Data Scientist

About The Role

Analyze, manipulate and process large sets of data. Develop predictive/machine learning models from large sets of structured and unstructured data.

• Identify methods that allow continuous and automated statistical testing to enhance the predictability of deployed models
• Apply feature selection algorithms to models predicting outcomes of interest
• Apply sampling techniques to determine groups to be surveyed
• Compare models using statistical performance metrics, such as loss functions or proportion of explained variance
• Create graphs, charts or other visualizations to convey the results of data analysis
• Deliver oral or written presentations of the results of mathematical modeling and data analysis to stakeholders
• Identify business problems or leader objectives that can be addressed through data analysis
• Identify relationships and trends or any factors that could affect the results of research
• Identify and propose solutions to business problems using the results of data analysis
• Test, validate and reformulate models to ensure accurate prediction of outcomes of interest
• Write new functions or applications to conduct analyses
• Partner with machine learning engineers on the deployment of applicable models for business projects
• Communicate analyses, conclusions and solutions clearly to all audiences
• Sequence the steps involved to deliver a working model, estimate the timelines for the completion of work and communicate this information to the project manager
• Advise project teams on application improvements that will result in enhanced predictive and prescriptive models
• Develop and evangelize best practices for statistical or behavioral models
• Drive the collection of new data and the refinement of existing data sources
• Collaborate with the engineering and product teams to develop and support our internal data platform to support ongoing analyses
• Mentor and train associate data scientists
