• Collaborate with cross-functional teams: sales, marketing, product, operations, care, and network, to translate business needs into data science solutions driving measurable value.
• Own and oversee model deployment, monitoring, drift detection, and retraining pipelines.
• Ensure governance around data ethics, fairness, and privacy. Especially with customer data, usage logs, and location data.
• Mentor junior/intermediate data scientists; conduct code reviews and promote best practices (reproducibility, testing, documentation).
• Provide actionable insights to support executive decision-making and quantify business impact (e.g., revenue uplift, churn reduction, campaign ROI).

The ideal candidate will possess:

• 5–7+ years of experience in applied data science / machine learning, ideally with exposure to sales and marketing domains.
• Strong foundation in statistical modeling, causal inference, time-series forecasting, and uplift modeling to support customer insights and campaign effectiveness.
• Experience with A/B testing and experimentation frameworks to evaluate campaign effectiveness and optimize customer engagement strategies.
• Experience with large-scale modeling and distributed computing in cloud environments.
• Proficiency in Python, advanced ML frameworks, and MLops practices.
• Experience with customer data protection, privacy regulations, and ethical AI principles.
• Familiarity with marketing platforms or CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce) to support targeted outreach, segmentation, and lifecycle analytics.
• Proven track record of delivering measurable business impact (e.g., improved retention, increased ARPU, optimized campaign performance).
• Excellent communication skills, including with non-technical stakeholders; strong leadership and mentoring capabilities.
• Master’s or PhD preferred, but not required with strong experience.
