WHO YOU ARE
This final year 6-month internship position is for a data scientist

things and work collaboratively with colleagues. You believe in
iterative change, experimenting with new approaches, learning and
improving to move forward quickly. Trust between colleagues is
paramount here – you are an individual who can always be trusted to
work in the best interests of all colleagues and to achieve the best
