Job Description
Aimpoint Digital is a premier analytics consulting firm with a mission to drive business value for clients through expertise in data strategy, data analytics, decision science, data engineering and infrastructure. This position is within our Decision Science practice which focuses on delivering solutions via optimization, simulation techniques, machine learning, and statistical modelling.
What you will do
As a part of Aimpoint Digital, you will focus on enabling clients to get the most out of their data. You will work with all levels of the client organization to build value driving solutions that extract insights and then train them on how to manage and maintain these solutions. Typical solutions will utilize machine learning, artificial intelligence, statistical analysis, automation, optimization, and/or data visualizations. A Principal Decision Scientist will define high-level business objectives directly with clients, then develop and execute the project plan to meet those objectives. You will proactively research and apply knowledge within the data science space to deliver best-in-class solutions. You will lead both small and large teams over the entire data science lifecycle – from problem definition to model automation and deployment. As a Principal, you will be expected to provide technical leadership to guide development work across teams while also owning and delivering specific technical components yourself. A Principal Decision Scientist will also manage all aspects of client relationships and create value-driving initiatives for the company.
