DataScienceAdvisor-HIH-Evernorth

The Senior Advisor – Data Science is a senior individual‑contributor role within the Data Science Center of Excellence at Evernorth Health Services India. This role is designed for a high‑caliber, hands‑on data scientist with strong foundations in statistics, classical machine learning, and modern AI techniques, combined with experience working across an advanced data science and ML stack. The role focuses on building, validating, and operationalizing data science solutions that solve complex business problems. It is not a governance or oversight role, but rather a role for an experienced practitioner who brings strong analytical judgment, technical depth, and the ability to influence solution design and execution across teams. This position partners closely with US‑based analytics, data science, engineering, and business leaders to deliver high‑impact analytical and ML solutions at scale. **Key Responsibilities** * Operate as a senior individual contributor, owning complex data science initiatives end‑to‑end—from problem framing and exploratory analysis through model development, validation, and production support. * Apply strong foundations in statistics and classical machine learning (e.g., regression, classification, tree‑based models, ensembles, time‑series) to solve real‑world business problems. * Design, develop, and evaluate predictive and analytical models using rigorous statistical and ML techniques. * Perform feature engineering, model selection, tuning, and performance evaluation, clearly articulating assumptions and tradeoffs. * Build and apply advanced machine learning and deep learning models where appropriate, using modern frameworks such as PyTorch and/or TensorFlow. * Write clean, efficient, and production‑quality code, following strong software engineering and data science best practices. * Partner closely with data engineering and platform teams to ensure models are scalable, reliable, and production‑ready. * Translate ambiguous business problems
