  • Validate, measure, and document model performance in accordance with business and stakeholder requirements.
  • Collaborate with business partners to produce insights from business-defined requirements and hypotheses.
  • Leverage visualization tools/packages to story-tell and to convey data-driven insights with actionable recommendations to business partners and key stakeholders.
  • Quickly learn new methods, tools, and technologies.

What do you need to succeed?

Must Have:

  • Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
  • 1-2 years of experience delivering data-driven solutions using machine learning, AI, predictive analytics, and/or statistical modeling.

  • Knowledge of lifecycle of data science products from design to delivery.

What’s in it for you?

We thrive on the challenge to be our best, progressive thinking to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper. We care about each other, reaching our potential, making a difference to our communities, and achieving success that is mutual.
