Work with Gamechangers

We are looking for someone who is passionate about managing a team that turns the raw material of unstructured data into a digestible form to deliver to multiple stakeholders - Data Science, Research and Strategy, and, of course, our top-notch roster of clients.

• At least 1 year of experience managing and developing a technical team
• You will have some experience working in a data-driven organisation on data management and processing, as well as analysis, preferably in a fast-paced environment.
• You will be organised and have a keen eye for data quality
• You have experience building processes designed to improve efficiency end to end.
• Prior experience with data visualisation is a nice to have.
• Start-up attitude – You have to be comfortable in a rapidly changing environment, working with limited resources, and delivering high-quality work at the speed which is necessary for successful business growth. You’ll be a self-starter who doesn’t need much guidance, who can think fast on their feet and are ready to pivot when required.
