Staff Data Scientist – Credit & Marketplace

Up to $280k base + significant equity

New York | In‑office (3-4 days/week)

We’re partnering with a Series A fintech building a credit‑led marketplace – a platform where data science sits at the heart of both credit decisioning and marketplace optimisation.

This is a rare opportunity to join at a stage where models are still being defined, not inherited. The team is hiring a Senior to Staff‑level Data Scientist to help shape the decision engine that determines who gets access to credit, how risk is priced, and how the marketplace allocates supply and demand.

They’re open to two backgrounds – but only at the very top end of the market:

  • Credit / lending data scientists
  • Elite marketplace data scientists (pricing, ranking, matching, experimentation)
  • ✅ Successful Series A (o similar) experience is strongly preferred

Why This Role Is Different

Most DS roles optimise metrics. This one moves money. Your models will directly impact:

  • Credit approval decisions
  • Pricing and margin
  • Portfolio performance and growth velocity

This is not a reporting or support role – it’s a core decision‑making seat for someone with a high grade ML / Data Science skillset.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, build and iterate on credit underwriting and pricing models used in live production
  • Tackle high‑stakes, constrained optimisation problems across credit and marketplace decisioning
  • Apply causal and experimental thinking where clean A/B tests aren’t possible
  • Own the full lifecycle: EDA → modelling → deployment, partnering closely with engineering
  • Help define modelling standards, trade‑offs, and decision frameworks at an early stage

Who They’re Looking For

  • Staff‑level Data Scientist
  • Strong preference for successful Series A (or early Series B) experience
  • Background in credit, lending, fintech, BNPL, or adjacent decisioning‑heavy domains like marketplace
  • PhD or PhD‑level rigour strongly preferred (but not required if experience demonstrates depth)
  • Strong Python & SQL; comfortable owning production‑facing logic
  • Someone who thrives in ambiguity, speed, and ownership

Compensation & Logistics

  • Base salary up to $280k (depending on level)
  • Significant equity
  • NYC based, 3-4 days in office
  • No visa sponsorship
  • If you’ve already helped scale a Series A company – and want to do it again with real ownership and influence – this is a rare opportunity.

Clinical Data Scientist

Redwood City, CA (Hybrid potentially remote options)

Salary: $140,000-$180,000

No Sponsorship Available

About the Role

We are seeking a Clinical Data Scientist to play a pivotal role in transforming complex clinical datasets into high‑quality, analysis‑ready outputs used to support clinical trials and real‑world evidence initiatives.

In this role, you will operate at the intersection of data science, clinical research, and statistical programming. You’ll be responsible for validating, cleaning, and structuring data originating from multiple sources-including expert manual abstraction teams, AI‑assisted pipelines, EMR feeds, and EDC systems.

You’ll collaborate closely with Clinical Operations, Data Engineering, and AI/ML teams to ensure accuracy, traceability, and compliance across every dataset delivered internally or externally.

This role is ideal for someone who is detail‑obsessed, technically versatile, and passionate about elevating the quality of clinical data used in drug development.

What You’ll Do

  • Convert raw, manually abstracted, and AI‑processed datasets into standardized formats (e.g., CDISC SDTM/ADaM) or client‑specific data models.
  • Ensure outputs meet quality, compliance, and traceability standards.
  • Generate TLFs (Tables, Listings, Figures) for clinical reports and interim analyses using R or Python.
  • Perform robust data cleaning and QC checks.
  • Investigate anomalies and troubleshoot issues across the data pipeline.
  • Distinguish between upstream extraction issues and true clinical variations.
  • Partner with Data Platform and AI teams to automate cleaning scripts, validations, and workflow logic.
  • Serve as an early user and feedback partner for internal data tools.
  • Maintain documentation for data derivations, specifications, and validation logic (e.g., Define.xml, Reviewers Guides).
  • Support compliance and regulatory submission needs.
  • Complete internal and external analysis requests to support clinical insights, client value, and platform performance.
  • Apply HIPAA-aligned data safeguards and adhere to best practices across privacy, security, and data governance.

What You Bring

  • Education:
  • BSc/MSc in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Life Sciences, or related field.
  • Experience:
  • 2-5+ years in clinical data science, statistical programming, or data management in pharma/biotech.
  • Technical Strengths:
  • SAS, R, Python, SQL
  • Experience with Git/version control preferred
  • Industry Knowledge:
  • Familiarity with clinical trial workflows
  • Strong understanding of CDISC SDTM/ADaM
  • Oncology endpoints (RECIST, survival) and RWD experience is a plus
  • Data Wrangling:
  • Comfort “stitching together” messy, real‑world clinical datasets
  • Experience with unstructured text or NLP outputs is desirable
  • Soft Skills:
  • Exceptional attention to detail
  • Clear, structured communicator
  • Proactive, self‑directed, collaborative

Sirector Data Scientce – GTM Strategy & Predictive Analytics

United States | New York

$230,000 – $250,000 base + $25,000-$75,000 bonus

Harnham is partnering with a highly regarded GTM strategy consultancy that works with some of the world’s most sophisticated B2B organisations across SaaS, enterprise technology, and Private Equity portfolios.

They are hiring a Data Science Lead to sit at the heart of client delivery – owning predictive modelling, setting analytical standards, and acting as a trusted advisor to senior commercial leaders.

This is a senior, hands‑on “player‑coach” role for someone who combines consulting‑grade communication, deep statistical modelling expertise, and a strong understanding of go‑to‑market, sales, and revenue problems.

The Role

You will split your time across client delivery, technical leadership, and methodology development, including:

  • Leading complex predictive analytics workstreams across GTM use cases (segmentation, targeting, churn, forecasting, pricing, quota optimisation, marketing effectiveness)
  • Acting as the quality bar for modelling and statistical rigor across the team
  • Translating analytical outputs into clear, executive‑ready recommendations
  • Leading and guiding a team of data scientists (7-10)
  • Developing reusable analytical frameworks and IP
  • Supporting business development as a technical expert (no independent selling)

This role is delivery‑led – you will be directly involved in the most complex client problems while advising across the broader portfolio.

What We’re Looking For

This role has no room for weaknesses in the core areas below:

Consulting & Communication (Non‑negotiable)

  • Polished, confident communicator
  • Comfortable on senior client calls
  • Able to explain modelling choices and trade‑offs without over‑engineering

Predictive Modelling & Statistics

  • Strong Python (pandas, scikit‑learn, stats libraries)
  • Proven experience with regression, classification, clustering, forecasting, experimentation, causal methods
  • Solid statistical foundation (maths, statistics, economics or similar undergrad strongly preferred)
  • R experience is a plus

Commercial / GTM Domain Expertise

  • Hands‑on experience with GTM, Sales, RevOps, Marketing or Revenue Analytics
  • Familiarity with CRM, pipeline, account‑level and marketing data
  • Able to connect modelling decisions directly to revenue impact

Background

  • 4-10 years in data science / analytics
  • Experience in consulting, PE value creation, financial services analytics, or high growth B2B environments
  • Prior leadership or player‑coach experience required

Why This Opportunity

  • Shape and scale a growing data science capability
  • Work on high‑impact commercial problems, not product feature optimisation
  • High visibility with senior consulting and client leadership
  • Entrepreneurial, intellectually rigorous environment

If you are a consulting‑grade data science specialist who enjoys solving commercial problems with statistical rigour, this is a rare opportunity.
