Overview Working with employers, we provide a financial wellbeing platform as an employee benefit, helping employees to understand their money better, get out of debt faster and save for their future. We already have a reach of circa 4,000,000 employees through our relationships with over 500 of the largest employers in the UK. By improving employee financial wellbeing, we have a very real and meaningful impact on people's lives. We remove the stress and worry associated with financial difficulties by dramatically reducing the interest rates employees pay on their personal debt, and provide them with the tools needed to start saving sooner and be more financially secure. We are backed by some of the biggest brands, including investments from Blenheim Chalcot (the UK's leading venture builder), Legal and General (the FTSE 100 insurer and asset manager), Experian and Goldman Sachs, and funding partnerships with JP Morgan and Blue Owl. Launched in 2015, we have made excellent progress, and are scaling fast. We have been named BITC's Responsible Business of Year, included in KPMG's Global Fintech 100, listed top of the Forbes' list of socially-responsible startups, and profiled by the Financial Times, the Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, the Telegraph, CityAM and the Institute of Directors. Your role in our mission We are looking for an exceptional Data Science Manager to lead our Data Science and Decision Systems teams. Reporting to the Chief Product Officer, you will be responsible for shaping strategy and mentoring the team, while remaining hands-on with project delivery. In 2026, you and the team will focus on optimising our core lending product. You will work closely with the Credit Risk and Collections teams to deliver new scorecards, build collections models, and refactor our decision engine - initiatives that contribute directly to improving our unit economics and scalability. From 2027, the focus will shift to expansion and innovation. As the team grows to support other parts of the business, your role will evolve into a more managerial position focused on setting strategy and supporting team members. Your stakeholder set will also broaden to include Product, Engineering, and Enterprise Data teams as you tackle topics such as marketing attribution, predictive models for our wider product set, and defining new measures for customer financial wellbeing. What you'll do Lead the delivery of our Data Science roadmap, including the development of new credit risk scorecards, collections models, and the refactoring of our Decision Engine. Initially dedicate 50% of your time to hands-on delivery (modelling and analysis), with this proportion decreasing as the team and scope expand in 2027. Own the architecture and deployment processes for the Decision Engine, ensuring high availability, minimising operational risk, and managing technical debt. Introduce and enforce best practices in modelling, engineering, and governance to ensure technical excellence across the Data Science team. Provide expert mentorship to the team, fostering individual growth and helping them navigate complex technical challenges. Promote a data-driven approach to problems across the business, championing the Data Science team through excellent communication. Collaborate with Credit Risk, Collections, and Product stakeholders to translate business objectives into technical requirements. Shape the future strategy for the Data Science function, preparing the team to pivot toward marketing attribution and financial wellbeing innovation in the long term. About you Experience: You have 5+ years of experience in Data Science or similar analytical roles, with a proven track record of delivering value, preferably in financial services and / or credit risk Leadership: You have experience managing teams and you are capable of mentoring juniors and representing Data Science to senior stakeholders.

Nice to have R language skills: Our existing decision engine is written in R. As such, the ability to read and interpret R code will be valuable as you lead the refactoring effort into Python. Scale-up experience: You have succeeded in fast-paced scale-up environments. Model governance: You have had experience with setting up or managing formal model governance frameworks (e.g. model monitoring, documentation standards). Deep Learning and AI: You are well-versed in LLMs and GenAI, and know how to best apply their use to drive business value.

Responsible, and want to help build a business that delivers a meaningful difference to society. Dedicated and want to commit to an exciting journey even through the highs and lows. Empathetic and truly care about every colleague and customer. United, because you understand we achieve more when we work as a team. Humble, and take feedback as a way to continuously improve.

