Northampton
As a Barclays Junior Data Scientist, you will be responsible for delivering projects from business proposal to the final product. You will utilize a combination of computing, data, and statistics to understand employee behaviors, as well as to improve our work environment and employee experience to help colleagues achieve their aspirations. You will also work on surveys, ad hoc reports and analysis from HR datasets. Participating in retrospectives, you will be involved into creation of strategy and stand ups, helping to develop the team.
Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, with 329 years of success, quality, and innovation behind us. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.
We are currently in the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment, which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role they are in. We’re flexible on how this works and it may continue to change and evolve. Depending on your team, typically this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month or a quarter. However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. We also have a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances. Please discuss the detail of the working pattern options for the role with the hiring manager.
