Data Scientist
Description
Works as part of a team to employ scientific methods and data-discovery tools to find new patterns, insights, and relationships in big data; extract meaningful information from multiple large data sets and develop solutions that quickly and visually communicate results. Participates and collaborates in discussions across business and IT teams to understand data product needs. Analyzes data from various databases to drive optimization and improvement of product development and business strategies. Independently works on analyzing and interpreting data to identify trends, insights, and logical data driven solutions for business problems. Develops analytical models and algorithms which apply data to identify business improvement insights and inform the development of processes and tools (e.g. dashboards, other visualizations) for monitoring, analyzing, and evaluating analytical model performance. Ensures accuracy and quality of data, including reconciliation from disparate sources. Partners with other team members to collaborate with stakeholders, customers, and other functional teams. Works alongside other data scientists to understand business questions, identify opportunities to leverage data to drive business solutions, implement models, and monitor outcomes.
Essential Functions
• Supports service measurement, improvement, and goaling activities through advanced exploratory data analysis and statistics. Includes quantification of current, historical, or future “what if” scenarios using detailed scan data, which necessitates frequent and iterative use of Spark and big data processing instead of traditional SQL.
• Provides tradeoff quantifications between service, cost, revenue, and customer experience for different scenarios through exploratory data analysis and mathematical reasoning. Requires critical thinking about orders of magnitude and asymptotic behavior of trends.
• Develops fact bases to help build strategic narratives of opportunity areas through self-directed exploration of scan and service data.
• Explores enhancements to service measurement and improvement activities through development and calculation of new metrics and the application of statistical process control (SPC).
• Designs and implements reporting dashboards and other visualizations that track and visually communicate key business metrics and provide actionable insights
• Participates in design sessions to implement experiments to answer targeted questions and solves known issues by actively engaging with business partners to understand key business challenges.
• Independently works on analyzing and interpreting data to identify trends, insights, and logical data driven solutions for business problems.
• Analyzes data from various databases to drive optimization and improvement of product development and business strategies.
• Ensures accuracy and quality of data, including reconciliation from disparate sources.
