Under some supervision, the Lead Quantitative Analytics Associate is primarily responsible for using statistics, advanced mathematical techniques, and/or computer science to develop and validate predictive and machine-learning models for specific business needs. The Lead Quantitative Analytics Associate leverages advanced mathematical knowledge and analysis to provide solutions to predictive and prescriptive questions such as “What will happen next?” and “What will we do?”. Often large in scope, projects undertaken by the Lead Quantitative Analytics Associate involve self-directed data analysis and model building in response to a problem statement proposed by a business partner. Success factors include: timely and effective completion of tasks assigned by manager with manager and/or peer guidance; exercising functional knowledge in analytical programming languages, data literacy, and model development; effective communication of insights and data to peers; and developing work autonomy and problem-solving.
