If you love turning complex data into simple, high‑impact solutions, this is the role for you.
Key Responsibilities
- Data Analysis & Pattern Recognition: Dive deep into chat transcripts, click‑stream data, and support tickets to uncover recurring themes, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement.
- Predictive Modeling: Build and deploy machine‑learning models that forecast response times, predict agent workload, and recommend optimal routing of conversations.
- Chatbot Enhancement: Apply natural language processing (NLP) techniques to refine chatbot intent recognition, improve response relevance, and reduce escalation rates.
- Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner with product managers, UX designers, and engineering teams to translate data insights into product features and process changes.
- Metric Monitoring & Reporting: Design dashboards, track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as average handling time, first‑contact resolution, and customer satisfaction scores, and present findings to leadership.
- Data Governance: Ensure data quality, integrity, and compliance with privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) across all support datasets.
- Continuous Improvement: Conduct A/B tests, analyze results, and iterate on models and workflows to achieve measurable gains in efficiency and user experience.
Essential Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related quantitative field.
- 3+ years of professional experience in data analysis, machine learning, or AI‑driven customer support solutions.
- Proficiency in SQL, Python, and/or R for data manipulation, feature engineering, and model development.
- Strong analytical mindset with the ability to work with large, complex datasets and derive actionable insights.
- Excellent communication skills, capable of translating technical findings into clear, business‑oriented recommendations.
- Experience with NLP libraries (e.g., spaCy, NLTK, Hugging Face) and chatbot platforms is highly desirable.
Preferred Qualifications
- Hands‑on experience building recommendation engines or predictive models in a production environment.
- Familiarity with cloud data platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, and data warehousing solutions like Snowflake or BigQuery.
- Knowledge of real‑time analytics tools (Kafka, Flink, or similar) for streaming data processing.
- Experience with A/B testing frameworks and statistical hypothesis testing.
- Background in customer experience (CX) research or support operations.
Core Skills & Competencies
- Technical Proficiency: Advanced SQL, Python (pandas, scikit‑learn, TensorFlow/PyTorch), R, and data visualization libraries.
- Statistical Rigor: Strong grasp of probability, hypothesis testing, and model evaluation metrics.
- Problem‑Solving: Ability to dissect complex business problems, propose data‑driven solutions, and iterate quickly.
- Collaboration: Comfortable working in cross‑functional teams, bridging the gap between data science and product/engineering.
