The Chord Energy Data Science Supervisor is a working manager that will lead a small team of data scientists/ML engineers while staying hands-on building models yourself. The team develops, deploys, and monitors machine-learning solutions for subsurface (geology, geophysics, reservoir), operations (production, D&C, reliability), and back-office (supply chain, HSE, finance) use cases that drive measurable business value. This role presents an exciting opportunity for a seasoned data science supervisor to contribute to the advancement of Chord's data science transformation, leveraging expertise in data analytics to drive innovation and optimize operational outcomes. This position is located in downtown Houston, TX. Hybrid work schedule is an option for remote work on Mondays and Fridays. Level and salary commensurate with experience.
