Full time (Nominally on-site 5 days)

We have an exciting opportunity for a Data Scientist to be a Section Lead in our Service Data Investigation team which specialises in the creation of data science solutions to support in-service products.

As the Data Scientist Section Lead you will oversee the performance management and strategic direction of the Data Investigations team while supporting the successful delivery of data science projects that support operational efficiency and decision-making. You will regularly engage with the data scientists, engineers, software developers and many other disciplines within Rolls-Royce promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing to ensure high value solutions are delivered by the team.

Why Rolls-Royce?

Rolls-Royce is one of the most enduring and iconic brands in the world and has been at the forefront of innovation for over a century. We design, build and service systems that provide critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount.

We are proud to be a force for progress, powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.

We want to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that has shaped our history continues into our future and we need people like you to come and join us on this journey.

This role is situated within our Service Data Centre department that focusses on leveraging in-service data to enhance operational efficiency and support the development of innovative solutions.

We’ll provide an environment of caring and belonging where you can be yourself. An inclusive, innovative culture that invests in you, gives you access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities where you can grow your career and make a difference.

In this role you will have the opportunity to learn how Rolls-Royce Submarines supports the Royal Navy submarine fleet, collaborate with diverse stakeholders, understand their challenges, and assist in delivering valuable solutions.  You will lead a skilled team of data scientists in a collaborative and agile environment with opportunities to develop technical, leadership and other soft skills.  It’s a great opportunity to grow your expertise while making valuable contributions to the business.

What we offer:

We offer excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.

Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home, or another remote location.  It’s a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement.  As a minimum we’re all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.

What you will be doing:

In this exciting opportunity, you will play a pivotal role in driving the success of our products by:

  • Lead and Manage Team Performance: Overseeing the performance management, development, and well-being of your team. You will be accountable for the delivery performance of the SDC Data Investigations team and ensure that team members are supported in their professional growth.
  • Pipeline Development: Maintain and develop a pipeline of future data science opportunities, ensuring that the team is aligned with business needs and objectives.  Work is primarily managed using the Agile Kanban methodology.
  • Service Request Management: Oversee the management and delivery of ad-hoc service requests to support emergent queries and issues, ensuring that projects are completed on time and meet the necessary standards.
  • Promote Process Compliance: Emphasise process compliance within the team, particularly focusing on procedures relevant to data science and analytics projects to enhance quality and efficiency.
  • Collaborate Across Functions: Engage with other Service Data Centre Section Leads and Group Leads to ensure that business, team goals, and objectives are continually met. Your collaborative approach will help foster a culture of teamwork and shared success.

Who we’re looking for:

At Rolls-Royce we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. These principles form the behaviours that guide us and are an essential component of our assessment process. They are the fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

To succeed in this role, we are seeking candidates who possess the following attributes and experiences:

  • Experience in Data Science: It is preferable that you have a strong background in data science, with prior experience in a role that involved data analysis, investigation, and project delivery.
  • Leadership and Development Skills: Proven experience in leading teams is preferable. You should have skills in performance management, development, and supporting the well-being of your team members.
  • Strong Communication and Collaboration: Excellent communication skills are essential, enabling you to engage effectively with diverse stakeholders and promote collaboration within the wider data science community.
  • Adaptability and Flexibility: You should be comfortable working in a dynamic environment, able to adapt to changing priorities, and support your team in responding to evolving business needs.
  • Strategic Thinker: You should be able to identify opportunities for improvement and be accountable for the promotion, implementation, and value capture of enhancements delivered by the SDC Analytics team.

We are an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving.

We believe the more diverse perspectives we have, the more successful we’ll be. By building a culture of caring and belonging, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.
