FRANKEL+

Job Title: Data Analysts (& Researchers)  

                 (Full Time: 35hrs)

                 Monday – Friday: 9AM – 5PM

 

Our analysts will be lightning-fast coders who can surf vast datasets quickly, encountering and surfacing potential insights faster than other specialists can say “whiteboard.” Your coding style may well baffle traditional software engineers — but you’ll leave them in the dust due to your speed. Speed is your highest virtue, closely followed by the ability to identify potentially useful gems. A mastery of visual presentation of information helps too. Beautiful and effective plots will allow us to extract information faster, which pays off in time-to-potential-insights. Your efforts will result in our business getting a finger on its pulse and eyes on previously-unknown unknowns.

 

Your goal: To generate the inspiration that helps us select valuable quests to send our statisticians and ML engineers on, saving them from mathematically-impressive excavations of useless rabbit holes.

 

Your Claim to Fame: Speed.

 

 

Job Title:  Statisticians (& Researchers)

                  (Full Time: 35hrs)

                  Monday – Friday: 9AM – 5PM 

 

As a Statistician you’re a specialist in coming to conclusions beyond our data safely. You’ll be our best protection against fooling ourselves in an uncertain world. To you, inferring something sloppily is a greater sin than leaving your mind a blank slate, so, as a good Statistician, we'll expect you to put the brakes on our exuberance. You’ll care deeply about whether the methods applied are right for the problem and you will agonize over which inferences are valid from the information at hand.

 

Your goal: To provide a perspective that helps us make important decisions in a risk-controlled manner. In other words, you’ll use data to minimize the chance that we come to an unwise conclusion.

 

Your Claim to Fame: Rigor.

Job Title:  Machine Learning/AI Engineers (& Researchers)

                  (Full Time: 35hrs)

                  Monday – Friday: 9AM – 5PM 

​

You’ll have the coding skills to build both prototypes and production systems that work and the stubborn resilience to fail every hour for several months if that’s what it takes! As a machine learning specialist, you’ll know that you won’t find the perfect solution in a textbook. Instead, you’ll be engaged in a marathon of trial-and-error. Having a great intuition for how long it’ll take you to try each new option will be a huge plus and is more valuable than an intimate knowledge of how the algorithms work (though it’s nice to have both). Performance means more than clearing a metric — it also means reliable, scalable, and easy-to-maintain models that perform well in production. Engineering excellence is a must.

 

Your goal: To eventually deliver a system that automates tricky tasks well enough to pass our statistician’s strict testing bar and deliver the audacious performance our business requires.

 

Your Claim to Fame: Performance.

​

                  

All these positions offer a unique ground-floor opportunity in a well-funded and highly profitable start-up. Successful candidates will be working at the cutting edge of Predictive Modelling within financial sports markets. As such you will have significant opportunities for career development in the UK and possibly overseas. In return you will be expected to work effectively as part of an elite projects team.

​

Your first task will be to assist in the creation of a world class Database with which to refine and enhance our existing products.

 

Your focus will then turn to the identification and development of new opportunities (products) in our existing markets and new markets. All of our products are the result of high quality Data Gathering, Cleaning, Analysis & Research and Predictive Modelling.

​

In particular these roles collectively will include:

​

• Designing, developing, implementing and maintaining data models.

• Researching and analysing market trends and statistics to make modelling decisions.

• Performing daily statistical analyses (e.g. risk analytics, default risk modelling, etc.) and coding tasks (e.g. data mining).

• Running models, looking for exceptions and taking corrective action.

• Building on knowledge of the technological tools used to conduct analyses.

• Accessing technologies - extracting and pre-processing data for populating models.

• Building knowledge of the processes and trading products and from this determining which analytical methodologies and approaches best support the performance, risk or valuation of the products.

• Communicating analytical results to other stakeholders of the products.

​

The above positions will enjoy the following benefits:

​

• Superb Salary

  • A starting salary of £52,000 per annum.  In addition to this great start we offer a Triple Lock on your Salary. Our Triple Lock guarantees that your basic pay will rise, each year, by a minimum of either 3.5%, the rate of inflation (CPI) or average earnings growth, whichever is the greater. And just for the record, there is no gender pay gap whatsoever at FRANKELPLUS and there never will be.

  • Once a year you’ll receive a £250 Birthday Meal Allowance (Tax Paid) and we give you the day off too.

​

• Relocation Allowance

  • We recognise that ​a person is more vulnerable than at most other times when they are uprooting themselves and starting a new life, only anchored to their new location by a new job. What better time is there for us to show you how much we value you? One way we do this is by offering you a Relocation Allowance of up to £8,000 (usually Tax Exempt).

​​​

• Ongoing Bespoke Training & Development

  • With your input we’ll identify where additional training & development (in both soft and hard skills) are required. We will also support Postgraduate Studies (Masters or PhD for example) where it is agreed to be beneficial by both parties. Together we’ll tailor programmes to your needs. This will be ongoing throughout your career with us. And, as always, entirely funded by the Company. Our focus is on your future. Our goal is to help you grow personally, professionally, and as a leader.

