In the Statistician role, you’ll work with senior data scientists on multi-million dollar customer engagements.

  • Work with senior data scientists and offshore associates to ensure model quality in terms of modeling methodologies, data / model validation metrics, actionable insights, and analytical/technical best practices.
  • In our Neustar proprietary analytics platform implement multi-touch attribution models (MTA) and marketing mix models (MMM) that are based on statistics, econometrics, and/or machine learning techniques such as logistic regression, choice model, time-series model, panel data model, Bayesian statistics, ridge regression, structural equations, probability theory, clustering algorithms, etc.
  • Analyze big data sets to generate deep insights on paid media, organic media, market conditions, web navigations, and individuals’ propensities on multi-step conversion activities in the consumer journeys.
  • Validate model results and package them into insightful client-friendly reports on ROI analysis, forecasting, simulation and optimization.
  • Ensure rigorous quality control and detect anomalies in the model with ongoing new data stream.
• Interdisciplinary work: you’ll interact with multiple teams across the firm to implement our end-to-end solutions and improve processes: Data Operations, Solution Architects, Consulting Services, Product and Engineering.

What we would love to see:

• Familiarity or interest in data analytics and/or statistical concepts such as marketing mix modeling, multi-touch attribution modeling, multivariate regression, time-series modeling, Bayesian statistics, segmentation modeling, machine learning, data mining, simulation, optimization, forecasting, and ROI analysis
