THE ROLE

As Head of Data Science, you'll lead a high-performing team of data scientists and a product manager, owning the end-to-end lifecycle of machine learning models-from ideation to production. You'll work cross-functionally with engineering, product, and operations teams to scope high-ROI initiatives and ensure scalable, ethical deployment of models via batch inference and real-time APIs.

This is a highly visible role reporting to executive leadership, offering autonomy, strategic influence, and the opportunity to shape the future of AI across the business.

  • Collaborate with data engineering and MLOps teams to ensure scalable and reliable pipelines using Snowflake, DataRobot, and real-time APIs.
  • Champion best practices in model governance, explainability, and responsible AI.
  • Present insights and strategy recommendations to executive stakeholders in a compelling, accessible manner.

YOUR SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

Required:

  • 10+ years in data science or machine learning, with 2+ years in a formal leadership or player-coach role.
  • Strong expertise in Python and SQL, with deep understanding of supervised and unsupervised learning.
  • Proven experience deploying and monitoring ML models in production environments (batch and real-time).
  • Track record of cross-functional collaboration with engineering, product, and business leaders.
  • Familiarity with model deployment platforms like DataRobot, Sagemaker, or similar.
  • Experience with Snowflake-native ML or integrated MLOps workflows.
  • Strong communication skills and business acumen-able to influence at the executive level.

Nice to Have:

  • Background in financial services, lending, or high-volume consumer products.
  • Exposure to prescriptive analytics and optimization techniques.

BENEFITS

  • Competitive compensation and equity
  • Fully remote flexibility
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • High-visibility role with executive sponsorship
  • Opportunity to build a cutting-edge ML function from the ground up
