Principal Data Consultant - Graph & Semantics

About the team:

Capco’s Data Team helps our clients transform every aspect of their business. We are highly skilled at formulating data strategy, defining business and technology initiatives across the data management lifecycle, and aligning multi-year strategic roadmaps with client’s business goals. As digital technologies advance and regulations tighten, today’s consumers – and, therefore, today’s businesses – are becoming more aware of the importance of good quality data. We work to establish holistic ways to effectively manage data through the modern data supply chain and facilitate consumption through analytics, modelling, AI, machine learning, dashboarding, and reporting.

About the Job:

Financial services firms face significant challenges and opportunities in managing and exploiting both their own data and new big data sets. Their ability to compete, comply, and transform hinges on unlocking hidden links between data scattered across various silos and extracting value from it. Next-generation tools, including AI systems powered by knowledge graphs, will handle complexity and ensure that the answers they provide have context and can be explained. Graph and Semantic Engineering are emerging enterprise data technologies that leverage ontologies and advanced analytics, including artificial intelligence, to build and represent knowledge in novel ways.
