Title: Data Scientist
Full-Time (37.5hrs per week)

Job Purpose
Are you passionate about applying your data science skills to help others? Would you like to work on a variety of projects for global players such as The World Bank and World Health Organisation to improve health outcomes; as well as helping governments achieve their ambitions to halve road deaths by 2030?
We are a successful business specialising in transport data and safety with a team of around 20 people led by its passionate directors. We have delivered projects leveraging data science and big data to inform investments and direct policy both home and abroad. Based in Oxfordshire we work with clients from many different sectors to help understand emerging issues and develop solutions. Hopefully you can join our team and work alongside other passionate experts to make people’s lives safer.
We are moving in exciting directions and are expanding our team with a need for someone to manage existing work and develop new areas. The person joining us will work alongside our Data Engineer, Technical Director, CTO, Analytics Manager, and other team members with significant historic experience of the data we use.
You should have a passion for data science with practical experience of tools such as R Studio including R Markdown, Shiny, Quarto, PostgreSQL, PostGIS or others. Our development has been focussed through R for the last five years so experience here is essential. You will be responsible for maintaining reproducible analytical pipelines, automating and documenting processes, supporting applications and solving new problems. We have many well-documented processes and applications which means you will be ready to get going from day one.
There are other skills we value too. Perhaps you have wider programming skills with other languages or have delivered front-end solutions? You could have significant data management experience using PostgreSQL and experience in managing data platforms hosted via AWS or Azure. You could even have geospatial analysis skills with experience of software such as ArcGIS or qGIS.
As a passionate and dynamic team, we want to make sure that our next appointment is a great fit for our company. You will, of course, be great at working with a team of enthusiastic experts, but also be driven by your own work and responsibilities, taking pride in delivering innovative solutions to support the team and our clients.
We don’t expect candidates to have experience of our sector, although exposure to transport data including road networks, administrative geographies, incident information and surveys will be helpful. A passion for data and ‘place’ along with demonstrable experience of delivering change within organisations will set you apart from the crowd.
Our team adopt hybrid working practices with everyone spending significant time in our Banbury office. The right working pattern for you can be discussed at interview and reviewed regularly during your appointment, but we do expect you to attend the office for at least half of the week as you learn from the experts in the team.

About Agilysis Ltd
Agilysis was setup by an experienced team with a background in transport safety. Through our work with Road Safety Analysis (an associated company) all of us gained an incredible amount of experience in areas of analytics, networks, data visualisation, evaluation, intervention design, and behaviour change. Although Agilysis only formed in 2017 the team have been together for a long time (around 18 years). Our shared history and associated companies provides great strength and experience. Agilysis is the lead delivery vehicle to products and services, especially when it comes to research, evaluation, reporting and analytics. Our focus is not limited to a narrow sector and we are growing our expertise in public health, transport, and behaviour change. As both researchers and practitioners in social marketing we are in a perfect position to act as translators for our clients. We are absolutely focused on understanding ‘what works’, using evidence from all available data sources, as well as published research. We also understand the practical requirements of those delivering training, campaigns and public relations exercises. Our principles are therefore directed towards ensuring that realistic, effective interventions can deliver outputs and outcomes for clients.
