Associate Data Scientist

About the Role

The Associate Data Scientist is a core contributor within the Enterprise Data & Analytics team, responsible for solving well-defined analytical and machine learning problems through strong technical execution. You will work closely with senior data scientists and data engineers to support the development, validation, and implementation of models across use cases. The primary responsibility of the Associate Data Scientist is to execute well-defined analytical tasks and model development activities based on clear guidance and established workflows. The role emphasizes accuracy, consistency, and disciplined validation of outputs, ensuring that models and analyses meet defined technical requirements. Over time, you will act as a foundation for developing more advanced analytical and problem-solving capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

Analytical Modelling & Technical Delivery

• Develop, test, and implement statistical and machine learning models under guidance from senior team members
