  • Data Integration: Combine internal member data with third-party sources to develop statistical models of behavior, experience, and brand health.
  • Segmentation and Strategy: Drive refined segmentation strategies including persona development, market and branch profiling, profitability analysis, and channel optimization.
  • Project Ownership: Lead end-to-end data science projects, from defining the scientific approach and project plan to delivering insights and solutions aligned with business goals.
  • Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner with business leaders to understand challenges, define KPIs, and translate business needs into analytical solutions.
  • Continuous Improvement: Stay current with evolving data science tools and methodologies to enhance capabilities and outcomes.

What you Bring:

Required Qualifications and Experience

  • Graduate degree in a quantitative field such as Statistics, Mathematics, Econometrics, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., Databricks Machine Learning Associate or Professional, Lakehouse Fundamentals, Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals).
  • Hands-on experience in building, deploying, and managing predictive models using agile and MLFlow-based methodologies.
  • Proficiency and experience working within Databricks and Microsoft Azure environments.
  • Experience working within a Databricks ecosystem is desirable.

  • Communication: Confident public speaker with the ability to clearly convey complex analytical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Analytical Thinking: Strong problem-solving skills with a track record of delivering innovative solutions.
  • Collaboration: A team player who can build relationships across functions and contribute to a culture of cooperation.
  • Adaptability: Comfortable in a dynamic environment with shifting priorities and emerging technologies.
