Job summary

Verizon is seeking a Strategic Scientist to translate complex data into executive strategy. You will design AI-driven decision systems using RAG to ground LLMs in proprietary supply chain data and deliver real-time recommendations.

Lead end-to-end analytics projects, build scalable models with tools like Gurobi, Domino Data Lab, and Claude Code, and communicate insights to the C-suite. This hybrid role includes work-from-home options and scheduled office days.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or four or more years of work experience.
• Six or more years of relevant experience required, demonstrated through one or a combination of work and/or military experience, or specialized training.
• Experience as a data scientist, analyst, or statistical modeler.
• Experience using LLMs or coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to enhance productivity and code quality.
• Experience with Google BigQuery, Teradata, Python/R, SQL, Alteryx, and visualization tools like Tableau.

Responsibilities

• Architect AI-Driven Decision Systems: Design and implement RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems that ground LLMs in proprietary supply chain data to provide accurate, real-time strategic recommendations.
• Optimize Complex Operations: Use Gurobi to solve high-dimensional supply chain constraints, moving beyond simple heuristics to find the mathematically 'best' path for our global operations.
• Accelerate with AI-Native Workflows: Utilize advanced coding assistants like Claude Code within VS Code to automate boilerplate and focus your energy on strategic problem-solving.
• Drive Actionable Insights & Influencing: Lead end-to-end analytical projects, moving beyond 'what happened' to prescribing solutions and proving the causal ROI of specific business interventions
• Master Executive Storytelling: Use AI to help synthesize complex model outputs into high-impact narratives and 'What-If' simulators that speak the language of the C-suite.
• Partner Across the Ecosystem: Collaborate with our Innovation and Enablement teams to integrate models into a robust, strategically aligned autonomous ecosystem.
• Ensure Governance & Scalability: Build solutions that are scalable and can be governed to measure model drift and impact.
