Design, train, and optimize ML models for prediction, classification, ranking, time-series forecasting, anomaly detection, NLP, and recommendation use cases.
-
Build robust experimentation workflows (train/validation strategy, ablations, error analysis) and improve model quality through iterative tuning.
5) Analytics Products, Dashboards & Data Governance
-
Own key analytics outputs as products (dashboards, reusable datasets, internal tools), continuously improving them based on usage patterns and performance gaps.
-
Build and automate dashboards and analytical components using scalable SQL logic, Python transformations, and reusable modules.
-
Act as owner for critical commercial/syndicated datasets (e.g., GfK, Circana, Nielsen or equivalent): definitions, assumptions, and limitations, ensuring transparent logic and trust in outputs.
-
6) Stakeholder Partnership & Decision Support (Lightweight, High Impact)
-
Serve as trusted analytics thought partner to senior stakeholders (e.g., BU leadership, Sales, Marketing, Finance), shaping problem statements and aligning on success metrics.
-
Translate complex analytics into clear recommendations with a decision-oriented storyline (“so-what / now-what”), tailored for leadership forums and reviews.
-
7) Responsible AI, Security, and Risk Controls (GenAI-ready)
-
Implement guardrails: prompt injection defenses, sensitive data protections, output validation, and secure tool execution patterns.
-
8) Technical Leadership (Lead-level Expectations)
-
Set engineering standards for DS/ML codebases: design docs, code review practices, testing discipline, and production readiness checklists.
-
Mentor data scientists/ML engineers on modeling, GenAI engineering, and MLOps best practices.
-
Must-have (Technical)
-
Strong Python (production-quality coding) and solid CS fundamentals; strong SQL for data access and validation.
-
Depth in ML: Traditional ML exposure and at least one deep learning framework (PyTorch/TensorFlow), with strong understanding of metrics and failure modes.
Production deployment experience on AWS or Azure (model/LLM app deployment, API serving, scaling, monitoring).
-
Good-to-have (Business + Influence)
-
Strong business acumen and ability to connect disparate data points into compelling narratives that influence senior stakeholders.
-
Education Requirements
-
Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Computer Science, Statistics, Economics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
-
Master’s degree preferred (e.g., Data Analytics, Business Analytics, Applied Statistics, Economics, AI, or MBA with strong analytics focus).
-
You're the right fit if:
-
Proven track record of owning end-to-end analytics domains, not just contributing to isolated analyses or consuming pre-built reports.
-
7–12+ years in hands-on Data Science / ML Engineering with multiple production deployments owned end-to-end.
-
Demonstrated ability to take solutions from experimentation → production (reproducible pipelines, deployment to managed endpoints/container platforms, monitoring + iterative improvement).
-
Strong GenAI delivery record: shipped RAG/MCP/fine-tuned LLM applications with measurable quality controls, safety measures, and operational readiness.
-
Experience operating in complex, matrixed environments and partnering with senior stakeholders to drive insight-led decision making
-
Hands-on exposure to AI-enabled analytics, including the use of GenAI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, or similar) to accelerate insight generation, analysis, or productivity.
