Requirements

As a Data Scientist, you are passionate about experience innovation and eager to push the boundaries of what’s possible. You bring 3+ YEARS of experience, a growth mindset and a drive to make a lasting impact.

You Will Thrive In This Role If You Are

  • A curious problem solver who challenges the status quo
  • A collaborator who values teamwork and knowledge-sharing
  • Excited by the intersection of technology, creativity and data
  • Experienced in Agile methodologies and consulting (a plus), * Strong working knowledge of statistics, probability, machine learning, and analytical problem solving.
  • Ability to independently manage recurring data science workstreams and deliver reliable outputs with minimal oversight.
  • Strong understanding of supervised and unsupervised learning approaches, feature engineering, model evaluation, error analysis, and analytical problem framing.
  • Ability to work effectively with structured, semi-structured, and selected unstructured datasets.
  • Working knowledge of experimentation design, model validation, and the interpretation of analytical and predictive outputs in business contexts.
  • Growing familiarity with applied AI methods, including LLM-enabled workflows, text-oriented analysis, and AI-assisted feature extraction or classification.
  • Strong familiarity with notebook-based development and collaborative data science workflows, including Databricks.
  • Strong curiosity about patterns, behaviors, drivers, and how advanced analytical methods support decision-making and business value.
  • Strong attention to detail and disciplined approach to validating data, logic, methodology, and outputs.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, including the ability to explain analytical methods and findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to balance technical rigor with practical business and delivery realities.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across distributed teams in the Americas and work across functions, time zones, and client contexts., Expected to be an active adopter of approved AI-enabled analytical, coding, experimentation, documentation, and productivity workflows that improve the quality and speed of data science work. Uses AI-assisted workflows to support exploratory analysis, feature thinking, code and notebook development, model documentation, experiment design, analytical summarization, and stakeholder communication while maintaining human accountability for method selection, statistical reasoning, validation, interpretation, and final recommendations.

Understands that AI-generated code, modeling suggestions, analytical summaries, or methodological recommendations must be reviewed against source data, assumptions, statistical rigor, business context, governance expectations, and reproducibility standards before use. Demonstrates curiosity and practical enthusiasm for applying AI to improve analytical leverage, decision support, and delivery quality without weakening scientific discipline or human judgment.

At this level, AI fluency means reliable use within workstreams. Expected to apply approved AI-assisted workflows to improve delivery quality, repeatability, documentation, and stakeholder communication, and to help junior practitioners understand where AI can and cannot be used responsibly.
