Key responsibilities:

• Define, drive agreement on, and execute on a strategic data science vision

• Hire and develop diverse and impactful data science leaders and teams, providing technical oversight and standardized training

• Provide technical mentorship and support while letting your team make key decisions and learn from their mistakes
