First up, Head: Data Science

As Data Science at the City of #CapeTown, our USP is that we have no shortage of really interesting, challenging problems across many domains. We work in cross functional teams, and as a Head, you would be leading these teams. You would also look after the people management of our data scientists and analysts.

We're really keen to mature our #MLOps capability, so production ML/AI experience a big plus!

Next, Head: Product Services

We've been heavily influenced by people like @richardjpope, @pahlkadot, the #GDS, etc. - not having #ProductManagers is why a lot of #govtech doesn't work. We're fixing that by hiring the right people.

We understand good product management to be about making sure that we're building what is needed. This is hard with #data, where there is so much hype and misunderstanding! Come help us do better

Final one for today, Data Product Coordinator

This is a pretty admin heavy job. But, and this is a big but, that's often how you get things done in government. Although we do a lot in-house, we still need to buy stuff, host events and coordinate with our colleagues across the org, and this is where this role comes in.

It's a great opportunity for someone that is looking to get into the data space, but maybe doesn't have the technical background.
