As a Data Scientist on the Talent Analytics team you will design, build, and operationalize analytic solutions that solve workforce and HR challenges and deliver measurable business impact. You will partner with HR leaders, HR Information Systems (HRIS)/Information Technology(IT), data engineering, and analytics to translate business questions into reproducible data products, end-to-end pipelines, and interpretable models (including ML and Large Language Model-based solutions). This is a hands-on role that combines advanced analytics, production-grade implementation, and stakeholder-facing communication in a large-organization HR context. Position Responsibilities: Lead end-to-end analytic projects Define problem statements with HR stakeholders, design experiments, select appropriate methods, develop models, validate results, and deliver production-ready solutions and monitoring Build predictive and prescriptive models for talent use cases (attrition/retention, internal mobility, promotion forecasting, performance indicators, recruitment sourcing/scoring, skilling/curation, compensation analytics) Develop and produce features and models in collaboration with data engineers and Machine Learning (ML) engineers Implement reproducible ETL, feature pipelines, model training pipelines, CI/CD, and deployment patterns Apply statistical methods, hypothesis testing, causal inference where appropriate, and robust validation (cross-validation, holdouts, calibration, fairness testing) to ensure reliable, defensible results Design and operationalize NLP/LLM solutions for HR use cases (resume parsing, candidate experience, employee feedback analysis) while enforcing privacy, data minimization and explainability requirements Instrument model monitoring and drift detection; define alerting, retraining triggers, and remediation plans Produce clear, actionable visualizations and dashboards that tell the story of analytic findings and drive decisions; collaborate with BI developers to operationalize reporting Translate technical analyses into business recommendations, quantify expected impact, and work with partners to implement changes and measure outcomes Mentor junior data scientists/analysts, review code and model artifacts, and help raise team standards for reproducibility, documentation, and governance Ensure models and data products adhere to governance, privacy, and ethical requirements; collaborate with HR Data Steward, Legal/Privacy, and Ethics/AI governance on reviews and approvals This position is expected to be 100% onsite.
