• Maintain and automate pipelines that refresh account scores, triggers, and insights in near-real time.

• Automate key data transformations and quality checks to support seamless campaign execution.
• AI and Automation: Identify and prototype machine learning applications that streamline processes, improve data accuracy, and enhance personalization.
• Evaluate ROI and scale successful models into production-ready solutions.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Communicate analytical findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders, providing actionable recommendations to drive campaign effectiveness.
• Maintain alignment with GTM analytics teams, ensuring clear separation between data science insights and performance reporting.
• Continuous Improvement: Track and report on model accuracy, business impact, and optimization opportunities.
• Stay informed on emerging ML tools, libraries, and best practices relevant to ABX and CDP workflows.

Skills and Experience

• Proven experience in data science, machine learning, or advanced analytics, preferably in a marketing, revenue, or customer experience environment.
• Proficiency in Python, SQL, and common data science frameworks.
• Experience with Customer Data Platforms (e.g., Segment) and automated data pipeline management.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate technical findings into strategic recommendations.
• Excellent communication skills and experience engaging with cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders.
