• Lead modeling engagements end-to-end, including interfacing with business, governance, UX, and technology stakeholders; articulating clear business use cases; delivering on project plans; and working with large, complex datasets - including geospatial, demographic, transactional, and behavioral data - to formulate testable business hypotheses. 
• Translate technical model outputs into clear, actionable recommendations for non-technical business partners in Real Estate, Finance, and Market Strategy. 
• Partner with governance teams to expedite fair and thorough model reviews, track performance metrics, and maintain adherence to regulatory compliance standards. 

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Deep expertise in at least one of the following, with meaningful exposure to at least one other: 
  • Geospatial analytics, spatial statistics, or spatial optimization 
  • Graph neural networks, network science, or graph-based optimization 
  • Reinforcement learning, multi-armed bandits, or online/continuous learning 
  • Behavioral modeling, adaptive intervention design, or human performance optimization 

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Hold a PhD in a relevant discipline.
• Experience developing advanced AI or ML models in consumer finance, logistics, major retailers, or AI-native platforms. 
• Experience with at least one of the following: geospatial tools and libraries (e.g., GeoPandas, PySAL, H3, Esri/ArcGIS, Carto, Wherobots, QGIS), graph ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch Geometric, DGL, NetworkX), RL libraries (e.g., RLlib, Stable Baselines, Vowpal Wabbit). 
• Familiarity with behavioral science concepts (e.g., nudge theory, decision theory) or experience building adaptive, continuous learning, or recommendation systems.
