Data Scientist

Are you interested in working with Data Science from an end-to-end perspective with focus on sustainability, measurable impact, and faster time-to-market?

Data science has been a focal priority in multiple industries during the past decade and many enterprises have invested heavily in unlocking the potential of data by acquiring impressive teams of technology and talent. However, often the promises of data, analytics, and AI (Artificial Intelligence) are elusive to realize and even harder to scalably operationalize.

In this regard, The Data Science Chapter at Volvo Group Digital & IT (VG D&IT) sits in a unique position to materialize the potential of data and AI thanks to its composition of talent and experience as well as lock-step collaboration with other experts within its home department: the ‘Data’ function at VG D&IT. By working closely with data engineers, data architects and data analysts as well as software and platform engineers, the Data Science Chapter at VG D&IT can realize end-to-end deliveries and productionalization in truly cross-functional teams. In addition, the ‘Data’ function hosts other significant units consisting of Master Data Management, Data Governance, and, crucially, Delivery Management, all of which contribute to a standardized and structured framework for industrialized use of data and its products.
