Are you passionate about machine learning, predictive analytics and AI?
If so, this is the perfect opportunity to join a team where you would primarily work in data science / building classical machine learning solutions - such as CLV and Churn Models that have a serious impact on the business.
Of course they have Gen AI for productivity and some plans for different projects with AI features as well, but your main focus is in more traditional data science work.
About the role:
This is a large leading telco with millions of customers, based in Sydney.
As a Senior Data Scientist, you will often work in projects with a Lead DS, but you might also be the technical lead for some projects and mentor juniors.
Your focus is on customer and product outcomes - so having past experience building machine learning and predictive modelling around Customer Segmentation, Lifetime Value, Churn and Recommendation systems would be relevant.
Consulting or internal consulting experience (managing business stakeholders, presenting ideas, updates and insights) is key.
