About DataX
DataX is the strategic data and AI partner for the SCBx Group — one of Thailand's largest financial technology groups, with businesses spanning retail and corporate banking (SCB), credit cards and personal loans (CardX), title loans (AutoX), loyalty and rewards (PointX), investments (InnovestX), and more. Our mission is to become the most admired AI-tech company in ASEAN, and we are building the team to get there.
About the role
As a Senior Business & Analytics Consultant at DataX, you will partner with internal clients across the SCBx portfolio — hunting for high-value analytics and AI opportunities, building the case for them, and owning the projects that bring them to life. The output of your work will be tangible: AI models, ML models, and data-driven tools that directly impact how SCBx businesses acquire customers, manage credit risk, drive loyalty, and make decisions.
This role sits at the intersection of consulting, product ownership, and analytics. You will need the commercial instinct to sell ideas, the analytical sharpness to frame the right problems, and the technical fluency to work with and lead a team of Data Scientists and Analysts — without necessarily building the models yourself. You will not be working alone — throughout scoping, delivery, and beyond, you will be supported by Data Scientists, Data Analysts, and other experts who bring the technical depth, while you bring the business context, shape the product, and ensure the team is building the right thing.
If you are passionate about analytics and AI, thrive on variety, and want to see your work create real impact across some of Thailand's most ambitious financial services businesses — this role is for you.

- Agree on scope, priorities, and resource requirements with internal clients, ensuring full alignment before kick-off.
Analytics Product Management & Project Delivery

- Strong problem-framing skills — able to take ambiguous business challenges and translate them into clear analytical questions.
- Technical fluency sufficient to direct, challenge, and quality-assure the work of Data Scientists and Analysts; hands-on modelling experience is not required.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills in both Thai and English; able to influence stakeholders at all levels and make complex concepts accessible.
- Track record of operating independently in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with a strong sense of ownership.
