You know how to ask Data Science the right questions. Then, you turn their output into a story.\nExcellent written and verbal communication; able to synthesize complexity into something leadership can act on quickly\nHighly organized, low-ego, and energized by making other people's work easier and more coherent\nExperience leading or managing a team is a plus, though this role may start as an individual contributor\nExperience in a fast paced, regulated, or high-stakes industry is a plus\nFor positions that will be based in CA, the annual salary range for this position is below.
