About The Position

CLA is a top 10 national professional services firm focused on creating opportunities for clients, people, and communities through industry-focused wealth advisory, digital, audit, tax, consulting, and outsourcing services. With over 8,500 people, 130 U.S. locations, and a global reach, CLA is dedicated to building a culture that embraces diverse beliefs and perspectives. As a Data Scientist Manager, you will excel at constructing complex solutions that integrate data wrangling, visualization, and advanced modeling techniques into seamless workflows using software development best practices in R, Python, or other scripting languages. You will be proficient in working with APIs, web scraping, and SQL/no-SQL databases. Data Scientists at CLA often automate business workflows and integrate stochastic/numeric algorithms. A key aspect of the role involves creating and modifying predictive algorithms to uncover and answer business questions. Products are typically delivered as scheduled deployments, markdown reports, dashboards, shiny applications, or APIs. Unlike a Senior role, the Manager will have greater autonomy in developing solutions, leading others, handling administrative tasks, performing support roles, and engaging in new business development.
