Data Scientist

Data Scientist needed for a Full Time PERM position onsite in Virginia.

Mandatory Skills:

• Demonstrated experience using analytic methods and methodological tools
• Demonstrated experience identifying and leveraging algorithmic models and manipulating structured and unstructured data to answer intelligence questions
• Demonstrated experience translating complex, technical findings into an easily understood narrative (i.e., tell a story with the data) in graphical, verbal, and/or written forms
