About this task
This digital media company in education (11–50 employees) is looking for a senior Data Scientist for a paid one-hour session with a senior specialist. A senior data scientist's view on one decision.
The company has one decision to take and wants a senior view before it does. It publishes content on a schedule, so editorial deadlines are fixed.
The work is fully remote. Any location in United Kingdom works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. The call is booked at a time that suits you, evenings included.
What you deliver
- Review a start-up's data plan and answer three questions on what to build first and what to buy.
- One focused hour, with the questions sent to you the day before
- Pointers to sources you relied on, so the company can check them
- A short written summary of the advice within 24 hours after the session
How the work runs
- Day 1: scope confirmed in writing, files shared
- Middle of the period: draft shared for early feedback
- Last day: final version and handover note
Duration: One session of about an hour. Accepted after the walkthrough. Edits requested within three working days are part of the price.
