Job description

Job Summary

Solves analytical problems using quantitative approaches through a combination of analytical, mathematical and technical skills. Researches, designs, implements and validates algorithms to analyze diverse sources of data to achieve project specific outcomes by leveraging statistical and predictive modeling concepts.

Key Responsibilities

Leverages data science methodology to solve business problems. Creates individual algorithms using statistical methodologies through the use of statistical programming languages and tools. Partners with domain experts to verify model capabilities. Implements statistical techniques to clean, prepare and profile the data prior to deeper analysis. Clearly articulates results, methodologies and learnings to stakeholder and peer group. Continuous development and advancement of the team through knowledge sharing and collaboration.

Competencies

Communicates effectively - Developing and delivering multi-mode communications that convey a clear understanding of the unique needs of different audiences.

Customer focus - Building strong customer relationships and delivering customer-centric solutions.

Decision quality - Making good and timely decisions that keep the organization moving forward.

Manages complexity - Making sense of complex, high quantity, and sometimes contradictory information to effectively solve problems.

Tech savvy - Anticipating and adopting innovations in business-building digital and technology applications.

Data Mining - Extracts insights from data by identifying relationships and patterns through use of a suite of data exploration and data visualization techniques to understand the underlying structure of the data and enable sound conclusions upon model building.

Predictive Modeling - Develops analytical or machine learning models by using appropriate variable transformations, feature selection strategies, imputation strategies, class rebalancing, resampling strategies and quality control measures to generate predictive insights used in solving business questions.

Programming - Creates, writes and tests computer code, test scripts, and build scripts using algorithmic analysis and design, industry standards and tools, version control, and build and test automation to meet business, technical, security, governance and compliance requirements.

Requirements Analysis - Evaluates relationships and interdependencies between requirements based upon their complexity and value to the business in order to determine feasibility and prioritization.

Statistical Modeling - Develops descriptive and explanatory statistical models, and simulations for regression, classification, outlier detection, anomaly detection, time series forecasting using knowledge of foundational statistics such as null hypotheses significance tests, regression models, generalized linear modeling, time series analysis, rank statistics, probability distribution fitting survival analysis, etc. to validate hypotheses for any given statistical or business question.

Problem Solving - Solves problems and may mentor others on effective problem solving by using a systematic analysis process by leveraging industry standard methodologies to create problem traceability and protect the customer; determines the assignable cause; implements robust, data-based solutions; identifies the systemic root causes and ensures actions to prevent problem reoccurrence are implemented.

Values differences - Recognizing the value that different perspectives and cultures bring to an organization.
