Role Description In this role, you will own the intelligence layer that powers how Risepoint engages with students at every stage of their journey. You will lead end-to-end initiatives—from scoping and design through cross-functional implementation and measurable outcomes—that directly shape retention, engagement, and enrollment results for thousands of students across more than 100 university partners. You will be accountable for delivering the “Next Best Experience” platform: the predictive engine that turns raw behavioral signals into personalized, timely outreach. Your decisions will determine who gets reached, when, and how—translating data science into student outcomes that help working adults succeed in programs that change their lives. You will bring our mission to life by leading initiatives that make the student journey smarter and more human at the same time. Qualifications - A proven track record of delivering measurable consumer and business impact through AI/ML initiatives. - Experience as a workstream leader in a cross-functional environment. - 5–8+ years in applied machine learning or data science, ideally in education, consumer tech, personalization, or a complex behavioral domain. - Strong background in predictive analytics, recommendation systems, and experimentation (A/B testing, causal inference, uplift modeling). - Deep expertise in Python and SQL; proficiency with ML libraries (scikit-learn, XGBoost, TensorFlow, or PyTorch). - Experience with Databricks, MLFlow, dbt, and Dagster—or demonstrated ability to ramp quickly on a modern MLOps stack. - Comfort working with complex, multi-source datasets (CRM, LMS, communication logs, speech analytics). - Excellent communicator across technical and non-technical audiences, including executives. - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a technical discipline (computer science, statistics, econometrics, mathematics, or engineering). Requirements - Lead AI/ML initiatives end-to-end—scoping, designing, managing implementation, and driving outcomes. - Own accountability for delivering measurable business outcomes from each initiative: retention lift, engagement improvement, enrollment conversion, and pipeline efficiency. - Drive alignment and decision-making across teams at each stage of an initiative’s lifecycle. - Identify and scope net-new AI/ML opportunities that deliver impact for students, university partners, and Risepoint’s business. - Manage relationships with key vendors and software providers as a workstream leader. - Build and deploy predictive models—including churn risk, engagement propensity, and success likelihood. - Lead the design and implementation of “next best action” logic in close partnership with Product and CX. - Prototype, test, and productionize models using MLOps frameworks. - Partner with data engineers to ensure clean, reliable pipelines and feature stores. - Design and lead A/B testing programs to measure model-driven impact on retention, engagement, and satisfaction. - Establish feedback loops and real-world performance monitoring frameworks. - Mentor teammates and raise the team’s technical bar through code reviews, pair work, and knowledge-sharing. Benefits - Equal opportunity employer supporting a diverse and inclusive workforce.
