Who is Quantium?

Quantium is a world leader in data science and artificial intelligence. Established in Australia in 2002, Quantium is a global team of more than 1,200 people across 14 locations with a unique blend of capabilities across product and consulting services to help businesses unlock value from data and analytics. Quantium partners with the world's largest corporations to forge a better, more intelligent world.

We're ALL in on AI — transforming ourselves into an AI-native organisation while helping our clients do the same. With 23 years of domain expertise, proprietary data partnerships, and industry-leading AI adoption (90% weekly active usage), we are at the forefront of what's possible with data.

About the team

Our Health vertical works with a wide range of Health clients in Australia and internationally — spanning health insurers, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and government — helping them unlock actionable insights that improve outcomes for patients and the broader community.

As a Data Scientist in the Health vertical, you'll be a collaborative technical contributor working within cross-functional teams alongside senior data scientists, consultants, and client stakeholders. You'll deepen your expertise in statistical modelling, machine learning, and AI-native workflows, while engaging directly with clients across multiple health engagements simultaneously.

How you'll create impact

Execute high-quality analysis and deliverables across one or more health client projects simultaneously, managing your own workload and prioritisation to meet agreed deadlines

Design and build statistical models and machine learning solutions to address health client challenges — such as predicting patient risk, modelling health behaviours, or evaluating intervention outcomes

Apply AI tools daily to enhance your analytical workflows, moving from AI assistance through to more sophisticated agentic approaches over time

Develop the skill of critically evaluating AI-generated outputs — learning when to trust, refine, or override

Analyse large, complex health datasets to surface meaningful patterns and actionable insights

Create clear, visually compelling dashboards and reports that communicate findings to both technical and non-technical audiences

Engage directly with day-to-day client contacts — responding proactively, seeking out information needed to progress work, and building trusted relationships

Support and mentor peers and graduates within your project streams to help the broader team achieve its goals

Contribute to business development activities, including supporting proposals and organic growth with existing clients

The superpowers you'll be bringing to the team

Technical foundation : Solid Python/R with a strong understanding of data science fundamentals — statistical modelling, machine learning, data preparation, and validation — and a genuine commitment to delivering accurate, error-free analytical work. Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) is valued as we increasingly deploy solutions in cloud environments.

AI curiosity : Experience using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar) in your work — or genuine enthusiasm and a clear willingness to build that fluency. You're open to working in a team where AI-native methods are the default.

Analytical thinking : A systematic approach to problem-solving with the ability to understand health business challenges and translate them into rigorous technical solutions — and to make the complex simple for client audiences.

Collaborative spirit : Good communication skills for working with diverse teams and clients, with the self-awareness to manage your own workload independently while knowing when to escalate or ask for support.
