• Coach and develop your team, helping them to build their careers at Attest
• Partner with stakeholders across the organisation to help them understand the benefits and limitations of data and modelling
• Stay up to date with Data Science trends and pragmatically determine whether there is scope to test this at Attest or whether it is white noise!

In-person and remote working balance ...

As a company, we aren’t fully remote and place strong emphasis on teams being able to meet, and spend time together in a safe and flexible environment regularly, as well as being able to travel to meet customers when rules and safety considerations permit. We always want to ensure that it is balanced against having a healthy approach to flexible working/working from home and nurturing your life outside of work as well as in work.

With that in mind, we have a permanent office location at 21-33 Great Eastern St, London EC2A 3EJ, where our team spend time together on a weekly basis. We don’t set specific rules, but expect folks to spend time with the team in the office on average 3 days per week.
