Help us inovate with data

Every time a customer uses one of our apps, buys something, or looks at one of our products online, they generate data. Making great use of that data helps us grow, prepare for the future, and improve lives. That’s where our Data Science and Analytics teams come in.  

Working with some of the UK's largest datasets, covering millions of customers and transactions, they use machine learning, AI, and advanced analytics to create cutting-edge solutions. This provides countless opportunities to improve things for our 22 million digitally active customers. 

Right now, we’re looking for graduates to join these talented, collaborative teams. If you're obsessed with data and its possibilities, this is your moment.
