- Independently execute the Attribution and Optimization model balancing accuracy
- Communicate and translate results in the context of the business and quantify uncertainty
- Help Decision Scientists, Business Analysts, and Data Science leadership recommend strategies and operational tactics under uncertainty
- Develop compelling measurement plans and model/forecast scoring methods to track predictions against actuals (while considering the cumulative and delayed effects of marketing efforts and uncertainty)
- Design, develop and program methods, processes, and systems to consolidate and analyze unstructured, diverse “big data” sources to generate actionable insights and solutions to generate business impact
- Work across multi-disciplinary teams to translate business needs into testable hypotheses and design experiments to test said hypotheses
- Collaborate with other members of the team to support investigation across a variety of topics
- Research, recommend, and apply appropriate statistical, econometric, mathematical, and computational modeling concepts across domains
- Work with Machine Learning Engineers to convert experimental code to production code
- Unit test production model code to ensure quality
- Take an active role in recruiting, training, guiding, and mentoring junior team members
- Ensure data and code integrity by conducting documentation and code reviews
- Implement strategic analyses with the know-how to balance getting the details right, while still moving at the speed of business
