Aspia AI Next

Aspia Group is the Nordic leader in tech-driven services for accounting, payroll, tax, and advisory. Our mission is to make business processes smarter, simpler, and more efficient through automation and AI-driven innovation. Do you want to be part of a small team shaping the future
of AI-driven business automation and driving innovation that transforms an entire industry?

With over 3,100 employees in six countries, Aspia support more than 39,000 clients, ranging from small businesses to multinational corporations. Our mission is to simplify complex business processes through digital innovation and automation, enabling our clients to focus on what they do best. To push the boundaries of business processes and set new industry standards, we are launching Aspia Labs. This agile innovation hub will explore high-impact AI opportunities, develop prototypes, and assess investment potential. This initiative is a strategic priority with board-level attention and a direct link to both the Group CIO and Group COO.

If you are passionate about identifying and validating cutting-edge AI technologies and want to contribute to the next technological leap, this is the role for you!

About the role
As a Data Scientist in Aspia’s newly established AI Next team, you will be one of the explorers charting the company’s next technological frontier. Operating outside the day-to-day delivery machinery, AI Next’s mandate is to scout, test and validate cutting-edge AI—especially generative
techniques—and demonstrate where they can move the needle for Aspia’s internal processes and client-facing services (payroll, accounting, tax).  You will blend statistical rigor with software-engineering craft: turning complex data into clear insights, shaping predictive models into working code, and packaging prototypes that prove tangible value. Once a concept is validated, it is handed to Aspia’s Centres of Excellence and hub structure for industrialisation, freeing you to return to experimentation. In a company blessed with rich, well-structured datasets and ambitious digital goals, you’ll channel curiosity, analytical depth and pragmatic execution to
future-proof Aspia and redefine what AI-driven BPO can achieve. This role suits a hands-on, mid-level data scientist who loves transforming raw data and bold ideas into measurable business impact.

Key responsibilities include:

•Explore large, heterogeneous datasets to uncover trends, anomalies and
opportunities that seed high-impact AI use cases.
•Build and advance predictive models—both supervised and unsupervised—
in Python or R, moving them steadily toward production-ready pipelines.
•Create rapid PoCs that leverage LLMs or other generative frameworks for
document summarisation, report generation and intelligent chatbots.
•Design robust data pipelines and automate training / inference workflows,
optimising end-to-end performance with tools like MLflow and Airflow.
•Work closely with data engineers, software developers and product owners
to embed AI features in real business processes.
•Quantify impact through KPIs such as time saved, cost reduced and quality
improved, crafting persuasive business cases for further investment.
•Continuously monitor the AI landscape, organise hackathons and share
emerging techniques, frameworks and cloud practices with the wider team.

Your Profile
You are a hands-on data scientist with 3–5 years’ experience turning messy data into production-ready models in Python or R. Equally comfortable with SQL tables, JSON logs and free-text documents, you spin up clean pipelines, track code in Git and measure impact in business KPIs, not just accuracy scores. Curious by nature, you prototype with LLM APIs, test new ML frameworks and quickly separate hype from real value. You explain insights in plain English, persuading both engineers and executives, and you see cloud, MLOps and containerised deployment as standard tools, not obstacles. Above all, you thrive in a small, fast-moving team where rapid PoCs become the next big leap for Aspia’s AI journey.

What Aspia Offers
At Aspia, we are committed to ensuring you have the best time in your career. We offer a strategic and high-impact role in driving AI transformation within a leading Nordic company. You will have access to a dedicated innovation budget, allowing you to experiment with and develop groundbreaking AI solutions. You will be part of a high-performing and collaborative
environment, where innovation is encouraged and supported.
