Data science careers at Deloitte

The faces of data science at Deloitte

What are data scientists like? They’re as unique and varied as the stories they tell with data. The truth is, there’s no single type of data scientist. Our data science professionals have an array of interests and passions that attracted them to the field, and they are empowered to create their own paths forward.

Here are some of the data scientists that call Deloitte home:

The data science thrill-seeker

Many children dream of riding the roller coasters at Disneyworld—but not many dream of taking the plunge into the world of data science as a career. One consultant began to think of a career in data science after a talk on analytics by Disney's head of operations research. Learning about the inner workings of Disneyworld sparked an interest and led to a career in data science at Deloitte.

The data science numbers lover

To some of us, numbers are numbers. But to one Deloitte manager, it was that first college statistics class that hooked her on everything data. The idea that data can make meaning of the world was something so intriguing that it became a quest, a passion, and ultimately a career.

The data science super modeler

Sometimes, data scientists enter the field because they've already dabbled in data in a related discipline. That's the case for one of our data science consultants who studied computer science, then entered the workforce supporting analytics implementations. A fascination with building data models led to an interest in predictive modeling and data mining.

The data science humanitarian

Helping people was a source of inspiration for one analyst. The ability to build models that could turn volumes of data into insights, approaches, and solutions that could help many people was too powerful to ignore.
