About the Job Do you get excited when a messy, ambiguous business problem finally yields to the right model? Do you think in systems, speak fluently across the technical-business divide, and want your work to do more than sit in a notebook — you want it to actually ship, scale, and matter? With over 2,000 employees, 36 offices on five continents, and world-class clients like Samsung, L'Oréal, and Mattel, Artefact is a consulting firm that transforms data into measurable value and business impact.

We've launched in the US with offices in NYC and Los Angeles — and we're looking for a Senior Data Scientist to help define what world-class data science looks like on our founding team.

Who We Are

Founded and headquartered in Paris, Artefact is a next-generation consulting firm specializing in data, analytics, and AI consulting — dedicated to transforming data into business impact across the entire value chain of organizations. We don't just advise; we build, implement, and deliver results our clients can measure. We have 2,000 employees across 36 offices focused on accelerating digital transformation for some of the world's most recognizable brands.

Our state-of-the-art data technologies, lean AI agile methodologies, and cohesive teams of elite business consultants, data analysts, data scientists, data engineers, and digital experts are all laser-focused on delivering real value to every client. We design data-driven solutions tailored to each client's specific needs — always conceived with a business-first mindset and delivered with tangible, measurable results. Our expertise is built on deep AI knowledge acquired through 1,000+ client engagements across the globe.

com. What You Will Be Doing As a Senior Data Scientist, you'll be the technical engine behind some of our most complex and consequential client engagements. You'll move fluidly between data exploration, model development, and executive communication — bringing scientific rigor to business problems and translating results into strategies that clients actually implement.

This isn't a role where you hand off findings and walk away. You'll be embedded with clients, co-owning outcomes, and ensuring that the models you build don't just perform in a test environment — they create real, lasting impact in production. You'll also be a technical anchor for our US team, setting standards, mentoring junior data scientists, and contributing to the methodologies that define Artefact's edge.

Key Responsibilities

include: Designing and building end-to-end machine learning and statistical models that solve high-stakes business problems — from framing the question to deploying the solution Conducting rigorous exploratory data analysis to uncover patterns, anomalies, and opportunities that inform both technical and strategic decisions Translating complex model outputs and analytical findings into clear, compelling narratives for senior client stakeholders — making the technical accessible without dumbing it down Partnering with client teams and data engineers to ensure models are production-ready, scalable, and built on clean, reliable data pipelines Defining the analytical approach for client engagements — selecting the right methods, tools, and frameworks for the problem at hand, not just the ones you're most comfortable with Contributing to new business proposals — helping articulate Artefact's technical capabilities and translating data science into clear client value Developing thought leadership and internal methodologies — publishing research, building reusable frameworks, and raising the technical bar across the practice Mentoring junior data scientists and analysts, actively investing in the team's technical depth and growth

What We Are Looking For

We want someone who is as comfortable whiteboarding a modeling strategy with a client's Chief Analytics Officer as they are debugging a pipeline at 11pm before a big delivery.
