What is the difference between Data Scientist Contract vs Data Analyst Contract?
| Aspect | Data Scientist Contract | Data Analyst Contract |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's/Master's in Data Science, Statistics, or related fields; experience with machine learning | Bachelor's in Statistics, Mathematics, or related fields; proficiency in data visualization and SQL |
| Work Environment | Advanced analytics, predictive modeling, machine learning projects | Data cleaning, reporting, data visualization tasks |

You will independently drive complex cross-functional initiatives from definition through adoption. Over time you will extend these practices across the broader team, operating as an internal center of excellence for how we model, build, and ship data products. Our ideal candidate combines strong analytical foundations with a product mindset someone who thrives at the intersection of data modeling, data product design, and marketing measurement, with a bias for shipping working assets over polishing decks.

What you bringBasic
8+ years of experience in analytics, data science, or marketing measurement
Experience pulling insight from raw data and shipping durable models and products

Experience with marketing measurement concepts (attribution, incrementality, media mix)

Experience with a BI platform (Tableau, Looker, Hex, or equivalent)
Preferred
