• Work with large, complex datasets to develop practical solutions that balance speed, accuracy, and usability.
• Embed solutions into business workflows to ensure adoption and sustained impact.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to align on priorities, navigate ambiguity, and deliver results.

What You Will Bring

• Proven experience delivering end-to-end AI, machine learning, or data-driven solutions in large, complex organizations, from concept through to production and business adoption.
• Strong technical skills in Python and SQL, including building data pipelines and working with large-scale datasets and distributed data platforms (e.g., BigQuery, Snowflake, Hadoop or similar).
• Experience applying data science, machine learning, or data engineering approaches within data-intensive domains such as Finance or Operations.
• Proficiency with BI tools such as Tableau or Looker to support decision-making and insight generation.
• Ability to translate complex, ambiguous problems into scalable, maintainable solutions, with sound judgement on simplicity versus sophistication.
