Data Scientist

Randstad Digital
Cary, NC Remote Full Time
POSTED ON 4/25/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/25/2026
job summary:

We're looking for a Senior Data Scientist to help accelerate our predictive



analytics capabilities. This role is a senior individual contributor position focused on



identifying high-value modeling opportunities, shaping the predictive modeling roadmap,



and translating business questions into scalable analytical solutions.



This is not a people management role, but it is a leadership role. You will act as a



functional leader for predictive modeling work across the organization - helping define



priorities, guiding technical direction, and partnering very closely with our Advanced



Analytics team in to deliver high-quality modeling solutions.



You'll sit at the intersection of business context and technical execution. That means



working closely with Strategy Analytics and business stakeholders to frame the right



problems, while partnering with technical peers to ensure models are rigorous,



production-minded, and useful in practice. This is a high-impact role for someone who



can move comfortably from ambiguous business questions to deployable predictive



solutions.



Lead Predictive Modeling Roadmap & Prioritization



 Identify, size, and prioritize predictive modeling opportunities across customer,



marketplace, marketing, and operational use cases.



 Help shape the roadmap for modeling work based on business value, feasibility,



data readiness, and organizational priorities.



 Partner with Strategy Analytics, Product, Marketing, Merchandising, Finance, and



other stakeholders to translate ambiguous business questions into clear data



science opportunities.



 Ensure predictive work is aligned to measurable business outcomes, not just



technical exploration.



Build High-Impact Predictive Solutions



 Design, build, validate, and refine predictive models that improve decision-



making across the business.



 Apply the right methods for the problem, including classification, regression,



forecasting, segmentation, propensity modeling, and related machine learning or



statistical techniques.



 Develop approaches for use cases such as customer re-engagement, retention,



demand forecasting, scoring, prioritization, and other predictive decision-support



workflows.



 Define success metrics, validation frameworks, and measurement approaches



that balance model performance with business usefulness.



 Partner on deployment and activation so model outputs can be embedded into



reporting, workflows, or downstream decision processes.



Partner Closely with Advanced Analytics Team



 Work hand-in-hand with the Advanced Analytics team to scope



projects, define requirements, review approaches, and maintain quality.



 Functionally lead modeling work across a distributed team structure, even



without direct people management responsibility.



 Create clarity around priorities, deliverables, timelines, and modeling standards



so work moves efficiently and consistently.



 Support a strong operating rhythm across roadmap planning, project execution,



review, and continuous improvement.



Improve Modeling Standards & Ways of Working



 Help establish best practices for feature design, validation, model documentation,



interpretability, monitoring, and refresh cadence.



 Contribute to reusable approaches for model development, experimentation,



scoring, and model performance management.



 Partner with analytics engineering and data platform peers to improve ML-ready



datasets, feature pipelines, and activation-ready data products.



 Raise the bar on how predictive analytics is communicated so stakeholders



understand both the opportunity and the limitations of the work.



Influence Decisions Across the Organization



 Present modeling results and recommendations clearly to technical and non-



technical audiences.



 Explain what the model says, why it matters, how confident we should be, and



what the business should do next.



 Act as a thought partner to leaders by connecting predictive outputs to



prioritization, planning, and execution decisions.



 Help the organization mature from descriptive analytics toward more forward-



looking, model-informed decision-making.



Technical Environment & Tools



This role will work in a modern analytics environment centered on tools and practices



already reflected across our analytics hiring, including Snowflake, dbt, Sigma,



orchestration frameworks, and AI-assisted development workflows.



You should bring strong experience with many of the following:



 SQL for data extraction, transformation, feature development, and analytical QA



 Python for modeling, experimentation, analysis, and automation



 Machine learning and statistical libraries such as scikit-learn, statsmodels,



XGBoost, or similar tools



 Snowflake or a comparable cloud data warehouse



 Familiarity with dbt and modern analytics engineering practices



 Experience working with BI and decision-support tools such as Sigma, Tableau,



Looker, or similar platforms



 Comfort working with orchestration frameworks such as Airflow, Dagster, or



Prefect



 Experience with version control and collaborative development practices such as



Git



 Familiarity with model monitoring, feature pipelines, scoring workflows, and



production-minded analytics processes



 Comfort using AI-assisted development tools responsibly for coding,



documentation, workflow acceleration, and analysis



Required



 5-8 years of experience in data science, predictive analytics, machine learning,



or a related quantitative field.



 Strong hands-on experience building predictive models in business settings, not



just academic or experimental environments.



 Strong foundation in statistics, machine learning, model evaluation, and



experimental thinking.



 Strong SQL and Python skills.



 Experience taking work from problem framing through model development,



validation, and business adoption.



 Ability to translate ambiguous business problems into structured analytical



approaches.



 Experience influencing priorities and leading complex workstreams without direct



people management authority.



 Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical work clearly to



non-technical stakeholders.



 Experience partnering effectively with cross-functional stakeholders and



distributed technical teams.



 A practical mindset: you know when to optimize for rigor, when to optimize for



speed, and how to deliver work that is actually useful to the business.



Preferred



 Experience in e-commerce, marketplace, customer, pricing, lifecycle, or growth



analytics.



 Experience with forecasting, customer propensity modeling, retention modeling,



or re-engagement use cases.



 Experience partnering with analytics engineering or data platform teams on



feature pipelines, governed datasets, and activation workflows.



 Experience productionizing model outputs into dashboards, operational



workflows, or downstream systems.



 Familiarity with model monitoring, retraining approaches, and ML ops concepts.



 Advanced degree in statistics, economics, mathematics, computer science, data



science, or a related quantitative field.
