and support colleagues to deliver our data and analytics strategy. You’ll balance being hands‑on with data with being a key contact and role model for the wider team.
Not just another building society. Not just another job.
We're the fourth biggest building society in the UK, and what makes us different is that we're a mutual organisation. We don't have shareholders; we're owned by our members.
Our colleagues say Skipton is a great place to work — and you could be one of them, bringing fresh ideas on how we can continue to keep customers at the heart of what we do.
Whatever your background and whatever your goals, we’ll help you take the next step towards a better future.
You will also be joining us at an exciting time for our Data Capability function. Our aspiration is to create a single, joined‑up Data and Intelligence platform where everything related to data sits in one place, enabling clear ownership, better decision‑making and full end‑to‑end control of the data lifecycle. To achieve this, we are bringing together the core elements of our data capability: reporting (what’s happening), analytics (why it’s happening), data science (what’s likely to happen next), data governance (how we work safely, consistently and responsibly) and data engineering.
Skipton values work/life balance, and we’re proud to support hybrid and flexible working where possible. Our newly refurbished head office offers a vibrant and collaborative workspace.
We have a range of other benefits available to you including:
