• Develop, validate, and maintain models and AI-enabled analytical capabilities, including documented assumptions, definitions, and data lineage, and establish whether the outputs are accurate, explainable, and fit for the decision being supported.
• Build the analytical datasets your work depends on using Databricks, BigQuery, Python, and SQL, working with the data engineering team where production pipelines are required.
• Take ownership of existing analytical products, reports, and stakeholder relationships, sustaining and improving them while building new capabilities.
• Deliver results as visualizations, dashboards, models, and written analysis that technical and non-technical audiences can both use, and present findings to stakeholders and leadership.
