Data Scientist (Machine Learning/AI) - remote

1848 Ventures opportunities can be 100% remote or onsite in our office in Westfield Center, OH. Relocation assistance is available.

The Opportunity

The Venture Data Scientist leads efforts to identify, gather, and analyze data sets, surveys, and patterns to refine and validate innovation opportunities, as well as generate and test data-centric solution concepts. (It’s a mouthful, but trust us, it’s fun.)

In addition, as a core member of the Venture Development team, the Data Scientist will develop machine-learning prototypes, design automated processes to cleanse large data sets, and generate meaningful insights in support of the creation, validation, and launch of these solutions.

Curious? Here are the details you need to know.

What It Takes:

• This is a multi-faceted role, one that requires significant thought-leadership and execution support from ideation through product development and launch. You’ll wear several hats:
