Lead Data Scientist

The tasks of a data scientist manager are diverse, and we are not looking for the unicorn data scientist, but a mindset focused on learning on the job is vital!

Elements we hope to see in our data scientist managers:

• Concrete experience delivering concrete AI products.
• A master degree with strong elements of modern data science techniques: Machine Learning algorithms, coding, statistics,…
• Other types of eduction are also valued.
• A sound knowledge of algorithms, and the ability to critically apply this knowledge to practical problems.
• Knowledge of common data science software. We have a Python-first setup, but will if needed tackle problems using R, SAS, SQL, Spark, and work with tools such as Jupyter Notebooks, IDE's, Git, Microsoft Azure.
• You confidently navigate AI topics and are able to communicate complex concepts to stakeholders, make ethically sound decisions and adapt to evolving technologies.
• Obviously, additional bonus points for PhD's, and more specific knowledge like e.g. Keras, D3.js
• A positive, collaborative, and flexible mindset
• Fluent professional proficiency in Dutch and English is required. (French is a plus)
