We convert operational data into decision grade analytics that improve assignment strategies benchmark productivity and align capacity with demand.

We are hiring a Junior Data Scientist to support the work effort assessment and modeling. With guidance from senior team members you will help build pipelines and quality checks develop statistical and simulation models that explain and predict claim/exposure durations and action frequencies evaluate segmentation and assignment strategies and support work effort-based staffing forecasts and optimization.

This role may have in office requirements based on candidate location. Level of position offered will be based on skills and experience at manager discretion.

Responsibilities:

• Support development of scalable data pipelines and automated quality controls (schema completeness drift) across multiple sources.

• Build statistical models for duration and action frequency; build exposure/phase level features and run exploratory/variance analyses.

• Assist in clustering/segmentation and hypothesis testing to quantify efficiency and service impacts. Help build and run simulation models to compare assignment policies; analyze results and create scenario comparisons.

• Help building work effort-based demand forecasts and staffing models; implement components of optimization models with supervision.
