About Creditsafe
Since launching in Oslo in 1997, Creditsafe has grown into a global leader in business and consumer data, empowering organisations to make better decisions. We believe in innovation, collaboration, and making complex data accessible and actionable—supported by a culture where everyone can bring their whole selves to work.

The Team
You’ll join an experienced project team working on an ambitious consumer information initiative. Together, we cover a broad range of work—from detailed analysis and coding to designing data logic and building new products that solve real business challenges.

Your Role
As a Data Analyst / Data Scientist, you’ll have a large degree of ownership over your work. Projects will span from low-level data analysis and problem solving to designing processes that address complex business problems and ultimately support product development.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of key building blocks in the strategic roadmap: deeply understand data sources, analyse them to solve business problems, code the solution, and work with the tech team to implement and test.

  • Work alongside, and learn from, industry subject matter experts in analytics, tech, and product to deliver meaningful outcomes.

  • Maintain high standards of data quality and accuracy at all times.

Skills & Experience

Essential Skills and Experience

  • PRodxperience in the UK consumer credit industry in a hands-on analytical role.

  • Strong SQL and Python skills (including Pandas).

  • Deep understanding of credit industry data sources, including data shared with and returned by credit bureaus.

  • Knowledge of UK regulatory frameworks, including FCA guidelines, that govern data processing and credit decisions.

  • Clear and logical communicator—open, honest, and able to present analysis effectively.

Desirable Skills

  • Familiarity with cloud services for data storage, processing, and analytics (AWS preferred).

  • Experience with data warehouse architectures and data governance best practices.

  • Prior use of common tools such as Git, Jira, and Unix environments.

Personal Attributes

  • Natural problem-solver with an instinct for working with data.

  • Good organisational skills and ability to manage multiple tasks.

  • Commitment to continuous learning and professional development.

Accessibility & Adjustments
We are happy to make adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process to support your needs—please let us know what works best for you. This could include:

  • Extra time or flexibility during interviews

  • Screen reader–accessible formats

  • Written rather than verbal communication

  • Remote options for assessments

We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
We are committed to equity and inclusion and happy to discuss adjustments such as flexible interview formats, extra processing time, or alternative communication methods to support your needs.

Pre-Employment Checks for Data Science Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in data science reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of statistical analysis, machine learning innovation, and strategic business intelligence. Data scientists often have privileged access to comprehensive datasets, proprietary algorithms, and business-critical insights that form the foundation of organisational strategy and competitive positioning. The data science industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning GDPR, sector-specific data protection requirements, and emerging AI governance regulations. Data scientists must demonstrate not only technical competence in statistical modelling and machine learning but also deep understanding of research ethics, data privacy principles, and the societal implications of algorithmic decision-making. Modern data science roles frequently involve analysing personally identifiable information, financial data, healthcare records, and sensitive business intelligence across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks simultaneously. The combination of analytical privilege, predictive capabilities, and strategic influence makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, security, and public trust in data-driven insights and automated systems.
