The Assoc Data Science Analyst builds data products that extract insights from datasets. He retrieves and analyzes diverse datasets, and assesses the quality and perform transformations to prepare the data to be ready for more advanced analysis.
He/She applies statistical, algorithmic, mining and visualisation techniques on datasets and develop model of high technical quality. He assists with setting up environments conducive for analysing data, develop and document analysis scripts, summarising results and developing conclusions . He possesses a combination of analytic, machine learning, data mining and statistical skills as well as experience with algorithms and coding.
He has interest in uncovering patterns in underlying complex data. He possesses data intuition and curiosity to learn and master application of new techniques on diverse real-world data, and tenacity to solve problems when encountering new unknown scenarios.
