Full Job Description
Senior Manager, Data Science

Lennar is seeking a Senior Manager of Data Science to lead our centralized DS team within the Applied AI & Data Science function. This role owns the strategy, delivery, and people leadership of a high-impact team building pricing, forecasting, and predictive models that influence revenue, operations, and capital decisions across the business.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical leader who can move fluidly between coaching senior data scientists, shaping modeling roadmaps with executive stakeholders, and reviewing the math behind a model when it matters.

They bring deep applied ML experience-across pricing, forecasting, supervised learning, and modern ML tooling-and they know how to translate ambiguous business problems into production-grade models that move metrics. They build teams that ship, document, and own outcomes.

You'll join a high-performing Data & AI organization operating at the intersection of real estate, operations, and AI-leading a team whose models are deployed across 40+ divisions of one of the nation's largest homebuilders.
  • A career with purpose.
  • A career built on making dreams come true.
  • A career built on building zero defect homes, cost management, and adherence to schedules.


Your Responsibilities on the Team
  • Lead, coach, and grow a centralized team of data scientists working across pricing, forecasting, demand modeling, and broader predictive analytics-setting standards for technical rigor, code quality, and business impact.
  • Own the modeling roadmap for the ML team, partnering with business and platform leaders to prioritize use cases, scope deliverables, and align modeling investments to measurable enterprise outcomes.
  • Drive technical depth across the team-reviewing experiment design, feature engineering, model selection, validation strategy, and post-deployment monitoring with the rigor expected of a hands-on senior practitioner.
  • Partner with AI Engineering, AI Product, and Data Engineering counterparts to ensure models are productionized on a modern MLOps stack with proper version control, retraining, and observability.
  • Translate complex modeling work for executive audiences-framing tradeoffs, expected impact, confidence levels, and risks in language that supports clear decision-making.
  • Build durable cross-functional partnerships with Pricing, Sales Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, and Corporate Analytics to ensure models are adopted, trusted, and tied to measurable business outcomes.
  • Establish team operating cadence including planning, retros, model reviews, and documentation standards that scale as the team and portfolio of models grow.
  • Recruit, develop, and retain top data science talent-owning hiring loops, leveling decisions, performance management, and career progression for direct reports.


Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in a quantitative field such as Statistics, Computer Science, Operations Research, Economics, Mathematics, or Engineering. Advanced degree (MS/PhD) preferred.
  • 10+ years of applied data science experience with at least 3 years in a people management role leading data science teams that shipped production models.
  • Strong hands-on background in supervised learning, time-series forecasting, and pricing or revenue optimization models-with proven impact in a production environment.
  • Deep proficiency in Python and the modern ML stack (scikit-learn, XGBoost/LightGBM, pandas), and strong SQL skills for working with large-scale warehouse data.
  • Experience deploying models on a cloud-native ML platform (AWS SageMaker preferred) and partnering with engineering teams on MLOps practices including model registries, experiment tracking, and retraining pipelines.
  • Proven ability to lead a portfolio of modeling work-prioritizing use cases by business value, managing competing stakeholder demands, and communicating tradeoffs clearly at the executive level.
  • Track record of building, developing, and retaining strong data science talent, including mentoring senior individual contributors and growing first-line data scientists into leaders.
  • Bonus: Experience in real estate, homebuilding, pricing, supply chain, or other operationally complex industries; experience with causal inference, reinforcement learning, or simulation modeling; exposure to LLM-based ML use cases.


What we offer:
  • The opportunity to deliver impact across one of the largest homebuilders in the United States.
  • A corporate culture focused on growth and development.
  • Freedom to try new impactful ideas.
  • Ability to deploy your work to teams across 40+ divisions and interact directly with those teams.
  • End-to-end project ownership.
  • Occasional travel for team activities and meetings.
  • Hybrid work schedule with you located in Miami, FL; Bentonville, AR; or Dallas, TX.
