FXCM Support EAD is a subsidiary of FXCM Group. The FXCM group of companies (collectively, the "FXCM Group") is a leading provider of online foreign exchange (forex) trading, CFD trading, spread betting and related services. Our
mission is to inspire global traders with access to the world's largest and most liquid market. By offering the most innovative trading tools, hiring the best trading educators, and meeting strict financial standards to protect trader
funds, we strive for the best online trading experience in the market.
The Data Science Manager will drive the data science focus within the Data Science and Analytics department. We are looking for an experienced data science leader to direct the existing team to improve on current efforts, but also
help set the strategic direction and drive new initiatives. You would have the opportunity to use your experience to help drive real change in our efforts to use data to make smarter, more efficient and more impactful decisions, while
working in a supportive environment.
We work across the company with Marketing, Sales, Operations, Dealing, Compliance and others. You will be involved in setting the strategy, benchmarks, goals, roadmap and methods to support the short- and long-term growth plans. You
will define, oversee and manage projects end-to-end that will facilitate that strategy. You will also contribute to our best practices, focusing not only on the work, but how the work is done.
This would be ideal for somebody who is passionate about data and analysis, and focused on the practical impact and end-use of that analysis. Rather than being siloed to one area, our goal as a team is to make full use of all the data
and tools at our disposal. The current team is large enough to make an impact, but small enough to be flexible.
We are continually looking to learn more, improve and expand, and are looking for candidates that have the same values.
