As a Lead Data Scientist at Tiger Analytics, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive business value through advanced analytics. Key Responsibilities: Accelerate and improve the entire network design process, from raw data to a model ready for running in tools like Coupa or Llamasoft.
