About the role

We file this job under Data Scientist, by the work the posting describes.

Data scientists use statistics and models to answer harder questions, such as whether a change worked, what demand will look like next quarter, or which customers are likely to leave.

Postings usually ask for Python or R, SQL, statistics, experiment design and common machine learning methods.

Unlike an ML engineer, a data scientist's main output is often an analysis or a first model, not software running inside a product.

Join a Challenger

At EQ, we're remaking banking so every Canadian gets ahead, every day. Serving nearly 4 million Canadians from coast to coast, we offer a wide variety of financial services from banking and lending, to trust and credit union solutions.

We've been at this since 1970, challenging the conventions of traditional banking with smarter, faster, and more connected financial experiences.

What's kept us moving? The people behind it all: challengers who ask better questions, push back on old assumptions, and look for a better way forward.

If you're driven to help reshape how banking works for Canadians and the businesses that power our economy, this could be your next big opportunity.

We can’t wait to get to know you!

The Work

The Data Scientist, Growth leads the design, development, deployment, and operationalization of advanced analytics and machine learning solutions that support growth, customer experience, and commercial decision-making.

The role works across the full analytical lifecycle, from problem framing and exploratory analysis through model development, validation, deployment, monitoring, and production implementation. It also contributes to the modernization, migration, and scaling of machine learning assets and data workflows across cloud platforms and enterprise analytical environments.

Lead machine learning model development for growth initiatives, including pricing, customer engagement, recommendation systems, propensity modelling, net promoter score, and related decisioning use cases.

• Design and maintain scalable data pipelines, feature engineering frameworks, and workflows for model training, scoring, monitoring, backtesting, and reporting.

• Develop and evaluate experimentation frameworks, including A/B testing, holdout analysis, uplift measurement, causal inference, and incrementality measurement.

• Perform feature engineering, model selection, validation, calibration, and performance monitoring.

• Partner with product, engineering, analytics, marketing, and business teams to define success measures, prioritize opportunities, and operationalize model outputs.

• Lead or contribute to migration and modernization of models, analytical assets, pipelines, and workflows, including the transition from Microsoft Fabric and Azure to Google Cloud Platform.

• Assess model dependencies and recommend whether assets should be migrated, refactored, rebuilt, consolidated, or retired.

• Design production-ready machine learning solutions, including deployment pipelines, automated retraining, monitoring, and performance tracking.

• Apply software engineering, data engineering, and machine learning operations practices, including modular design, version control, testing, automation, reproducibility, documentation, and code quality.

• Validate migrated or rebuilt solutions by reconciling data, features, model results, and business outputs.

• Communicate model and experiment findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Create reusable analytical frameworks, shared code libraries, notebooks, and production-ready assets.

• Mentor team members and support knowledge transfer and analytical excellence.
