About us:

At Barclays, our aim is to build the leading Decision Science team in the industry. We’ve brought together risk specialists from across our business to create a centre of excellence for our UK Retail Banking operation. The team covers everything from developing decision science models and analytics, through delivering systems, data and MI, to Six Sigma process re-engineering and governance. We’re looking for people who share their high level of expertise and ambition. If you want to be at the forefront of Decision Science, part of a group using advanced techniques to grow our portfolios in size and profitability, you should join us now.

About the challenge:

Using your advanced mathematical modelling skills, you’ll develop models across the Group to support business decisions at all points of the credit cycle, including prospect targeting and acquisition, exposure management and ongoing customer management. This will involve developing predictive models and their associated documentation, and providing support for the models’ implementation and use. From the start, you’ll develop models for all our retail portfolios, including loans, current accounts, mortgages and local business. You’ll also collect relevant customer data from the bank’s internal MI systems, and analyse and interpret it using statistical packages such as SAS. We’ll expect you to generate the utmost value from improved decisions, work to continuously improve modelling techniques, and engage key stakeholders across the bank so that you meet their needs and help drive the business forward.


About you:

A graduate in statistics, mathematics, operations research or a related discipline, you have significant experience in data analysis and predictive modelling, using packages such as SAS or SPSS. Passionate about data analysis and the business benefits it can bring, you are skilled at solving complex business problems in innovative and practical ways. You are also a strategic thinker, who can focus on the whole portfolio of activities, as well as their value generation. A strong communicator, you present your findings and ideas in ways that technical and non-technical audiences understand.
