Data Scientist

Inclusology

We are looking to hire our first Data Scientist to join our team. The position is contract-to-hire

You might be our ideal candidate if you have first-hand knowledge of diversity, equity, and

different hiring initiatives, or you’ve had to sit through one too many DEI training sessions that
didn’t speak to the realities of your experience. Your work, which will touch on data science and
project management, will lay the groundwork for our company’s technical research practice by
helping us scale and automate our survey analysis process! This is a unique opportunity to
create and grow into your ideal role—be it as an individual contributor, Lead Researcher, Data
Science Manager, Product Manager, or something else.

Join ​our team​ and launch a first of its kind Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) solution to help HR
professionals build the world’s most inclusive workplaces.
