About Sr Lead Data Scientist

  Overview

  As a Sr. Lead Data Scientist, you will be responsible for leading and executing technically complex data science project work in support of many products within Field Operations analytics portfolios. The person in this role will work as part of a larger, cross-functional, full-stack execution team charged with designing, building, and deploying analytics products within the Field Operations analytics portfolio under the stewardship of the ED&A Service team within Enterprise Data & Analytics (ED&A).

  The Sr. Lead Data Scientist will leverage very strong exploratory data analysis skills to analyze and integrate a wide range of data in preparation for then applying or developing any needed methods, models, algorithms, and/or simulations to technically complex business problems. They may work under the direction of a more senior data scientist if they are asked to take on the most complex data science work. They must be able to quickly learn new subject-matter in support of a specific project or task. They will also typically be expected to develop increased proficiency in a skill specialization in one of several data science sub-disciplines (like causal inference, forecasting, simulation, optimization, machine learning, or deep learning). Our Sr. Lead Data Scientists typically work with more decision-making latitude for action or decisions on specific projects, solutions, or technical issues related to their work. They may lead the work of more junior data scientists and of 3rd party contingent or contract resources.

  Successful candidates for this role must have strong analytical and research skills, a strong understanding of statistics and statistical modeling, a working understanding of modern machine learning and its mathematical underpinnings, and they must have strong programming skills with SQL and with R or Python. They will need to be fast learners with a keen eye for detail, systems thinking, and process design. They must be team players who work steadfastly to create impactful change. This is a professional track role.

  Our Flexible Future model offers a healthy mix of working in person and remotely, strengthening key elements of the Chick-fil-A culture by fostering collaboration and community.
