Role Overview

The Data Science Intern will help us understand the performance of Executive Partners (XPs) and build advanced matching models to evaluate Athena’s Executive Partners and clients, delivering tailored recommendations based on robust data insights.

Responsibilities

• Build and refine matching models to evaluate Athena’s Executive Partners and clients, ensuring optimal pairings between them based on data insights.
• Analyze large and diverse datasets (e.g., client requirements, XP performance metrics) to uncover trends and generate actionable recommendations.
• Collaborate closely with data science, product, and engineering teams to integrate models into production systems.
• Present findings through clear reports, visualizations, or dashboards that inform business decisions and improve the client‑XP matching process.
• Support continuous model optimization and validation efforts.

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a graduate degree or senior undergraduate status in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, or related fields.
• Proficiency in programming languages and data tools such as Python (with pandas, scikit-learn) and SQL for data manipulation.
• Strong foundation in statistics and machine learning concepts (regression, classification, clustering).
• Experience cleaning data, feature engineering, and using data visualization tools to present insights.
• Excellent problem‑solving abilities and attention to detail, with the ability to interpret data to make logical recommendations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with machine learning frameworks or libraries (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn) and experience training or fine‑tuning models.
• Prior exposure to recommendation algorithms or matching systems through coursework or projects.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) and big data technologies (e.g., Spark, S3, Snowflake).
• Previous internship or project experience demonstrating practical data science applications.
• Understanding of human resource or matchmaking domains (e.g., matching candidates to roles or services to clients) is a plus.

Benefits

• Mentorship & Training: guidance from experienced data scientists and engineers, one‑on‑one mentorship, regular feedback, and learning resources.
• Hands‑on experience on real‑world projects that impact Athena’s services.
• Inclusive culture: collaborative environment, team meetings, social events, and company perks.
