Requirements

What you’ll need

7+ years of experience in data science, machine learning, operations research, applied AI, or a related field, including 3+ years leading teams.
Have built or led the development of models or decision systems that operated in production and influenced meaningful business or customer outcomes.
Can determine whether a problem calls for prediction, optimization, experimentation, simulation, workflow redesign, an AI agent, or no model at all.
Understand that successful applied AI requires more than choosing a model. It requires clear objectives, reliable data and tools, rigorous evaluation, thoughtful system design, and appropriate human oversight.
Experience partnering with Product, Engineering, Operations, and senior business stakeholders on ambiguous, cross-functional problems.
Comfortable working with imperfect operational data while maintaining a high standard for measurement and technical rigor.
Can communicate clearly with technical, operational, and executive audiences.
Have a bias toward action and an iterative approach to problem-solving. You are willing to inspect the data, understand the workflow, prototype solutions, and revise your view.
Are an effective people leader who can set clear expectations, develop talent, prioritize work, and build a strong technical culture.
