- Collaborate closely with Data Analysts and Data Engineers to define datasets, features, and model requirements.
- Drive discussions around model choice, assumptions, and trade-offs, always keeping business impact in mind.
- Monitor model performance, iterate on results, and continuously improve accuracy and relevance.
- Act as a senior sparring partner in the team, sharing knowledge and raising the bar for data science practices.

- Strong background in statistics, forecasting, and machine learning.
- Hands-on experience with Python and SQL, and confidence working with large datasets
