Data Scientist
The Opportunity:
In this role, you will apply data science techniques and methods and leverage a suite of data-driven tools to aid the client's service leadership and subject matter experts to increase decision space, understand strategic risk, and develop courses of action. Employ expert judgment, adaptable methodologies, repeatable analytic processes, and enterprise-wide collaboration to provide routine, special interest, and alert-triggered campaign assessments, and when necessary, facilitate and synchronize enterprise-level campaign adjustment. You will help DoD senior leadership mobilize for long-term campaigning, marshal DoD resources and actions against desired strategic outcomes, and maneuver the department with greater precision and effect to persistently pursue opportunity and mitigate risk vis-a-vis the pacing rival. Analysts are tasked with utilizing a flexible and foundational toolset that will add value across campaigning topics. Analysts will blend functional area knowledge with an ability to identify data sources, manipulate data, use data analytics tools, understand and anticipate strategic intent, and communicate with senior DoD leaders.
As a data scientist, you're excited at the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by a data set, and you're fascinated by the possibilities presented by IoT, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. In an increasingly connected world, massive amounts of structured and unstructured data open new opportunities. As a data scientist at Booz Allen, you can turn these complex data sets into useful information to solve global challenges across private and public sectors from fraud detection to cancer research, to national intelligence, we need a seasoned data scientist like you to help find the answers in the data.
On our team, you'll use your leadership skills and data science expertise to create real-world impact. You'll work closely with clients to understand their questions and needs in order to then dig into their data-rich environments to find the pieces of their information puzzle. You'll guide and mentor your team as you oversee the development of algorithms and systems. You'll use the right combination of tools and frameworks to turn sets of disparate data points into objective answers to advise your clients as they make informed decisions. As a technical leader, you'll identify new opportunities to use data science solutions to help your clients meet their toughest challenges. Ultimately, you'll provide a deep understanding of the data, what it all means, and how it can be used.
What You'll Work On:

• Design and execute statistical analyses on large, complex datasets from multiple sources.
• Develop production-quality data visualizations, plots, and dashboards for technical and executive audiences.
• Lead data science projects from scoping through delivery, ensuring analytical rigor and alignment with mission objectives.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate strategic questions into analytical approaches and deliver actionable insights.
• Respond to ad-hoc analytical requests while managing competing priorities and deadlines in an agile workflow.
• Mentor junior data scientists and establish best practices for reproducible, well-documented analyses.
• Communicate complex statistical findings to both technical teams and senior DoD leadership.
