Qualifications

• Experience managing and developing Data Scientists while remaining comfortable working at a technical level.

Responsibilities

• Work with the Director of Data Science and business and marketing teams to identify high-value opportunities for Data Science, translating commercial problems into predictive models and decision-making products.

• Build trusted relationships across Marketing, Commercial, Analytics, Product and Engineering, translating business needs into Data Science opportunities.
• Lead and develop a growing team of Data Scientists while remaining technically close to the work, coaching the global team and establishing standards.
