- Help develop practical AI-enabled statistical workflows, while ensuring appropriate validation, traceability and human statistical oversight.
- Support client meetings, proposals and bid defenses and help identify opportunities where broader Valos capabilities can solve sponsor problems.
- Contribute to new methodologies, processes and statistical capabilities across Valos.
