The data scientist is part analyst, part artist: comfortable working as a software engineer and a quantitative researcher; the Data Scientist is capable of staring at data and spotting trends, wanting to learn and bring change to an organization.
The data scientist explores and examines data from multiple disparate sources and sifts through all incoming data with the goal of discovering a previously hidden insight, which in turn can provide a competitive advantage or address a pressing business problem. The data scientist does not simply collect and report on data, but also looks at it from many angles, determines what it means, then recommends ways to apply the data. The data scientist is inquisitive: exploring, asking questions, doing 'what if' analyses, questioning existing assumptions and processes. Armed with data and analytical results, the data scientist then communicates informed conclusions and recommendations across an organization's leadership structure.
