You want to build your data skills somewhere your work is actually used.
We are looking for a Data Scientist to join our Marketing team, working alongside data professionals who will help you turn what you learned in your studies into real, applied skill.
This is a genuine graduate opportunity. You will support the models, pipelines, and dashboards that shape how we understand and grow our fanbase, learning directly from people who have done this for years.

Who We're Looking For

Strong foundation in SQL and Python
Exposure to data pipelines like dbt or Dataform
Some experience with cloud platforms, ideally BigQuery
Interest in marketing, CRM or fan behaviour data
Clear communicator, keen to present findings
