Requirements - Senior, end-to-end data science experience spanning exploration, hypothesis development, feature engineering, modeling, and validation. - Strong statistical judgment, including the ability to detect noise, leakage, and confounding and communicate uncertainty. - Fluency in Python and SQL, plus experience working with engineering teams to put models into production. - Strong business analysis skills and the ability to size opportunities and connect evidence to decisions. - Experience leading research or analytics from initial question through recommendation, such as in strategy, operations, due diligence, or an internal analytics team. - Excellent written and verbal communication, including presenting recommendations to executives and nontechnical audiences.
