A well-known global brand is looking for a standout Senior Data Scientist for a 6-month contract role based in Melbourne with flexible hybrid working.
This is your chance to step into a commercially impactful project that’s helping shape how machine learning and AI are embedded across the business. It’s not just another data science role — this is about influence, curiosity, and connecting tech to outcomes that matter.

What Makes This Role Different?

You’ll be working with some of the best in the industry, surrounded by a high-performing, curious, and collaborative team. This project sits at the heart of the company’s broader transformation strategy, and your input will directly inform how ML and AI are deployed across multiple business functions — from product and marketing to operations and customer experience.
It’s a role for someone who not only lives and breathes the technical work, but who also knows that asking the right commercial questions and building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders is where real impact happens.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Shaping and delivering AI/ML initiatives that align with the company’s strategic goals
• Partnering with senior leaders across the business to uncover opportunities and embed intelligent solutions
• Translating complex modelling into actionable commercial insight
• Collaborating with other top-tier data scientists and technical teams to deliver real-time, scalable ML models
• Playing a key role in defining how AI supports business decision-making — both now and into the future

What You’ll Bring

• Experience with Python and ML tools/libraries (e.g., pandas, scikit-learn, TensorFlow)
• Experience in deploying and managing models in production environments
• Outstanding soft skills — confident communicator, active listener, able to bridge tech and business worlds
• Commercial acumen — you get the "why" behind the "what" and ask the questions others miss
• Comfortable operating at pace and in ambiguity, with a clear eye on business value
• Proven experience engaging with senior stakeholders in large or complex organisations

Why Apply?

• Be part of a game-changing initiative with visibility at the top levels of a global business
• Work in a collaborative, curious, and high-calibre team
• Flexibility to work hybrid from a Melbourne base
• Immediate start – make your mark from day one
• Competitive day rate and high-impact opportunity
