As WFM Data Science Lead, You Will…
- Own the end-to-end forecasting data lifecycle (ingestion → validation → transformation → modeling).
- Define standards for raw data structuring, metric definitions, and forecasting readiness.
- Develop and enhance time series and machine learning models, incorporating seasonality, campaigns, and external drivers.
- Partner with the Data Team to optimize datasets in Google BigQuery and build scalable workflows in Python.
- Integrate datasets into dashboards (e.g., Looker Studio) for operational visibility.
- Establish frameworks for data quality checks, anomaly detection, and reconciliation.
- Resolve inconsistencies such as double-counted volumes, IVR/SMS overlaps, and abandoned vs. offered logic.
- Build automated pipelines to flag data gaps, spikes, and irregular patterns.
- Drive adoption of standardized datasets as the single source of truth across teams.
- Translate raw data into actionable forecasting insights.
- Identify key drivers of volume fluctuations (day-of-week patterns, campaigns, operational changes).
- Support Forecasting teams with scenario modeling and data-backed assumptions.
- Improve forecast accuracy, reduce bias, and increase explainability of models.
- Work closely with Forecasting, Operations, Finance, and IT to ensure data consistency and usability.
- Align on volume definitions, KPIs, and reporting standards across functions.
- Partner with stakeholders to elevate service levels, efficiency, and decision-making.
- Automate repetitive data preparation, validation, and reporting processes.
- Reduce manual workload within the Forecasting team.
- Improve turnaround time for forecasting cycles and ad hoc analyses.
