Our core values, Do the Right Thing, Customer Success, Employee Success, and Speed, guide us as we make our customers more efficient and effective in everything they do.

As a Data Scientist for the Business Consulting team, you will work with Veeva engineers, consultants, and fellow data scientists to support analysis and analytical data deliverables.

Your role will be to generate and own the mathematical and behavioural models that will help drive the generation of impactful insights and suggestions for our clients. Our ideal candidate is multi-talented, with the capabilities to develop statistical, machine learning, and optimization models but they are also able to be client-facing, to understand the business needs of our clients (both within and outside of Veeva), and present complex statistical and machine learning models to the stakeholders.

This is a great opportunity for someone who is excited about using their deep Data Science expertise to help shape the Machine Learning offerings of Veeva business.

This is a remote position.

What You'll Do

• Develop advanced algorithms that solve problems of large dimensionality in a computationally efficient and statistically effective manner
• Design, develop and assess highly innovative models for clustering, anomaly detection, and more
• Build and run an analysis of models and algorithms in order to assess performance and identify the best algorithms to present to customers
• Ensure models and algorithms support our customers and help them drive towards more intelligent and effective engagement with their customers
• Execute statistical and data mining techniques (e.g. hypothesis testing, machine learning, and retrieval processes) on large data sets to identify trends and figures
• Work closely with the data warehouse product team to ensure the architecture is effectively developed to support algorithms that are reproducible for many clients while being able to tailor said models for individual clients

Requirements

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Machine Learning, Applied Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or other quantitative disciplines. Ph.D. with at least 2 years of relevant industry experience, M.S. with 3 years of relevant industry experience.

• Expertise in using R or Python to manipulate large data sets and develop statistical models, with the ability to accurately determine cause and effect relationships
• Good SQL skills
• Intellectual curiosity, along with excellent problem-solving and quantitative skills, including the ability to disaggregate issues, identify root causes, and recommend solutions, even in situations with non-standard problems
• Excellent oral and written communication skills with the ability to effectively explain complex problems and advocate technical solutions to other team members and clients

Nice to Have

• Experience with commercial aspects of the Life Sciences industry
• Experience working with Software as a Service and/or enterprise products
• Experience with AWS
