Build for the customer

Get to know each customers go-to-market and data, from CRM and marketing automation to firmographic and intent signals.
Retrain and tune account and contact models: ideal customer profile and industry definitions, keyword strategy, how CRM activity feeds the models, feature selection, and the balance of first- and third-party signals.
Prove impact with backtests against the live model and, where possible, the customers own scoring, using opportunity conversion by score bucket.
Calibrate score thresholds and scaling so customers get a steady, explainable flow of qualified accounts.
Build customer-ready deliverables: review decks, explainability views, score files and documentation customers can verify.
Capture what you learn as reusable patterns, and share recurring needs with Product, backed by field evidence.

Required: 6-8 years building and deploying machine learning models in production, ideally ranking, propensity, classification or scoring models on tabular or behavioral data.
Strong foundation in machine learning and applied statistics, including tree-based models such as XGBoost and Random Forest, model evaluation and calibration.
Fluent in Python and SQL, with experience on large, messy, real-world datasets, including matching customer CRM records to account data.
Experience working with or for customers on their data: consulting, client-site work, or a forward-deployed, solutions or customer-facing data role.
Comfortable switching between several ad hoc projects in a week rather than one long roadmap item.
A product mindset: you look for the solution that works for the next ten customers, not just this one.

In 6 months: at least one of your solutions is reusable across customers and on its way into the product.
