Lead, mentor, and grow a team of junior, intermediate, and senior data scientists — setting technical direction, enabling individual development, and cultivating a high-performance team culture

Establish and uphold team standards around code quality, experimentation rigour, model governance, and responsible AI practices
Drive adoption and evolution of ML infrastructure on Databricks and Azure (Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, AKS), including MLOps practices such as CI/CD, model versioning, and drift detection
Champion LLM and generative AI initiatives — including RAG architecture, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and agentic frameworks — ensuring they are evaluated rigorously and deployed responsibly
Recruit and retain top data science talent; lead hiring, onboarding, and performance management processes
Represent data science internally and externally, communicating technical concepts and tradeoffs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
Requirements
Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in computer science, statistics, mathematics, data science, or a related quantitative field
7+ years of applied data science or machine learning experience, including at least 2 years in a people management or technical lead capacity
