  • Ensure end-to-end delivery: Lead initiatives from data discovery and experimentation through production deployment, adoption, governance, and value realization.
  • Scale capabilities: Establish reusable methodologies, frameworks, and MLOps practices that enable solutions to scale across categories and business areas.

Leadership, Governance, and Value

  • Measure business value: Define success metrics and demonstrate the measurable impact of Data Science, ML, and AI investments.
  • Lead and develop talent: Coach and develop data scientists and analysts while fostering technical excellence, innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.
  • Collaborate across Data & Analytics and Technology: Partner with CIE, Data Engineering, Data Products, and Technology teams to deliver scalable, governed solutions aligned with enterprise standards.
  • Champion responsible AI: Promote strong practices for model governance, explainability, data quality, privacy, and responsible AI adoption.

What you’ll need

  • Master’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related quantitative discipline; an advanced business degree is an asset.
  • At least eight years of experience in Data Science, Machine Learning, Advanced Analytics, or a related field, including three or more years in leadership roles delivering large-scale initiatives.

  • Proficiency in Python, SQL, and R, with hands-on experience using cloud data platforms such as Azure, Snowflake, or Databricks.
  • Working knowledge of data engineering workflows, including ETL, batch and real-time processing, model deployment, MLOps, and version control.

Leadership and Business Capabilities

  • Strong commercial mindset and demonstrated ability to translate data, analytics, and AI/ML insights into clear decisions, strategies, and business outcomes.
  • Proven experience in talent acquisition, team development, coaching, and mentoring.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to audiences at all levels and influence senior leaders across geographies.
  • Demonstrated success collaborating with cross-functional partners, including Data Engineering, Architecture, and Data Cloud Platform teams.
  • Ability to prioritize multiple initiatives, communicate timelines clearly, and drive work proactively to completion.
  • Adaptability, curiosity, and a commitment to continuous learning across business and technology domains.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
