The most important skills and characteristics that will lead to success in this role are:

Compassion

Let’s assume that, on average, each of the 78,000 JBS employees goes home to two other family members each night. That means the company has an opportunity to impact over 234,000 lives each day. If you are a compassionate person, you will be passionate about this job, because you will be positively impacting thousands of people.

Optimism

Formally, we have seven key values that drive our culture at JBS – Humility, Sincerity, Simplicity, Discipline, Determination, Availability, and Ownership. We sometimes say that our eighth, unwritten value is optimism. If you’re looking for a job, this is likely to be one of, if not the, most challenging opportunities you come across. We also believe it has the chance to be the most rewarding one you have a chance to apply for. If you’re the type of person who wants to “be the change you want to see,” and is willing to come into work every day optimistic that we’ll achieve our goals, we want to work with you.

Leadership Skills

As the People Data Scientist, you will have the opportunity to trailblaze within People Analytics. You will be a leader within technical work groups and mentor talent among the business’s data analysts.

Strong Analytical Skills

This is a very analytical job. If you like looking for answers in data and using analysis to drive decision-making, and you are good at it, you will be right at home. The ability to analyze a problem conceptually and translate that concept into a functional analysis will be fundamental to your success. A strong understanding of statistical concepts, such as statistical vs. practical significance, correlation, causation, control variables, and regression analysis will help.

The Ability to Effectively Communicate with Others

You will have the opportunity to work with a wide range of people in this role, from executives to entry-level employees. The ability to relate to different types of people and understand their needs is a must. You will need to take complex concepts and communicate them in a way that is easily understood by someone who is learning about them for the first time.

The Willingness and Ability to Learn New Things

If you want to come to work every day and do the same repetitive tasks, this job may not be the best fit. There are certainly aspects of this job that will be repetitive, but you will be working on a variety of projects and building analyses and processes from the ground up. At times, you will be challenged to become a subject matter expert on something that you previously had no knowledge of. There will be plenty of support and guidance, but you will need to be willing to step outside of your comfort zone at times.

The applicant who fills this position will be eligible for the following compensation and benefits:

• Benefits: Vision, Medical, and Dental coverage begin after 60 days of employment;
• Paid Time Off: sick leave, vacation, and 6 company observed holidays;
• 401(k): company match begins after the first year of service and follows the company vesting schedule;
• Base salary range of $92,000-$113,000;
• Incentive Pay: This position is eligible to participate in the Company’s annual bonus plan, the amount of bonus varies and is subject to the standard terms and conditions of the incentive program; and
• Career Development: Our company is dedicated to supporting professional growth by offering continuous learning opportunities and a focus on career growth through various learning and development programs.

The posted salary range represents the Company’s good faith estimate of the compensation that the Company reasonably expects to pay for this role at the time of posting. Actual compensation will be determined based on factors including, but not limited to, relevant experience, skills, qualifications, tenure, internal equity, market data, and may vary accordingly.

This position does not have an application deadline. We will continue to recruit until the position has been filled.

The Company is dedicated to ensuring a safe and secure environment for our team members and visitors. To assist in achieving that goal, we conduct drug, alcohol, and background checks for all new team members post-offer and prior to the start of employment. The Immigration Reform and Control Act requires that verification of employment eligibility be documented for all new employees by the end of the third day of work.
