The Opportunity:

As a data scientist, you’re excited at the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by a data set, and you’re fascinated by the possibilities presented by IoT, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. In an increasingly connected world, massive amounts of structured and unstructured data open new opportunities. As a Data Scientist at Booz Allen, you can turn these complex data sets into useful information to solve global challenges. Across private and public sectors, from fraud detection to cancer research, to national intelligence, we need a seasoned data scientist like you to help find the answers in the data. 

On our team, you’ll use your leadership skills and data science expertise to create real-world impact. You’ll work closely with clients to understand their questions and needs, and then dig into their data-rich environments to find the pieces of their information puzzle. You’ll guide and mentor your team as you oversee the development of algorithms and systems. You’ll use the right combination of tools and frameworks to turn sets of disparate data points into objective answers to advise your clients as they make informed decisions. As a technical leader, you’ll identify new opportunities to use data science solutions to help your clients meet their toughest challenges. Ultimately, you’ll provide a deep understanding of the data, what it all means, and how it can be used. 

You’ll act as a data integrator for various functions across a multi-department team with a focus on integrating competitive intelligence from multiple government data feeds and systems with other data feeds from internal analysis tools. You’ll help teams rapidly develop understanding of the competitive positioning of individual companies and conduct analysis to summarize and measure the federal government’s opportunity pipeline in various categories over time. Your other efforts may involve integration of various local data feeds into integrated delivery products. Due to the nature of work performed within this facility, U.S. citizenship is required.
