1 week ago
Team Leader: Data and Analytics As a Lead Data Scientist (Retail Credit), your purpose is to own and advance Capitec’s highest materiality client exposure models, the intelligence that identifies salary deposits with near‑perfect precision and drives credit eligibility and downstream treatments in both batch and real‑time (branch side) pathways. You’ll combine deep research with production pragmatism to evolve our sequence‑type deep learning neural network models, ensuring they remain accurate, explainable, and robust under heavy load and tight SLAs. You’ll shape the analytics behind our enterprise “10 minute flow” (3‑screen journey), turning complex data into simple, trusted decisions for clients and bankers alike. The role spans the full ML and Data Science lifecycles and the people leadership required to execute it well. You will lead a squad of Data Scientists, stewarding model design, feature governance, Model Risk Management grade documentation, approvals, deployment, and continuous monitoring. You’ll partner daily with RCED, delivery teams, and Branch Ops, to keep batch runs and real‑time scoring healthy, documented, and continually improved.

Fluency in Python/SQL, model packaging and service exposure; experience with AWS (SageMaker, Kubernetes, or equivalent cloud), Git/GitHub, and collaborative documentation (Confluence). Proven leadership of 4–5 DS/MLEs, establishing code/review standards, mentoring, and elevating research & engineering practice. Stakeholder management across RCED, Delivery, Branch Ops, and governance forums. Model Risk Management mindset: rigorous documentation, approval pathways, monitoring and retraining. Ability to articulate where and why a model is used, what happens if it drifts and what the risk to clients and the
