About the Role: Analytics & Data Science

Skills

We are looking for a Decision Scientist with strong analytical problem-solving skills to translate customer and business data into actionable decisions and strategies across lending, insurance, mutual funds, and payments. This role will focus on:

  • Driving insights → actions (who to target, what to offer, when, via which channel)
  • Building strong BI + measurement + experimentation foundations to scale learning and performance
  • Using an AI-first approach to accelerate analysis, automate repeatable work, and enable faster decisioning with appropriate controls

Key Responsibilities

  • • Own end?to?end problem solving: translate business questions into analytical approaches and actionable recommendations.
  • • Build and automate BI frameworks (dashboards, KPIs, cohorts) to track funnel, campaign, and channel performance.
  • • Drive acquisition, upsell & cross-sell strategies through customer segmentation, targeting, and Next Best Action / Offer (NBA/NBO) frameworks across channels
  • • Design and analyse experiments (A/B, champion–challenger) to quantify impact and drive continuous improvement.
  • • Deliver advanced analytics (propensity, churn indicators, LTV proxies) and partner for deployment into business workflows.
  • • Leverage AI-first approaches to accelerate analysis, automate workflows, and embed data-driven decisioning into business processes.
  • • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and guide junior analysts to ensure high-quality, structured outputs and adoption of insights.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s/Master’s in Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, Economics, Data Science, or other quantitative disciplines.
  • 3–9 years of experience in analytics/decision science/business analytics (financial services preferred; customer/channel/campaign analytics exposure is a plus).
  • Strong hands-on skills in SQL + Python (PySpark preferred); comfort working with large datasets on cloud/legacy environments.
  • Solid understanding of measurement, experimentation, and analytical problem solving; ability to convert insights into clear business actions.
  • AI-first mindset: practical experience using AI-assisted tools to improve productivity and analytics throughput, with awareness of safe/compliant usage of GenAI with enterprise data.
  • Strong communication skills — ability to present structured insights and recommendations to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to guide junior analysts (review outputs, suggest approaches, raise quality bar) while remaining a strong individual contributor.

Why join ABCD

  • Be part of a 3-year-old startup within the Aditya Birla Capital ecosystem— shape and build the analytics foundation from scratch with the agility of a startup and the scale, trust, and resources of a large enterprise.
  • Own a high-impact charter—define the customer analytics and decisioning roadmap and see your work directly move acquisition, cross-sell, and engagement metrics.
  • Solve problems across multiple businesses and journeys (lending, insurance, investments, payments) with rich customer data and omni-channel touchpoints.
  • Build, mentor, and scale a strong analytics/data science team and shape best practices in experimentation, measurement, and model governance.
