The Opportunity

• Help our customers develop an intuition as to how our models work and how our insights will deliver better outcomes for them

• Design and engineer informative new features and models that can help our clients to better understand their customers

• Become a champion of Data Science internally and participate in our data science community in partnership with product data science colleagues

• Contribute ideas to support new Data Science opportunities from customer data that can be transitioned into our product development and Data Science teams

• Are a passionate communicator and able to translate technical content in commercial terms for non-technical stakeholders, such as customers, sales and product teams

• Willing to travel to meet customers and prospects with our Client Success and/or sales teams (avg 2 short trips per quarter)
