Position Summary:

The Analyst I Data Science leads higher-complexity work within the Human Resources Group (HRG), owning major deliverables, improving delivery quality, and translating business, data, technology, product, or process needs into reliable outcomes. This role operates with greater independence than the unprefixed level and is expected to lead workstreams, resolve ambiguity, mentor peers, and manage stakeholder expectations across HR, analytics, technology, operations, and transformation partners.

The Analyst I – Data Science supports HRG by applying statistical analysis, machine learning, experimentation, forecasting, and advanced analytics techniques to workforce and HR business problems. This role partners with HR leaders, data engineers, data analysts, business insights analysts, product teams, and governance partners to develop explainable, ethical, and actionable analytical solutions.

The role is responsible for framing analytical problems, preparing data, building and evaluating models, ML Ops, communicating findings, and supporting responsible deployment of predictive or AI-enabled insights. Success requires statistical rigor, business context, coding capability, responsible AI awareness, and clear communication.

Responsibilities:

Senior-Level Ownership & Delivery Leadership

- Lead complex deliverables, workstreams, analyses, designs, builds, or implementation of activities with limited oversight.
- Translate ambiguous stakeholder needs into clear scope, success measures, requirements, plans, technical outputs, or recommendations.
- Review deliverables for accuracy, usability, governance alignment, stakeholder readiness, and business value before release or handoff.
- Mentor less experienced team members by sharing standards, reviewing work, and reinforcing documentation, testing, and delivery discipline.
- Identify delivery risks, data or process limitations, technical dependencies, and stakeholder alignment issues early and recommend practical mitigation actions.

Advanced Analytics & Modeling

- Develop production level statistical, predictive, forecasting, segmentation, classification, natural language, or machine learning analyses for HR and workforce use cases.
- Prepare features, evaluate model performance, document assumptions, and compare modeling approaches based on business needs and data quality.
- Support experiments, pilots, model validations, and analytical prototypes that inform HR decisions and transformation priorities.

Responsible AI, Evaluation & Documentation

- Document model purpose, data sources, assumptions, limitations, performance metrics, risks, and appropriate use cases.
- Support fairness, bias, explainability, privacy, and governance reviews for models or AI-enabled analytical outputs.
- Validate results with business stakeholders and avoid unsupported or overly deterministic interpretations of workforce data.

Insight Translation & Partnership

- Partner with HR domain experts, product analysts, business insights analysts, and data teams to frame problems and interpret results in context.
- Translate advanced analytical findings into practical recommendations, decision options, and measurable next steps.
- Support operationalization of models, model monitoring, and feedback loops in partnership with engineering and governance teams.

AI-Augmented Data Science

- Use approved AI tools to support code drafting,



exploratory analysis, feature brainstorming, documentation, model comparison summaries, and research synthesis.
- Validate AI-assisted code, findings, and modeling recommendations through reproducible methods and peer review.

- Experience mentoring others, improving team standards, or contributing to repeatable methods, documentation, templates, or quality practices.
- Experience with statistical analysis, machine learning, predictive modeling, forecasting, NLP, experimentation, or advanced analytics projects.
- Experience using Python, R, SQL, or similar tools for data preparation, modeling, evaluation, and visualization.
- Experience communicating analytical findings, model limitations, and business implications to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Must Have Skills

- Ability to independently lead complex workstreams or deliverables from intake through execution, validation, and stakeholder communication.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, including the ability to clarify expectations, manage dependencies, communicate risks, and influence decisions without direct authority.
- Demonstrated ability to review work for quality, accuracy,



business relevance, data sensitivity, and operational readiness.
- Ability to mentor peers or junior team members and reinforce standards, documentation practices, and repeatable delivery methods.
