Next level in Machine Learning - Senior Data Science Consultant - Amsterdam

Models are an important instrument in this regard. Their services focus on all aspects of the use of models:

• data
• model development
• validation
• policy and strategy

While models form the core of their services, they perceive them as a means rather than an end. Statistics are no substitute for judgment – the decision makers must understand what a model can and cannot do.

Aim: to co-create and tailor a crucial and unique level of oversight and align the models with their client`s strategies.

Location:

Based in central Amsterdam on one of the oldest canals that once formed the financial heart of the city.

Team:

A team of 50 ambitious individuals with quantitative backgrounds in Econometrics, Mathematics, Physics, Data Analytics or Data Engineering. Valuing social interaction (doing fun stuff together) and an informal work environment with much individual freedom.

Their people are the primary reason for their success. Having quantitative backgrounds is key, but also focusing on communications and using a pragmatic approach to find keep-it-simple solutions. “Never go at it alone, involve our clients at each and every step…”

Fun:

Working hard is important, but they don’t take themselves too seriously. They enjoy what they`re doing and have fun when they can.

It is people that matter most;

A close-knit team of craftsmen who are driven by what they do. The combination of their quantitative background, soft skills and “keep it simple” attitude sets them apart.

Their modest size enables them to work closely with their clients in solving complex challenges. It’s about connecting dots. Being an associative thinker, with the ability to remember conversations as well as numbers. Treat your clients as your (favorite) sparring partners but remember to talk about other things that matter - strategically, business proposals, even personal issues.

Involvement:

To optimally benefit from their skills, they actively involve senior consultants at any project. To get a job done effectively they do not only involve architects, also brick layers.

• Risk Governance
