ADP is hiring a Lead Data Scientist:
- Are you looking for a role where you can leverage your skills and passion for innovative technology to make an impact to the business?
- Do you enjoy a challenge which demands you flex creative and logical problem-solving skills?
Well, this may be the role for you. Ready to design what’s next?
In this role you will take ownership for scaling data science initiatives focused on behavior analytics to empower our associates and provide a personalized service experience to our clients. Your impact will grow as you bring these solutions to life across multiple businesses. This role will also be responsible to support a variety of analytics projects leveraging your skills in NLP, Python and SQL.
No two days are the same. You’ll collaborate closely with multiple stakeholders to identify, design, develop and implement embedded analytics solutions. You’ll lead the design and implementation of data-driven solutions to address small business problems. Develop and deploy machine learning models to improve business processes and outcomes. Communicate complex analytical findings in a clear and concise manner to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in data science and machine learning.
To thrive in this role, you will be enthusiastic about the potential of advanced analytics and have direct experience and/or training. You will thrive working through technical issues with other data scientists and engineers to solve critical problems. You will have broad responsibility for all aspects of program success including troubleshooting issues, testing, quality control and overcoming production roadblocks. While you will have support across our Analytics team, you will be ultimately responsible for delivering successful end results.

- Strong programming skills in Python, R, or similar languages.
- Proficiency in data manipulation and analysis using SQL and other tools (Databricks, AWS).
- Strong understanding of statistical methods and data modeling techniques, including neural networks.
- Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, PowerBI, advanced Excel).
- Proven experience in crafting, testing and deploying ML projects in Python with keen focus on eliciting optimal outputs.
- Experience working directly with business stakeholders to understand needs and translate into data science requirements, techniques, and solutions.
- Communicate complex analytical findings in a clear and concise manner to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Solid understanding of LLM and GenAI is a plus.
HOW YOU’LL STAND OUT:
- Experience in GenAI and Machine Learning.
YOU’LL LOVE WORKING HERE BECAUSE YOU CAN:
- Have courageous team collaboration. Courage comes from how associates are willing to have difficult conversations, speak up, be an owner, and challenge one another’s ideas to find the best solution.
- Deliver at epic scale. We deliver real user outcomes using strong judgment and good instincts. We’re obsessed with the art of achieving simplicity with a focus on client happiness and productivity.
- Be surrounded by curious learners. We align ourselves with other smart people in an environment where we grow and elevate one another to the next level. We encourage our associates to listen, stay agile, and learn from mistakes.
- Act like an owner – doer. Mission-driven and committed to leading change, you will be encouraged to take on any challenge and solve complex problems. No tasks are beneath or too great for us. We are hands-on and willing to master our craft.
- Give back to others. Always do the right thing for our clients and our community and humbly give back to the community where we live and work. Support our associates in times of need through ADP’s Philanthropic Foundation.
