Data Scientist

Brief Description

The Data Scientist is a highly self-directed individual contributor responsible for independently defining, scoping, and executing analytical and modeling initiatives from concept through delivery. This role focuses on developing predictive models, analytical frameworks, and new data products that can be operationalized and reused across the enterprise. The Data Scientist works with minimal day-to-day oversight and partners cross-functionally to translate ambiguous business problems into durable, data-driven solutions.

This is a full-time, salaried, US-based remote position.

Your Impact:

Project Definition & Ownership

• Independently identify, frame, and scope analysis and modeling opportunities based on business needs and data availability
• Translate loosely defined questions into clear analytical objectives, success criteria, and deliverables
• Own projects end-to-end, from initial exploration through validation, documentation, and delivery
  
  
  

Modeling & Advanced Analytics

• Design, develop, and maintain predictive models using machine-learning algorithms
• Perform advanced statistical analysis and feature engineering on large, multi-source datasets
• Evaluate model performance, stability, and limitations, and iterate as needed
  
  
  

Data Product Development

• Develop reusable analytical assets, scoring systems, features, and model outputs that function as data products
• Partner with engineering and data teams to operationalize models and analytical outputs in production environments
• Ensure analytical work is designed for scalability, repeatability, and long-term use
  
  
  

Collaboration & Communication

• Work cross-functionally with analytics, engineering, product, and business stakeholders to align solutions with business goals
• Clearly communicate analytical approaches, tradeoffs, and results to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Provide analytical leadership and direction without requiring detailed instruction
  
  
  

Documentation & Standards

• Document methodologies, assumptions, data transformations, and limitations to support transparency and reuse
• Contribute to the evolution of data science standards, tooling, and best practices
  
  
  

What Success Looks Like:

By 6–12 months, a successful Data Scientist in this role will have:

• Independently defined and delivered multiple analytical or modeling initiatives with minimal oversight
• Developed at least one new reusable data product (e.g., model, scoring framework, feature set, or analytical asset) that is actively used by downstream teams or systems
• Demonstrated strong judgment in scoping work appropriately, balancing rigor, speed, and business impact
• Built credibility with cross-functional partners as a trusted analytical thought partner
• Established clear, well-documented analytical patterns that others can understand, reuse, and extend
• Proactively identified opportunities to improve existing models, data assets, or analytical workflows
  
  
  

Success in this role is measured by the ability to drive analytical work forward independently, not by waiting for detailed task definition.

Your Profile:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field required
• Master’s degree preferred
• 3 years of experience in data science, advanced analytics, or predictive modeling
• 3 years of experience working with SQL and relational database systems
• Experience developing reusable analytical or modeling assets strongly preferred
• Experience in data-driven marketing, fundraising, or customer analytics a plus
• Proven ability to operate independently in ambiguous problem spaces
• Strong background in statistical modeling, predictive analytics, and feature engineering
• Advanced SQL skills for data exploration, validation, and analysis
• Proficiency in Python (and/or R) for modeling and analysis
• Strong analytical judgment and problem-solving skills
• Ability to clearly communicate complex analytical concepts
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
