Lead Data Scientist - Talent Pool...

About Faculty At Faculty, we transform organisational
performance through safe, impactful and human-centric AI. With a
decade of experience, we provide over 300 global customers with
software, bespoke AI consultancy, and Fellows from our award
winning Fellowship programme. Our expert team brings together
leaders from across government, academia and global tech giants to
solve the biggest challenges in applied AI. Should you join us,
you’ll have the chance to work with, and learn from, some of the
brilliant minds who are bringing Frontier AI to the frontlines of
the world. We're always on the lookout for talented individuals
whose principles and interests align with our own. While we don't
have a specific vacancy open at the moment, by registering your
interest for the Senior Data Scientist Talent Pool, you'll be among
the first to hear about job openings in our Frontier Team that
align with your experience when they go live. What you'll be doing:
As a Lead Data Scientist within Frontier, you will lead the data
science work on project teams that are configuring our product
Frontier for our customers. Each deployment of Frontier requires a
computational twin, essentially an AI-powered digital twin, to be
built, and it is primarily the responsibility of our data
scientists to both design and then build these computational twins.
Whilst doing this well is partly about building familiarity with
Frontier’s development interfaces, it’s mainly about doing things
that are critical in any applied data science role; namely deeply
understanding the core customer problem in order to ensure that the
technical solution can drive value. In terms of more technical
activities, the build of a computational twin involves a bunch of
tasks common to all data science work such as EDA, model building,
and model evaluation. In terms of other activities you’ll do in the
role: - You’ll be a leader within a cross-functional delivery team,
working closely with engineers, designers, and commercial roles to
deliver value to customers. Working closely with the leads of these
other functions you’ll ultimately be responsible for the successful
delivery. - You will help our excellent commercial team build
strong relationships with clients, shaping the direction of both
current and future projects. - You will play an important role in
the development of other data scientists at Faculty through
activity management and potentially line management of others. Who
we're looking for: - Leadership experience in either a professional
data science position or a quantitative academic field - Strong
python programming skills as evidenced by earlier work in data
science or software engineering. - An excellent command of the
basic libraries for data science (e.g. NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-Learn)
and familiarity with a deep-learning framework (e.g. TensorFlow,
PyTorch, Caffe) - A high level of mathematical competence and
proficiency in statistics - A solid grasp of essentially all of the
standard data science techniques, for example,
supervised/unsupervised machine learning, model cross validation,
Bayesian inference, time-series analysis, simple NLP, effective SQL
database querying, or using/writing simple APIs for models. We
regard the ability to develop new algorithms when an innovative
solution is needed as a fundamental skill - A leadership mindset
focussed on growing the technical capabilities of the team; a
caring attitude towards the personal and professional development
of other data scientists; enthusiasm for nurturing a collaborative
and dynamic culture - An appreciation for the scientific method as
applied to the commercial world; a talent for converting business
problems into a mathematical framework; resourcefulness in
overcoming difficulties through creativity and commitment; a
rigorous mindset in evaluating the performance and impact of models
upon deployment - Some commercial experience, particularly if this
involved client-facing work or project management; eagerness to
work alongside our clients; business awareness and an ability to
gauge the commercial value of projects; outstanding written and
verbal communication skills; persuasiveness when presenting to a
large or important audience - Experience leading a team of data
scientists (to deliver innovative work according to a strict
timeline) as well as experience in composing a project plan, in
assessing its technical feasibility, and in estimating the time to
delivery - A product mindset, able to understand the needs of users
and to learn how Frontier delivers them value What we can offer
you: The Faculty team is diverse and distinctive, and we all come
from different personal, professional and organisational
backgrounds. We all have one thing in common: we are driven by a
deep intellectual curiosity that powers us forward each day.
Faculty is the professional challenge of a lifetime. You’ll be
surrounded by an impressive group of brilliant minds working to
achieve our collective goals. Our consultants, product developers,
business development specialists, operations professionals and more
all bring something unique to Faculty, and you’ll learn something
new from everyone you meet. #J-18808-Ljbffr