Introduction Echo Labs is building the scientific, and technical foundation for ecological intelligence: a multimodal system to measure, model, and forecast Ecosystem Condition as a dynamic property. We are a collaborative and interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers engaged in a planetary moonshot - with a public good mission, operating like a start up. We are a new Focused Research Organization (FRO) supported by Convergent Research and funded by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency to pursue high-risk, high-reward science in the public interest. About this role The Chief Science Officer (CSO) anchors this effort in scientific rigour, ecological credibility, and long-term legitimacy and plays a decisive role in ensuring that this infrastructure is scientifically sound and transformative. The CSO is responsible for ensuring that Echo's data, models, and interpretations faithfully reflect state-of-the-art ecological science while enabling bold, operational innovation. This role bridges fundamental ecology, field methods, and applied modelling, translating ecological theory into scalable, decision-grade infrastructure. This is a high-leverage role: you'll lead Echo's ecology vertical and relationship with the ecology community. The CSO reports to the CEO and works in close partnership with the Chief Technology Officer and Director of Product & Partnerships as a core member of Echo's executive leadership team. Core Responsibilities Conceptual Framework: Own and continuously refine Echo's scientific framing of Ecosystem Condition, grounded in ECT+/SEEA typologies and current ecological theory. Ensure scientific defensibility, interpretability, and transparency of Echo's outputs for the academic community, policymakers, and external partners. Set standards for scientific validation, benchmarking, and uncertainty characterisation across the programme. Data Strategy and Analytical Direction: Lead the identification, evaluation, and strategic use of existing ecological and Earth-observation datasets, determining when external data can accelerate progress versus when new data generation is essential. Set the analytical direction for how existing datasets are integrated, stress-tested, or rejected, including defining appropriate benchmarks, comparators, and limitations. Guide early in-silico analyses to inform sampling design, modelling priorities, and go/no-go decisions, ensuring resources are focused on data and approaches with the highest scientific leverage. Establish criteria for reuse, interoperability, and alignment of legacy datasets with Echo's Ecosystem Condition framework, avoiding dependence on datasets that are ecologically misaligned or methodologically brittle. Ecological Data Generation: Lead scientific oversight of Echo's sampling architecture, ensuring ecological sensitivity and robustness. Guide methodological choices across in-situ data streams (eDNA, acoustics, vegetation structure, soil health, hydrology, etc.). Oversee ecological QA/QC, signal separability testing, and temporal sensitivity to disturbance and recovery. Modelling Integration and Ecological Interpretability: Work hand-in-hand with the CTO and ML leads to ensure ecological meaning is preserved in latent representations ("ecosystem fingerprints") and predictive models. Validate that modelling choices align with ecological processes, scales, and constraints rather than spurious correlations. Champion explainability and ecological interpretability of model outputs. Scientific Leadership, Governance and External Engagement: Act as Echo's senior scientific representative to the ecological research community. Build trust and adoption through workshops, advisory engagement, and transparent publication of methods, data, and results. Shape Echo's contribution to emerging standards in ecological monitoring, modelling, and data governance. Interface with the Science Advisory Board, translating feedback into operational scientific decisions. Progression. In six months you will have Established an internal scientific definition of Ecosystem Condition, aligned with ECT+/SEEA and explicitly scoped to what Echo will and will not measure. Audited existing ecological data to identify usable signals, inferable dynamics, and critical gaps, guiding early go/no-go decisions on new data collection. Set clear priorities for early models and metrics, focusing on a small number of high-leverage downstream tasks rather than solving everything at once. Designed an initial metric and model architecture, including decisions on single vs. multi-layer representations and a strategy for ecological interpretability. Led internal and external scientific workshops to align sampling, modelling, and core scientific questions, resulting in shared buy-in and a v1 sampling design. Produced foundational scientific artifacts, including a v1 Ecosystem Condition framework, data-to-signal mapping, interpretability plan, and a scientific risk register. We Offer (Amazing Benefits) A rare chance to build institutional architecture for frontier science and work with some of the smartest and most talented experts from different fields. Up to a 6% employer pension contribution, with optional additional salary sacrifice, because future-you deserves comfort. Top-tier private medical and dental insurance-are fully covered for you and your dependents. Stay healthy, my friend. Generous parental leave-20 weeks make-whole-pay for both parents. 25 days of holiday allowance. Wellness allowance for fitness and wellness activities. Profile (You Are) PhD (or equivalent) in ecology, ecosystem science, environmental science, or a closely related field. Deep understanding of ecosystem functioning, resilience, or biodiversity dynamics, ideally across multiple spatial scales. Familiarity with ecological modelling, including interaction with machine learning. Strong basis in advanced statistical methods. Proven background in rigorous experimental design. Demonstrated experience designing, interpreting, or overseeing field-based ecological data collection. Track record of interdisciplinary collaboration across ecology, data science, and engineering. Exceptional scientific judgement and communication skills, with the ability to translate complexity into clarity. Highly organised and outcome-focused, with experience structuring workplans, prioritising trade-offs, and driving progress across interdisciplinary teams under time and resource constraints. Highly Valued Experience Experience working with multimodal ecological datasets (e.g. combining field data with Earth observation). Prior involvement in large-scale or national ecological monitoring programmes. Experience engaging with policy, regulatory, or applied decision-making contexts. Familiarity with FAIR + CARE data principles or ecological data governance. Leadership roles in collaborative or mission-driven research initiatives. Demonstrated ability to translate scientific vision into delivered products or platforms, with experience taking complex research programmes from concept through execution against clear timelines and milestones. Track record of operating in delivery-oriented environments (e.g. research infrastructure builds, applied science programmes, or mission-driven organisations) where scientific ambition is matched with disciplined execution. Outro We're bringing together top talent from academia, industry, and startups to build a new model for innovative R&D. We are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. We believe in hiring individuals based on their unique talents-not on race, color, religion, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law or our company policies. We are more than a proud Equal Employment Opportunity employer. Our goal is to foster a healthy, safe, and respectful environment where all employees are valued and treated with dignity. 100000 - 130000 GBP a year Title commensurate with experience: CSO / Director of Ecological research Bonus: Performance-based
