  • Teach and learn from their teammates. We value making others successful


What you bring:

  • 5+ years of experience in a data science/decision science (or equivalent), including time as the primary DS for a domain
  • Excellent SQL & Python skills - hands-on experience with data pipeline tools such as dbt and Airflow are an advantage
  • Strong stakeholder management skills - an excellent communicator who is able to present results and analyses to senior leadership
  • Good understanding of business practices, sales, and client behavior
