Are you in the early stages of your career and ready to take the next step in developing your analytical skill set?
Then join us at NORDEN as our new Data Scientist in the Quantitative Analytics team based in Copenhagen.
In this role, you will contribute to shaping how data is used in one of the world’s leading shipping companies, applying your interest in markets and data in a real-life trading environment.
You will become part of a small, specialised team that plays a key role in supporting the trading organisation with market insights and decision-making tools. At the intersection of data science and international shipping markets, you will work with extensive, unique datasets to spot patterns, create models and convert data into actionable insights that inform our commercial decisions.
What is in it for you
As a Data Scientist at NORDEN, you will take part in impactful projects that shape business decisions and support our ongoing AI-driven transformation. You will work with large, unique, and high-value datasets, leveraging NORDEN’s position as a major market participant to develop insights that can create real competitive advantage.
You will be part of a collaborative, informal, and growth-minded team where collaboration, innovation and personal development are at the core of how we work. At the same time, you will gain practical experience with a modern tech stack, including Python, Prefect, Docker and cloud solutions on Azure.
You get the opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues while sharing your own ideas in an open and inclusive environment.
The tasks that await you
In this role, you will:
- Develop and deploy analytical models that support decision-making across key business functions using statistical methods and machine learning.
- Transform complex datasets into actionable trading signals and market insights.
- Apply modern AI and machine learning techniques to uncover new opportunities and improve business performance.
- Collaborate closely with business stakeholders to understand challenges and deliver data-driven solutions with measurable impact.
- Continuously improve models, methodologies, and analytical approaches to ensure scalable and high-quality solutions.
- Stay up to date with developments in machine learning, AI and data science, and evaluate how new techniques can create business value.
What you bring
We are looking for a curious and engaged colleague with an analytical mindset. We imagine that you already have:
- You have the legal right to work in Denmark.
- 0–5 years of relevant experience.
- A degree in mathematics, economics, statistics, computer science or a similar quantitative field.
- Proficiency in Python.
- Fluency in English, as this is our working language.
- Eligibility to work in Denmark.
Besides this an approachable nature and problem-solving skills are significant, as you will need to communicate data science results with business stakeholders.
While experience from shipping, a commodities trading house or similar environments can be beneficial but is not required.
