Lead Data Scientist

Lead Data Scientist - ML & AI-Powered Risk Intelligence!

• Join a global AI business with the mindset and ambition of a startup

• Build cutting-edge machine learning solutions with real commercial impact

• Fast-track your career towards leading Data Science in Ireland and building your own team

An exciting opportunity has opened for a Data Scientist to join a global technology organisation developing next-generation AI-powered risk intelligence solutions. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who wants to build, innovate and take ownership in a fast-moving technology environment.

The business is investing in AI and machine learning to transform how organisations understand and manage financial, cyber, operational, ESG and compliance risk. You’ll have the opportunity to build models, develop data pipelines and turn complex datasets into intelligent products used by global enterprise clients.

Working closely with Product, Engineering and Data teams, you’ll have the freedom to challenge existing approaches, experiment with new technologies and take ideas from concept through to production. This is an opportunity to make a tangible impact on the product, influence technical direction and help shape how AI is developed and deployed across the business.

What makes this opportunity particularly exciting is the potential for rapid progression into a leadership role. Rather than joining a large, established Data Science department with a fixed career path, you’ll have the opportunity to help build the function in Ireland as the business grows. For an ambitious Data Scientist with a startup mindset, this could be the opportunity to progress towards leading Data Science, shaping the technical roadmap, hiring your own team and taking ownership of the function.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Fast-track to leadership: A genuine opportunity to progress towards leading the Data Science function in Ireland as the business scales

• Build your own team: Help shape the future team, establish best practices and develop a high-performing Data Science capability

• Startup mentality, global reach: Enjoy the ownership, autonomy and pace of a growing technology business with global enterprise customers

• End-to-end ownership: Take projects from initial experimentation and data preparation through to production deployment

• Influence product strategy: Work directly with Product and Engineering to turn innovative AI concepts into commercially valuable solutions

• Accelerate your career: Develop your technical expertise while gaining exposure to strategic decision-making and future people leadership

• Equity upside: Join a business where you can contribute to its growth and benefit from an equity package

What You Bring

• Experience in Data Science or Machine Learning, with strong Python skills

• Strong SQL, database and data engineering fundamentals

• Experience deploying machine learning models into production

• Ambition to grow beyond an individual contributor role and progress into technical and people leadership

Package & Benefits

• Up to €100,000 base salary

• Up to 15% annual bonus

• Equity package

• Fully remote role based in Dublin, Ireland

• Opportunity for accelerated career progression towards leading the Data Science function in Ireland and building your own team
