• Utilize advanced tools and frameworks for data analysis, modeling, and visualization.
• Promote and participate in a culture of continuous learning within the team by providing feedback, sharing knowledge, and mentoring more junior team members.

About you:
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 1-3 years of full-time post-graduation experience in the music, entertainment, sports, or financial services industry. Candidates with a PhD can be considered for this level.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong problem-solving abilities, with a bias towards action and a proactive approach to identifying opportunities and challenges.

We'd love it if you also had:
