As a Predictive Modeler
You will be responsible for designing, developing, and implementing statistical models and machine learning algorithms to analyze large datasets and predict future outcomes. You collaborate with stakeholders to understand business objectives and data requirements, gather, clean, and preprocess data for analysis, and select appropriate modeling techniques.
Employers expect you to build and validate predictive models, conduct feature engineering, and optimize model performance. Additionally, you interpret and communicate results to non-technical audiences, recommend data-driven solutions, and continuously refine and update models based on new data.
