Data Scientist

Is this role right for you?

In this role you, will:

The Data Scientist will be a core member of the CID&A team, partnering closely with business lines and stakeholders to identify opportunities where analytics can identify trends within unstructured data, delivering root cause, emerging topics and potential remediation opportunities. You will work with a diverse team of data scientists, data engineers, product partners, and business stakeholders to frame problems, analyze data across multiple touchpoints, and turn findings into scalable recommendations and solutions. You will help uncover drivers of client behaviour, pain points, and moments that matter across the journey, while ensuring the Bank’s risk appetite and risk culture are considered in decision making.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Delivery and Development:

• Develop, test, and implement analytical approaches that uncover meaningful patterns in client behaviour, experience, and journey performance across multiple channels and touchpoints.
• Write and maintain high-quality Python and SQL code to source, prepare, and analyze large volumes of structured and unstructured data, building robust analytical datasets and pipelines.
• Employ modern NLP techniques—including LLMs, prompt engineering, text classification, topic modelling, sentiment analysis, and information extraction.
• Design and apply statistical, machine learning, and exploratory analytical techniques to identify drivers of client satisfaction, friction points in the client journey, and opportunities to improve engagement, retention, and overall experience.
• Create compelling data visualizations, dashboards, and reports that clearly communicate insights, trends, and opportunities related to client experience and client journey performance to business and executive stakeholders.
• Stay up to date on advances in AI, machine learning, experimentation, visualization, and data science best practices. Support research and development focused on applying design thinking and advanced analytical techniques to better understand and improve the client journey.

Collaboration and Strategy:

• Support high-impact analytical use cases across a wide variety of business lines, delivering insights that help improve client experience, remove journey friction, and create value for both customers and the organization.
• Collaborate with key stakeholders and partners to translate business questions and customer experience challenges into scalable analytical approaches, leveraging available data assets and reusable components.
• Understand how the Bank’s risk appetite and risk culture should be considered in decision making related to model development and deployment.
• Collaborate seamlessly with data scientists, data engineers, software engineers, product owners, and business partners to deliver scalable analytics, insight frameworks, and measurement approaches across the bank.
