Key skills for this role
About the Role
Stellar Technologies is seeking a Data Science Consultant to lead data-driven projects, build analytical solutions, and translate findings for clients. Requires a PhD or Master's in a quantitative field and 3+ years of experience in strategy consulting or analytics.
Key Skills for This Role
Responsibilities
- Lead the delivery of a broad range of projects and services across Value Creation Insights and other engagements that carry significant business and/or technical complexity.
- Act as the translator between business and technical requirements — shaping project scope, defining customization needs, and packaging outcomes so they land clearly with business executives.
- Support the Executive Team and Sales in building proposals that require a tailored approach, and align resourcing with the delivery team accordingly.
- Build custom analytical approaches for insights that fall outside Stellar’s standard data pipelines — this means hands on coding in Python/SQL, and continuously checking and improving model, classification, and clustering performance while correcting for content bias.
- Own quality control across both standard data pipelines (from data lineage and sourcing through to insight generation) and custom built approaches — reviewing outputs from both a business and a technical lens, and iterating until the outcome is right.
- Translate findings into clear, executive ready PowerPoint presentations and Power BI dashboards.
- Represent Stellar in client read outs, presenting results directly to client stakeholders.
- Manage handovers to clients and stay accountable for their ongoing success with the solution delivered.
- Support the Value Creation Insights Product Lead on broader solution development work alongside day to day client delivery.
- Follow Stellar’s information security policies, procedures, and standards within the scope of the role, and support our ISO certification and ISMS commitments.
- Proactively identify and push for improvements, building the case for their inclusion in the product/solutions roadmap.
Requirements
- PhD or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Econometrics, or Engineering, with at least one year of business curriculum and one year of data/analytics/statistics curriculum.
- 3+ years of professional experience, ideally in strategy consulting, spanning a broad range of projects — with at least one year specifically in Growth, Strategy, and Marketing.
- Strong command of quantitative methods for data analysis.
- Demonstrated track record building robust analytics solutions, not just prototypes.
- Ability to quickly get to grips with complex business topics, structure problems clearly, form and test hypotheses, and carry a solution through to execution.
- Strong communication skills — structured, empathetic, and emotionally intelligent, especially in client facing settings.
- Working knowledge of supervised and unsupervised learning model evaluation, data transformation, data visualization, core Python data science packages (pandas, numpy, scipy, scikit learn, etc.), NLP packages such as spaCy, and Transformer/LLM based NLP pipelines.
- Working knowledge of software engineering fundamentals: Python, SQL and databases, Git, API/web service development (e.g., FastAPI).
- Working familiarity with MLOps, SSH, Linux terminal, Bash, UI development (app or web based), system architecture, and agile methodologies.
- Fluency in English, written and spoken.
- A respectful team player with high ethical standards.
