This is for the brilliant, quirky data humans!

The one who gets unreasonably excited about a beautifully optimised SQL query, a clean ETL pipeline, or a dashboard that actually tells a story.

Our team has a brand‑new Consultant role — perfect for someone who lives at the intersection of:
🔧 Data Engineering (pipelines that don't break = joy)
🧠 Data Science (bonus points if you've ever explained a model using a food analogy)
⚙️ ETL wizardry (you know who you are)
💬 Client magic (translating data into something humans understand)

We're after someone who is:
• Smart (obviously)
• Curious (borderline nosy about how things work)
• Adaptable (new tech? sure, why not)
• A great human (this part really matters)

We are Automotive Business Scientists. We empower our clients to turn overwhelming industry data into discovery, action and measured success. We are unique market leaders because we find and examine possibilities through the clarity of a scientific lens. To solve the toughest client challenges, we need curious, creative and dedicated people to join our team.
