Master’s Degree or equivalent in computer science, operations research, statistics, applied mathematics or related quantitative discipline
Two (2) years’ work experience in applying data science (machine learning, artificial intelligence, statistical analysis), operations research (optimization, algorithms, mathematical modeling), and data analytics modeling to decrease cost, increase profitability, and improve customer experience
Knowledge and general awareness of data science and machine learning tools and methods, including the iterative development of analysis pipelines to provide insights at scale
Familiarity with conducting end-to end analyses, including data gathering and requirements specification, processing, analysis, and presentations
