IMPACT YOU’LL MAKE:

As a Sr. Data Scientist on BECU’s Retail Analytics team, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how we serve our members and grow our reach.

  • Drive Marketing Attribution Analysis: Connect campaign spend to membership outcomes using attribution modeling to guide strategic decisions.
  • Enhance Member Experience: Identify actionable drivers of satisfaction and set performance goals using custom segmentations and experience modeling.
  • Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with data engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders to align analytics with business priorities.
  • Present to Leadership: Share insights and recommendations with senior leadership, including EMT, within the first 30–60 days.
  • Support Data Pipeline Evolution: Contribute to the team’s transition to Snowflake by improving data pipeline efficiency and modeling capabilities.
  • Enable Strategic Planning: Provide statistical data to support goal-setting, capital planning, and stress testing.
  • Communicate Insights Clearly: Translate complex findings into actionable recommendations for technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Perform Ad-Hoc Analysis: Design and present custom analyses, profiles, and market research as needed.
  • Write Efficient Queries: Use business intelligence tools and cloud platforms to code queries that integrate multiple data sources.
