  • Apply scientific principles and methodologies, adhering to best practices
  • Proactively identify opportunities and develop innovative solutions
  • Create metrics to quantify the business impact of your work
  • Write clear, technically accurate documentation and reports with appropriate mathematical rigor
  • Communicate model approaches and outcomes effectively to non-technical stakeholders
  • Collaborate across science, data, engineering, product, and business teams

Scope of Work

  • Influence multiple teams and advise senior leadership
  • Evaluate cross-team perspectives and model interactions among teams, processes, and systems
  • Leverage deep business understanding and data science expertise to identify high-impact solutions
  • Shape technical and business strategy, resolve complex issues, and align diverse viewpoints

  • Proficiency with statistical software (e.g., R, MATLAB, SAS, Stata, Python with NumPy) or domain-specific tools (e.g., TensorFlow for ML)
  • Basic proficiency in SQL
  • Strong skills in model development, validation, and implementation; experience with ML model deployment is a plus
  • Record of patents or publications in top-tier peer-reviewed journals or conferences

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • Deep expertise in empirical industrial organization
  • Strong background in econometric modeling of preferences and strategic effects
  • Solid foundation in statistical methodologies and their application to business problems
