My goal is to add people to the team who have experience with formal data analysis, which generally entails probabilistic and statistical modeling, experimental design and analysis, causal modeling, and explanatory machine learning. I would expect anyone who can do those things is proficient with the standard tools, like Python, SQL, and Tableau. One of the main challenges I have faced is that most of the contractors I have interviewed equate building visualizations and dashboards to analysis, when that’s actually just the starting point. Data exploration is essential, but insufficient to derive robust insights. I am looking for someone who has this same perspective and knows how to use the appropriate techniques to derive robust insights.
