You'll spend most of your time deep in the data building models, running analysis, and shipping work that clients act on — while taking full ownership of your workstreams and helping level up more junior members of the team. /n /n The role centers on three things: /n ● Deep technical craft — you're excellent in the data and hold a high bar for your own work. /n ● Ownership of delivery — you own your workstreams end-to-end, from ambiguous problems to clear /n recommendation, and you deliver reliably. /n ● Clear communication — you present findings with confidence, work directly with clients in your /n areas, and explain complex ideas simply. /n /n If you love being close to the work, take pride in producing rigorous analysis, and enjoy turning messy /n problems into clear answers, we'd love to talk. /n /n Key Responsibilities /n Hands-On Data Science &
• Analytics /n /n ● Write SQL and Python, build models, run analysis, and create dashboards — this is the core of the /n role, day in and day out. /n ● Design, build, and deploy end-to-end ML models for lending use cases such as credit scoring, risk /n assessment, default and early-warning prediction, fraud detection, and customer segmentation. /n ● Own the full modeling lifecycle: exploratory analysis, feature engineering, model selection, /n validation, and performance monitoring. /n ● Partner with client stakeholders to answer key business questions with data — running ad hoc /n deep-dives and recurring analyses that inform product, risk, pricing, and operational decisions. /n ● Own portfolio and performance analytics — tracking and explaining metrics such as application /n and funding conversion, approval rates, delinquency, charge-offs, roll rates, and vintage/cohort /n performance. /n ● Credit Risk Analytics to evaluate changes to credit policy, product, and pricing,
and translate the /n results into transparent, actionable recommendations. /n ● Design intuitive Tableau dashboards and automated reporting that drive decisions across product, /n risk, and operations. /n ● Follow and help improve best practices for reproducible, scalable, production-ready work. /n /n Delivery &
• Client Collaboration /n ● Own the delivery of your workstreams end-to-end — scoping, planning, execution, and on-time /n delivery. /n ● Work directly with client stakeholders on your areas of the project, building trusted relationships /n and staying close to their needs. /n ● Translate ambiguous, open-ended business problems into well-defined analyses with clear /n deliverables and timelines. /n ● Communicate progress clearly, surface risks early, and keep your work on track. /n ● Present findings and recommendations to both technical and executive audiences with clarity and /n confidence. /n /n Mentorship &

reliable work. /n ● Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, or a related quantitative field. /n /n Nice-to-Have: /n ● Background in fintech, credit risk, or lending — a strong plus that will help you ramp quickly with the /n client. /n ● Experience mentoring junior data scientists or analysts. /n ● Experience with cloud data platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure). /n ● Familiarity with MLOps and model deployment pipelines. /n ● Experience in a consulting environment. /n ● Comfort working with US-based / distributed clients across time zones. /n ● Knowledge of Git, CI/CD, and modern data workflows. /n /n What Success Looks Like /n ● First 30 days: You've ramped up on the client's data and priorities, built good working relationships /n with the team, and taken ownership of your first workstreams. /n ● Within 3 months: You're consistently shipping high-quality, high-impact work, trusted to run with /n complex problems on your own — and you've become a go-to technical contributor the client and /n team rely on. /n /n What Makes You a Great Fit /n ⭐ Problem-Solver Mindset - You enjoy tackling challenges and finding innovative solutions /n ⭐ Excellent Troubleshooting Abilities - You can quickly diagnose and resolve technical issues under pressure /n ⭐ Curiosity &
