Skills

Independently execute the Attribution and Optimization model balancing accuracy Communicate and translate results in the context of the business and quantify uncertainty Help Decision Scientists Business Analysts and Data Science leadership recommend strategies and operational tactics under uncertainty Develop compelling measurement plans and model/forecast scoring methods to track predictions against actuals (while considering the cumulative and delayed effects of marketing efforts and uncertainty) Design develop and program methods processes and systems to consolidate and analyze unstructured diverse "big data" sources to generate actionable insights and solutions to generate business impact Work across multi-disciplinary teams to translate business needs into testable hypotheses and design experiments to test said hypotheses Collaborate with other members of the team to support investigation across a variety of topics Research recommend and apply appropriate statistical econometric mathematical and computational modeling concepts across domains Work with Machine Learning Engineers to convert experimental code to production code Unit test production model code to ensure quality Take an active role in recruiting training guiding and mentoring junior team members Ensure data and code integrity by conducting documentation and code reviews Implement strategic analyses with the know-how to balance getting the details right while still moving at the speed of business

Description

As a Senior Data Scientist in this role, you will work as the primary modeler for our in-house Marketing Attribution (MMM) and Optimization model. You will be responsible for ensuring input data fidelity, and producing results that are statistically sound. In addition to your primary function, you will work with Principal Data Scientists to research and implement econometric/statistical and mathematical optimization solutions to strengthen and enhance the Attribution and Optimization model.

You will work with Data Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, and Front-End Designers/Developers to ensure quality of data and results and debug errors as necessary. The Senior Data Scientist is expected to be a strong team-player and take on a player-coach role within the team. You must possess the desire to: (1) train junior data scientists on modeling procedure; (2) coach junior data scientists on understanding, shaping, and validating data; (3) ensure requirements are met or communicate roadblocks; and (4) train junior data scientists to execute, tune, and validate the model.
