About the Job

We are seeking a Data Scientist who will lead analytical design, model development, and experimental on across high-impact customer analytics initiatives such as Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), Predictive NPS/CSAT, Churn/Retention, and Customer Segmentation. The ideal candidate has strong hands-on expertise in predictive modelling, large-scale distributed computing (PySpark), and real-world deployment experience. A proven ability to work with large, complex datasets to translate business needs into scalable analytical solutions.

Your Main Duties Will Include:

Customer Analytics & Predictive Modelling

  • Build and maintain CLV models (historical and/or predictive) incorporating revenue, costs, engagement signals, and churn/retention.
  • Develop predictive NPS, satisfaction, and churn models to identify high-risk customers and key drivers of experience.
  • Design customer segmentation (value-based, behavioral, RFM, clustering, predictive) to support targeting, campaigns, and product design.
  • Ensure all models are robust, monitored, and explainable, with clear links to business objectives and measurable impact.

Data Wrangling & Feature Engineering

  • Work with large, complex datasets from multiple sources such as CRM, transactional and interaction data, digital journeys, contact center data, and surveys/VoC.
  • Use PySpark, Python, and SQL to clean, transform, and join data; build scalable feature pipelines.
  • Partner with engineering to productionize models via batch jobs, APIs, and dashboards; ensure reliability and performance.

Evaluation & Explainability

  • Define and track relevant metrics (AUC, F1, uplift, calibration, segment performance, stability, etc.).
  • Use explainability techniques (feature importance, SHAP, or similar) to communicate model behavior clearly.
  • Contribute to documentation, model monitoring, and retraining plans to sustain performance over time.

Stakeholder Engagement & Storytelling

  • Translate business questions into clear analytical problems, hypotheses, and success criteria.
  • Present insights and recommendations to CX, Marketing, Product, Digital, and Operations stakeholders.
  • Prepare concise decks, summaries, and dashboards to support decisions and drive adoption.

Requirements:

Experience

  • 4+ years of hands-on experience in Data Science and Predictive Modelling within established or high-growth organizations.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.
  • Proven experience in end-to-end delivery of data science solutions—from problem framing and data preparation to model deployment and monitoring.
  • Demonstrated delivery of at least one (production or advanced PoC) of the following:
    • CLV / Profitability
    • Churn / Propensity
    • Predictive NPS / CSAT
    • Customer segmentation at scale

Technical Skills (Must-Have)

  • Strong proficiency in Python (pandas, scikit-learn, MLlib, or similar libraries).
  • Strong proficiency in PySpark and working with large datasets on distributed platforms.
  • Advanced SQL skills for complex querying, data transformation, and performance optimization.
  • Experience using Power BI, Tableau, or similar tools for analytics, dashboards, and data storytelling.
  • Experience with MLflow (or similar) for experiment tracking, model versioning, and lifecycle management.
  • Solid understanding and hands-on experience with core Data Science concepts, including:
    • Supervised learning: classification, regression, uplift modelling
    • Unsupervised learning: clustering, dimensionality reduction
    • Feature engineering, model tuning, and validation
  • Experience working in a cloud or big data environment (Azure, AWS, GCP, Databricks, or similar).

Preferred Qualifications (Bonus)

  • Experience with Experience Management platforms such as Medallia, Qualtrics, or similar.
  • Strong practical MLOps habits (monitoring, drift checks, reproducible pipelines, CI/CD collaboration).
  • Exposure to NLP and text analytics (e.g., survey verbatims, call-center transcripts, complaint logs) applied to customer experience or insight use cases.
