This isn't a reporting role or a dashboard factory-you'll own the full analytics lifecycle from hypothesis formulation through insight delivery, while leading and developing a team of data scientists and analysts. You'll work on problems that matter: experimental designs that validate multi million dollar strategies, predictive models that surface hidden patterns in complex data, and deep learning pipelines that extract signal from unstructured text, images, and time series. Our clients are Fortune 500 companies looking for partners who can find the signal in the noise and tell the story that drives action. The variety is real. In your first year, you might lead a customer segmentation and lifetime value analysis for a financial services firm, design and analyze a pricing experiment for a global manufacturer, and build an agentic anomaly detection system for a utility company's operational data-all while developing the next generation of data science talent at Huron.

Design and execute end to end data science workflows-from problem framing and hypothesis development through exploratory analysis, modeling, validation, and insight delivery. Own the analytical approach and ensure conclusions are defensible. Lead development of both traditional statistical and modern AI powered analyses-including regression, classification, clustering, causal inference, A/B testing, and modern deep learning approaches using embeddings, transformer architectures, and foundation models for text, time series, and multimodal analysis. Build predictive and prescriptive models that drive business decisions-customer segmentation, churn prediction, demand forecasting, pricing optimization, risk scoring, and operational efficiency analysis for commercial enterprises. Translate complex analytical findings into actionable insights-create compelling data narratives, develop executive ready presentations, and communicate technical results to non technical stakeholders in ways that drive decisions. Serve as a trusted advisor to clients-build long standing partnerships, deeply understand business problems, formulate the right analytical questions, and deliver insights that create measurable value. Contribute to practice development-participate in business development activities, develop reusable analytical frameworks and methodologies, and help shape the technical direction of Huron's DSML capabilities. Required Qualifications 5+ years of hands on experience conducting data science and advanced analytics-not just ad hoc analysis, but structured analytical projects that drove business decisions. You've framed problems, developed hypotheses, analyzed data, and delivered insights that created measurable impact. Experience leading and developing technical teams-including coaching, mentorship, methodology review, and performance management. Demonstrated ability to build high performing teams and develop junior talent. Strong Python and SQL programming skills with deep experience in the data science ecosystem (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit learn, statsmodels, visualization libraries). Comfortable writing production quality code, not just notebooks.

Experience with deep learning and modern neural architectures-understanding of transformer models, embeddings, transfer learning, and how to leverage foundation models for analytical tasks. You know when ML approaches add value over classical methods, and how to integrate them into rigorous analytical workflows. Proficiency with data platforms: Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, Databricks, or similar cloud analytics environments. You're comfortable working with large datasets and can optimize queries for performance. Exceptional communication and data storytelling skills-ability to distill complex analyses into clear narratives, create compelling visualizations, lead client meetings, and build trusted relationships with executive audiences. This is non negotiable. Bachelor's degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Computer Science, or related quantitative field (or equivalent practical experience). Flexibility to work in a hybrid model with periodic travel to client sites as needed. Preferred Qualifications Experience in Financial Services, Manufacturing, or Energy & Utilities industries. Background in experimental design, A/B testing, and causal inference methodologies-including propensity score matching, difference in differences, or instrumental variables. Hands on experience with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow) and neural architectures-including transformers, attention mechanisms, and fine tuning pretrained models for NLP, time series, or tabular data applications. Experience building AI assisted analytical workflows-leveraging foundation model APIs, vector databases, and retrieval systems to accelerate insight extraction from unstructured data. Experience with Bayesian methods, probabilistic programming (PyMC, NumPyro, etc.), or uncertainty quantification in business contexts. Strong visualization and data interface design and development skills using programmatic visualization libraries (Plotly, Altair, D3). Proficiency with AI assistant rapid data application development using Cursor, Lovable, v0, etc. Experience with time series analysis, forecasting methods (ARIMA, Prophet, neural forecasting), and demand planning applications. Cloud certifications (Azure Data Scientist, Databricks ML Associate, AWS ML Specialty). Consulting experience or demonstrated ability to work across multiple domains and adapt quickly to new problem spaces.
