Data Scientist (Contract-to-hire)

Brooklyn, NY 11221

Posted: 10/10/2025 Category: Data Science Job Number: 23766

Job Description

Title: Data Scientist (Contract-to-Hire)
Location: NYC
Compensation: Commensurate with experience
Contact: Lindsey Bartlett - lbartlett@smithhanley.com 

Our client is reimagining how brands understand people. Blending quant + qual into something faster, smarter, and more human. We’re looking for a quantitative data analyst who loves getting hands-on with messy survey data; cleaning, structuring, and uncovering meaningful insights that shape smarter storytelling.

Why this role is unique:
You’ll start hands-on with tactical quant work but grow into shaping how human + AI-powered insights come to life in an automated reporting environment.

In the near term, you’ll:

  • Manage and clean raw survey datasets (Excel, SPSS, etc.)

  • Build data maps, recodes, and variables; ensure data accuracy and vendor accountability

  • Create crosstabs and foundational analyses for client deliverables

  • Translate cleaned data into clear, usable findings and visuals

In the potential longer term, as our analysis platform evolves, this role will:

  • Embed with the development team to contribute to automated reporting logic

  • Explore creative, out-of-the-box segmentation and AI-driven analytics

  • Help bridge traditional quant rigor with emerging GenAI methodologies

You are:

  • Fluent in quantitative survey analysis (Excel, SPSS, or R/Python/SQL welcome, but tools are secondary to curiosity and rigor)

  • Comfortable communicating with internal teams and occasionally client-facing

  • Analytical yet imaginative; able to question the “what ifs” in the data
     

Why this role is unique:
You’ll start hands-on with tactical quant work but grow into shaping how human + AI-powered insights come to life in an automated reporting environment.
