Jobs in Data Science & Business Management

Companies around the world are searching for people who have the unique skills and competencies to work effectively at the intersection of management and data science. We all know that data is the new oil in business and that it is revolutionizing society by bringing people closer together. That's why successful management in the digital age requires two skills: a mastery of data science and business analytics combined with a global management perspective. Once you've acquired these two skills, you'll be able to unlock the job market for yourself. Let's take a look together at what some of the jobs at the intersection of these two fields entail.

Business analyst 

Business analysts have a good understanding of how data-oriented technologies work and how to deal with large amounts of data. They separate high-value data from low-value data. In other words, they recognize how data can be linked to actionable insights for business growth. Business analysts need not only business-related knowledge but also good intuition and decision-making skills.

Data analyst

Data analysts are both thinkers and doers, responsible for a variety of tasks, including visualizing, preparing, and processing massive amounts of data. They must also perform queries on databases from time to time. One of the most important skills of a data analyst is optimization. Namely, they have to create and modify algorithms that can extract information from the largest databases and convert it into useable information.

Data scientist

Data scientists transform raw data into valuable insights that a business needs to grow and compete. They interpret and analyze data from a variety of sources to develop imaginative solutions to problems. The role of the data scientist has evolved and expanded from that of the data analyst. While a business analyst organizes and analyzes the data collected by an organization, a data scientist applies their strong business acumen and is able to communicate findings to both business and IT leaders in a way that influences how an organization addresses a business challenge.

Data architect

Data architects define key database architecture solutions and data management techniques. Specifically, they build complex computer database systems that are accessible, useful, and secure. They help define the intended use of the database and then create a plan for developing, testing, and maintaining the database.

Statistician 

Statisticians have a thorough understanding of statistical theories and data organization. Not only do they extract valuable insights from data clusters, but they also help develop new methods for engineers to use.

Market Research Analyst

They compile complex reports, spreadsheets, and surveys to gather and analyze important market information that can help a company best market its product or service. Data may include consumer demographics, spending habits and sales trends, needs, interests and preferences.

Project manager

Project managers use data-driven business knowledge to plan, budget, and oversee the company's projects. They must also be well organized and possess excellent leadership and critical thinking skills.
