Beyond the technical work, you'll serve as a trusted advisor and leader across the organization. You'll partner closely with cross‑functional teams—including engineering, business stakeholders, and clients—to shape data strategy, prioritize opportunities, and ensure solutions align with business goals. You'll present findings to both technical and non‑technical audiences, influence decision‑making through data‑driven storytelling, and help elevate the team's capabilities by mentoring junior data scientists and promoting best practices. This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys balancing hands‑on analytics with strategic leadership and wants to make a visible impact through innovative, scalable data science solutions.

• Advanced proficiency in Python for machine learning, data analysis, and automation.
• Expert-level SQL skills and experience working with relational databases.
• Experience integrating data from multiple systems through APIs.
• Strong foundation in statistics, probability, predictive modeling, and analytical methodologies.
• Experience building, validating, and deploying machine learning models that drive business outcomes.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical findings into actionable business insights.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing and deploying Natural Language Processing (NLP) solutions.
• Experience with cloud‑based data and analytics platforms (Azure preferred).
• Familiarity with MLOps practices and maintaining production machine learning models.
• Experience leading cross‑functional initiatives and influencing business decisions through data.
• Experience mentoring and developing other data scientists.
