Data Scientist - Open Source Intelligence for Brands

Only open to Singapore Citizens and Singapore PR

As a Data Scientist at Synthesis you’ll develop models and analytical frameworks designed for the sharpest insights and marketing professionals in the world, helping them prioritise the issues that matter most to their business and spot where the next big change will come from. We aggregate information from open data sources, advocating for the power of data to solve problems for business and for society as a whole, which means you will be running end-to-end analysis guiding the process from data gathering and cleaning through to processing, modelling and visualisation.

You’ll become an expert in layering datasets to build a complete picture of people’s behaviour, working with search, social, advertising & ecommerce datastreams to name just a few. Ours is a spirit of continuous experimentation and plussing: you’ll always be pushing your ideas in collaboration with a team of experienced data scientists around you. We work in tight-knit project teams, meaning you’ll work side by side with cultural strategists to interpret meaning in the data patterns we see and present your work to our client partners, so you see first-hand the impact your work has.
