Knowledge Graph & Semantics Consultant

Knowledge Graph & Semantics Consultant

Location: London (Hybrid) | Practice Area: Data & Analytics | Type: Permanent

Turn complex data into connected knowledge that drives smarter decisions.

The Role

Financial services firms face significant challenges – and opportunities – in how they manage and extract value from increasingly complex data. Their ability to compete, comply and transform depends on connecting information across data silos and turning it into knowledge that people and machines can meaningfully understand.

Graph and Semantics Engineering are emerging enterprise data technologies that use ontologies, advanced analytics and AI to represent knowledge in expressive and innovative ways. Next-generation AI systems powered by knowledge graphs can help organisations manage complexity, provide greater context and deliver more explainable outcomes.

As a Knowledge Graph & Semantics Consultant, you’ll help our clients understand, design and implement solutions using graph and semantic technologies, advanced data management and analytics. You’ll also explore how approved AI tools, automation and AI-enabled workflows can improve the speed, quality and insight of delivery, while maintaining appropriate human judgement, review and responsible AI guardrails.

You’ll contribute to the continued growth of Capco’s Data & Analytics practice, helping develop our capabilities, talent and thinking around how graph and semantic technologies can create value for financial services organisations.

• Ability to combine business and technical understanding to explain, design and create effective knowledge graph models and solutions.
• Understanding of graph use cases and user-interface considerations, including the challenges associated with visualising complex graph data.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain graph, semantic and AI-enabled approaches clearly, while applying sound human judgement and responsible technology practices.
