Data Scientist

Think about a big decision you’ve had to make, like picking a high school subject, or buying your first car. Usually when we make these big choices, we want to have as much information (or data) about each option, so that we know what we’re investing our time, effort and money into. 

When it comes to the big choices we make with our money, like opening a savings account, getting into new investments, running a business, or buying your first home, you’ll probably look for a bank which is able to give you the best information, support and advice you can get. 

All these big decisions are powered by data, and modern banks such as CommBank can collect millions of pieces of data every single day – such as transaction statements that can tell you about how your money goes in and out of your account. They use this data to help make decisions and solve problems, as well as helping to support our customers to make better financial decisions. 

To handle all of this important data, banks have teams of dedicated Data Scientists, whose job it is to collect, clean, analyse and visualise this data to help provide better insights and advice for customers.
