Why we're hiring:
Open Intelligence (OI) is one of WPP’s most strategic bets - a flagship data and AI initiative at the intersection of machine learning, advertising technology, and audience insight, built to power the next generation of media intelligence.

To lead the next phase of development at the embedding and applied-AI layer of OI, we are hiring a Data Science Team Lead in Copenhagen.
