Job Description
Senior Director, Data Science
Duncan Solutions
• Define and lead the enterprise AI and data science strategy — aligned to Duncan's Enterprise Goals, corporate growth objectives, and the imperative to deliver client value through our products and services • Advise the CTO and executive leadership team on opportunities to leverage artificial intelligence, machine learning, and predictive analytics to drive competitive advantage, margin improvement, and operational scale • Translate strategic business priorities into high-impact data science programs with clearly defined financial and operational outcomes — not exploration for its own sake, but applied innovation with measurable returns • Evaluate emerging technologies and industry trends to inform long-term digital strategy and investment decisions, bringing forward evidence-based recommendations rather than reactive responses to market noise • Oversee the design, deployment, and scaling of advanced analytics solutions within AWS-native environments — supporting revenue optimization, compliance oversight, customer experience enhancement, and operational efficiency • Champion automation and intelligent workflow transformation, including natural language processing, anomaly detection, and AI-driven operational optimization across Duncan's core service lines • Ensure analytics solutions are production-ready, scalable, and maintained with the operational rigor expected of enterprise systems — not prototype-quality deliverables deployed into live environments • Establish and maintain governance frameworks for model development, validation, monitoring, explainability, and ethical AI use — ensuring regulatory alignment and enterprise risk management at every stage of the analytics lifecycle • Ensure responsible AI practices are embedded in team culture and delivery methodology — not treated as compliance overhead, but as a professional standard that protects both Duncan and the clients it serves • Identify and surface emerging data science risks — model drift, data quality degradation, bias exposure, or governance gaps — before they become material issues for the enterprise or its clients • Partner with Legal, Compliance, and the CTO on AI-related regulatory developments, ensuring Duncan's practices remain defensible, auditable, and ahead of evolving requirements • Build and maintain executive-level dashboards and reporting frameworks that convert data science outputs into decision-enabling intelligence — giving the CTO, CEO, and enterprise leadership a clear, timely view of operational performance and AI-driven opportunity • Ensure data science insights are communicated in plain, accessible language that enables non-technical leaders to act with confidence — translating model outputs into business narratives, not statistical summaries • Support board-level reporting on AI strategy, innovation initiatives, and enterprise performance impact as directed by the CTO • Recruit, develop, and retain high-performing data science and analytics professionals — building a team culture defined by accountability, intellectual rigor, and continuous improvement • Establish clear performance expectations, development pathways, and capability-building investments aligned to Duncan's Job Group Family Architecture and the career development framework being built enterprise-wide • Ensure the data science team operates as a trusted enterprise partner — responsive to business needs, disciplined in delivery, and consistent in the quality of its work • Model the leadership behaviors Duncan expects at the senior leader level: operating with independence, developing the people around you, and connecting your team's daily work to the organization's long-term direction
