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.

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:
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. You've shipped models that people actually use. You've sat in rooms where the business stakes were real, and you've delivered. You know the difference between a technically elegant solution and a practically useful one — and you always choose useful.
You'll arrive ready with the following:
Why You Should Join Us
At this level, you're not just looking for a job — you're looking for the right environment to do your best work. Here's what makes Artefact different:
Variety that keeps you sharp. In a product role, you go deep on one problem. Here, you'll work across industries, business functions, and problem types — building the kind of range that makes exceptional data scientists exceptional. No two engagements are the same.
Your work actually ships. We have a relentless focus on adoption and impact. The models you build are designed from day one to live in production, influence decisions, and create measurable value — not to gather dust in a final report.
A global technical community. With 2,000 data and AI specialists across 36 offices, you'll have access to some of the most sophisticated data science thinking in the world. You'll contribute to — and benefit from — a community of practitioners working on the frontier.
Founding team energy. We're building our US practice, which means the norms, standards, and culture you help create now will define Artefact in North America for years to come. That's a rare opportunity at any stage of a career.
We are united by our values and strengthened by our hybrid expertise:
our clients grow their data and digital capabilities, and that we’re also growing in parallel.
We have 2,000 employees across 26 offices who are focused on accelerating digital transformation. Our state-of-the-art data technologies, lean AI agile methodologies, and cohesive teams of the finest business consultants, data analysts, data scientists, data engineers, and digital experts are all dedicated to bringing extra value to every client. We design data-based solutions to meet our clients' specific needs, always conceived with a business-centric approach and delivered with tangible results. Our data-driven services are built upon the deep AI expertise we've acquired with our 1000+ client base around the globe.

What You'll Be Doing
As a Junior Data Consultant, you'll sit at the intersection of business strategy and data — helping clients make smarter decisions, faster. You'll work directly with clients to understand their challenges, dig into their data, uncover insights that change how they operate, and communicate those findings in ways that drive action.
This is not a back-office analytics role. You'll be client-facing, intellectually challenged, and given real responsibility from day one. Our best junior consultants don't stay junior for long.
Day-to-day responsibilities include:
What we are looking for
We want builders, thinkers, and fast learners — people who are energized by ambiguity, motivated by impact, and who can hold their own in a room with a senior client. You're the kind of person who asks "why?" before jumping to "how," and you never stop at "good enough."
Why Join Artefact?
We're not just a workplace — we're a community of people who believe that data, applied well, can change how businesses operate and how the world works. We move fast, we challenge each other, and we celebrate people who make things happen.
Our values aren't decorations on a wall — they're how we actually work:
