Data Scientist are analytical specialists, responsible for collecting, analysing and interpreting data. This data is then turned into meaningful information that companies can use to improve their businesses.

Data is extracted from a range of sources, using algorithmic, data mining, artificial intelligence, machine learning and other statistical tools.

Data scientists are in popular demand, with companies facing ever more big data, hoping to extract useful information from it and make decisions.
