Data Scientist

Posizione

Drive the design, development, validation and industrialization of Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence solutions that transform business opportunities into scalable, governed and value-generating Data & AI products. Within the central Data & AI Product Unit, the Data Scientist partners with business stakeholders, Data Architects, Data Engineers, Data Domain Owners, Business Product Owners and Data Governance teams to identify high-value AI/ML use cases, build robust analytical solutions, and integrate them into enterprise processes and platforms. The role contributes to the Data & AI transformation agenda by combining statistical rigour, technical excellence, business understanding, Responsible AI principles and production-oriented delivery across traditional AI/ML, Generative AI and Agentic AI initiatives.

Responsabilità del lavoro

• Design, develop and validate advanced Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and predictive analytics models to address concrete business challenges and generate measurable business value.
• Build models for forecasting, recommendation, propensity/scoring, optimization, classification, clustering, anomaly detection, simulation and decision support.
• Analyse large, complex and heterogeneous datasets to identify patterns, drivers, risks, opportunities and actionable insights supporting strategic and operational decision-making.
• Apply statistical, econometric, machine learning and experimentation techniques, including model validation, performance evaluation and explainability approaches.
• Partner with business stakeholders and Data Factory actors to translate business needs into clear AI/ML problem statements, analytical approaches, success metrics and delivery priorities.
• Contribute to the qualification and prioritization of AI use cases by assessing feasibility, expected value, data readiness, scalability, risks and adoption requirements.
• Collaborate with business data teams and domain experts to ensure that model assumptions, input data, KPIs and outputs are meaningful, understandable and operationally usable.
• Design and improve scalable data science pipelines covering data preparation, feature engineering, experiment tracking, model training, validation, deployment and monitoring.
• Work with Data Engineering, Software Engineering, Enterprise Architecture and platform teams to integrate AI/ML solutions into production environments and enterprise applications.
• Ensure model lifecycle management practices, including versioning, reproducibility, CI/CD alignment, monitoring, drift detection, retraining triggers and controlled release management where applicable.
• Support the transition from proof of concept to production-grade AI products, avoiding isolated prototypes and contributing to reusable capabilities where appropriate.
• Contribute to the assessment, design and implementation of Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions, in collaboration with architecture, security, governance and business stakeholders.
• Evaluate the appropriate use of foundation models, RAG patterns, agents, orchestration frameworks, internal knowledge bases and business rules depending on the use case.
• Ensure AI solutions comply with internal governance, documentation, validation, security, privacy, data governance and Responsible AI standards throughout the lifecycle.
• Contribute to Responsible AI assessments, model documentation, auditability, transparency, explainability, human oversight and risk mitigation.
• Produce clear presentations, reports, dashboards and visual explanations to communicate technical findings, recommendations and business implications to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Support adoption by explaining how AI/ML outputs should be interpreted and embedded in business processes.
