Work with teammates to plan and deliver data projects end to end, from concept through execution.
Refine analytical approaches and automate parts of the workflow to make data processes more efficient.
Share recommendations clearly in spoken and written form, ensuring the message is precise and actionable.

What we are looking for

Strong grounding in statistics, mathematics, and data analysis methods.
Hands-on experience working with large and complex datasets, including collection, cleaning, and management.
Working knowledge of programming languages such as Python, R, or similar tools used for data manipulation and modeling.
Solid capability in data modeling and in developing and validating predictive models.
Ability to build data visualizations using tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or comparable libraries.
Careful attention to detail and a strong focus on data accuracy and quality.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain findings clearly and precisely.
Prior experience in AI is not required for this role.

Preferred background

Experience working with remote, cross-functional, or customer-oriented teams.
Exposure to building and deploying machine learning solutions in production environments.
