The role
As the Senior Data Scientist leading Climate Risk and Community Resilience, you will be driving the evolution of UrbanFootprint’s risk-based data products including Grid Resilience Insights and Municipal Bonds Insights. These products are designed to help asset managers and financial institutions make investment decisions by taking into account climate and environmental hazard risk, community impacts and vulnerability, and physical infrastructure and the built environment. These data products leverage our parcel-level map of all properties across the US to facilitate decision-making for scales ranging from parcels and neighborhoods to states and the entire US.
As a product-minded and pragmatic data science leader, you know how to appropriately scope projects to ensure we are delivering what customers need today, and have ideas for how we can improve in the future. You are autonomous, not independent; you work collaboratively with business partners to understand the ‘what’ and ‘why’ and take full ownership of figuring out ‘how’ to meet those needs. You proactively communicate progress and are accountable for the validity and accuracy of all models produced for your data products. You are a hands-on leader, able to build models and provide technical support and mentorship to junior data scientists.
