Beating complex data challenges
As Data Scientist at Newcraft you’ll guide leading brands in becoming fully data-driven.
You leverage your extensive knowledge and experience in data science to create impact and help our clients grow. You’re not just responsible for guiding complex projects at our clients, but you also act as a thought leader on data science. Both for our clients and your colleagues.
Team Data Science
Newcraft Data Science helps clients in defining and developing the right data solutions. We’re actively involved in helping our clients develop their data maturity and make data a more effective asset within their organisation.
We do this by identifying their current level of maturity and what solution would fit best. That could be a redesign of their data framework, thorough data analyses to identify opportunities, or develop more advanced machine learning based models.
The team consists of highly skilled people that keep an eye on the long-term vision and understand what clients need to create new opportunities. We cooperate closely with digital specialists and act as a sparring partner at top level. The team enjoys working in a creative atmosphere and encourages experimentation and innovation.
