Please review the following job description:

The Data Scientist III designs and delivers analytics-driven digital products that enable executive and business-unit leadership to make informed, data-driven decisions. This role goes beyond traditional analysis by owning the end-to-end creation of scalable dashboards, tools, and analytical solutions that surface key metrics, trends, and predictive insights for senior leaders.

As a self-starter, this individual will help shape the role and analytics roadmap, working closely with mid-level and executive leadership to gather requirements, translate business questions into analytical frameworks, and design intuitive, high-impact dashboards and reporting experiences. These digital products will allow leaders to securely sign in and monitor the performance, risks, and opportunities within their business units in near real time.

The Data Scientist III performs advanced analytics using human capital data sourced from the cloud. The role partners closely with HR and data engineering teams as the Snowflake environment continues to mature, ensuring data quality, usability, and analytical readiness.

In addition to hands-on development, this role acts as a trusted analytics advisor, consulting with stakeholders on how to interpret insights, embed analytics into decision-making, and build strategies around data. The Data Scientist III leads smaller, well-scoped projects independently, plays key roles on larger, more complex initiatives, and serves as a resource and mentor to less-experienced analysts and data scientists.
