Expert Senior Manager, Data Sciences, Software and Data Services, Coro

Bain & Company • Washington, DC

88d • $164,500 - $219,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

The Coro℠ business unit brings together Bain's proprietary suite of software-as-a-service (SaaS) and data-as-a-service (DaaS) tools, including cloud-based software, online capability assessments, and advanced analytics, focused on enabling Commercial Excellence for B2B companies. Bain's Commercial Excellence work helps B2B companies turn market opportunity into booked revenue, through sharper go-to-market strategy, better sales coverage and capacity, and industrialized execution. The analytics underneath that work are what make it credible, and they are what you will own. We are hiring an Expert Senior Manager, Data Science, to lead data science delivery and methodology across Coro's product suite. You will set the analytical approach on our most complex client engagements, lead the teams that deliver them, and make the calls on modeling design, validation, and where a bespoke analysis should become a productized capability. This is a senior, client-facing role: you will work directly with Bain partners and client executives, and you will be the person expected to defend the methodology in the room. These capabilities power Coro's product suite, such as MoneyMap®, which builds a granular, bottoms-up view of market opportunity, and the repeatable analytics workflows behind Bain's B2B go-to-market work, across challenges such as opportunity mapping, indirect channel growth, and profitability analysis. The work spans propensity and predictive scoring, TAM and market sizing, entity resolution and data matching across third-party sources, and GenAI-driven classification and enrichment at scale. The role also includes ownership of the analytics and delivery of our pricing products, including ProfitCube. You will also help build the capability itself, through recruiting, coaching, and raising the standard of how the team works, in keeping with Bain's apprenticeship model. You will have opportunities to work with major AI ecosystem partners through Bain's partnerships, collaborating on real client deployments and helping shape how emerging capabilities are applied in commercial settings.