​

• Well Stocked Reference Library

  • We have a small reference library (both physical and online) and we are always willing to consider your suggestions for additional works.

​

• Academic/Reference Journals Subscription Service

  • On request we will subscribe to the various Periodicals & Journals that you feel are directly or indirectly relevant in keeping you up to date in your fields of expertise.

​

• Truly Flexible Work Schedules

  • We’ll help you focus on your performance rather than the hours at your desk. Our starting point is that we are not running an adult day care centre! We allow you to adjust your schedule, without penalty, for whatever life throws at you - sick children, sick parents, school plays, Postgraduate Studies or whatever.

​

• Opportunities for Career Progression

  • As a small Company, in terms of numbers of employees, we don’t offer the proverbial “greasy pole” for you to climb. However, do not think that this is a bar to career progression – far from it! There are numerous ways to “progress” other than straight up. Once you have mastered your initial brief (expect about 18-24 months in) and if you feel the urge to progress, we’ll look together at the possible options.

​

• A Culture of Work-Life Balance

  • We encourage (and reward) an exceptional work ethic, but not at the expense of living life to the full. We understand the joyful, creative, inspiring feelings and sometimes just plain old-fashioned fun that solving the problems our projects can bring. And yes, there are times when we just have to ‘roll up our sleeves’ and grind through it to get the results. But throughout it all, the key is getting the balance right (and we’re not talking about equations). The quality of your life outside of work is just as important to us as your time spent working.

​

• Fantastic Offices and Office Environment

  • Our offices have been carefully designed to create a marvellous combination of both Ancient & Modern, resulting in a truly uplifting workplace. It’s nearly impossible to describe, you have to experience the calming effect of the magnificent interior design.  We have naturally made full provision within the workplace with regard to access and facilities for disabled members of staff.

​

• Free Secure On-Site Parking

  • Accessible 24/7, 365 days of the year and as it’s in the city centre you’ll always have a free parking spot if out and about in the evenings or weekends. Should we be able to secure Planning permission, we are not averse to adding a secure Bike Store.

​

• Free Gym Membership For You And A Friend

  • From your first week we provide full Gym membership for both you and another person (we know it’s sometimes better with a friend). The Gym in question offers 24 hour access. So, if you want a work-out before arriving at the office, during the day, or after work – you can. 

​

• Your Own Office from Day One – Not Just A Desk

  • In addition to a communal work area you’ll also have your own office for when you just need to concentrate on the task in hand by yourself.​

​

• Profit Share

  • Four months after any of the various projects you’ll be working on ‘come on stream’ and assuming they are generating a profit, you’ll receive a share in those profits. These payments will be made each quarter and will be subject to the profitability of the various products. Your profit share will continue for as long as the product's life-cycle and as long as you are working with us, irrespective of how your role may change over time.

​

• Annual Bonus

  • After you have worked with us for 12 months you’ll become eligible for our Annual Bonus. This is based on FRANKELPLUS's profitability. After taking account of any capital expenditure requirements for the coming year, plus an amount set aside for our reserve fund, we share a proportion of our profits, equally, with our staff. This is paid once a year.

​

• Charitable Support

  • Each year we ask our staff to suggest Charities (preferably local ones) they would like FRANKELPLUS to support. We set aside a percentage of our profits for just this purpose. Your nominated Charity (along with other staff members nominated Charities) will share in the profit percentage equally.

  • We may also select each year, from the above Charities, one that we offer additional help to. This could include ‘hands on involvement’, during office hours, by the whole team. We take our commitment to social responsibility very seriously and track the effectiveness of our contributions carefully.

​

• Comprehensive Benefits Package

  • Pension, Subsidised Mortgage, Life Insurance, Private Healthcare, Dental & Optical Plan, Well-Being Programmes, Childcare and more are all part of the 'benefits package' that successful applicants can look forward to enjoying.​ We will cover the details of these at the 2nd interview.

​​

• Great Holiday Entitlement

  • You’ll get 6 weeks holidays each year, plus the usual 8 Bank Holidays and your Birthday, all on full pay. That's 39 days paid holidays per year.

​

• Sabbatical

  • Every 5 years you will be entitled to a 5 week 'sabbatical', on full pay. You can add your sabbatical to other holiday​ entitlements giving you a potential maximum of 11 consecutive weeks.

​

• Private Company Retirement Fund

  • Yet another ‘perk’ we offer, to those who work profitably with us long-term, is the opportunity to benefit from our exceptionally generous Private Company Retirement Fund. It’s unlike any we are aware of and it’s entirely funded by the Company. (Details covered at 2nd Interview).

  • In addition to our Private Company Retirement Fund is the mandatory Workplace Pension you’ll be enrolled in and into which FRANKELPLUS contributes an amount equivalent to no less than 8% of your salary.

​​

You will have gathered by now that we've put together a rather unique remuneration package. A package that we hope will result in you earning six-figures (or more) within 5 years. That's because we are looking to attract some rather unique individuals.  And when we find you - and you find us – we’ll want you to want to stay. That’s why we are making a truly world-beating offer for truly world-beating graduates.
