Job description
You will own a structured framework to evaluate new data sources and modeling techniques. Your analyses will include clear assumptions that guide our data vendor budget and investment decisions. You will build out model monitoring and governance infrastructure - turning it from a reactive compliance exercise into a proactive utility. Working cross-functionally, you'll collaborate with internal teams to develop analytical tools and automations that ease bottlenecks. This enables other teams to access data independently and find answers without relying on advanced analytics repeatedly.
Requirements
- 2-4 years of hands-on experience in data science or analytics
- Strong Python and SQL skills for analysis and automation
- Proven statistical foundation: you can frame a hypothesis, develop a meticulous test, and communicate results - including their limitations - to non-technical partners
- Strong data visualization skills
- A service mentality: you build things people actually use, you get happiness from unblocking others, and you know how to balance rigor with shipping
Preferred
- Background in consumer finance or credit risk
- Experience with model governance or model validation
- Experience with AI or LLM platforms in an applied context
- Track record supporting cross-functional teams with analytical work
- Testing or QA mentality - validating that what was built does what it should
Nice-to-Have
- Experience with dbt or Airflow
- Dashboard design and management experience
