Senior Data Scientist

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR 
At Momentum we believe in delivering solutions to our clients that are anchored in insights and analytics. Senior Data Scientists are a key component of the Analytics team.  From creating proprietary measurement tools, to structuring and analyzing data, implementing and interpreting models that feed business-improving insights, and putting it all together into presentations that bring the story to life for our clients; Senior Data Scientists work closely with the rest of the team to help execute the broader vision for their account, and to continually evolve our Data Science solutions. 
The ideal candidate should be intellectually curious and have an evidence-based approach to decision-making, have a definitive point of view and share it in a positive way, and get excited by a good challenge. We are looking for prior experience in marketing analytics, ideally in the digital creative and media space, but this isn’t necessarily a requirement. At least 2-3 years of prior professional experience is highly desired.
