Remote Data Science Project Manager

Lead Data-Driven Transformation Remotely

What happens when project leadership meets data fluency? You deliver solutions that drive business clarity, not just charts. As our next Remote Data Science Project Manager, you won’t just track timelines—you’ll shape the strategic heartbeat behind every analytics initiative. Whether it’s coordinating model rollouts, simplifying stakeholder expectations, or unblocking your team’s momentum, you’ll make complexity feel more manageable and actionable.

This isn’t about guarding a Gantt chart. It’s about empowering data scientists, engineers, and product partners to execute with focus. You’ll bring agile leadership to projects that influence decision-making across marketing, finance, operations, and customer experience.

Your Impact as a Data Science Project Manager

Strategic Project Ownership

Guide project lifecycles from intake through deployment, transforming ideas into measurable outcomes. Your insight helps prioritize what matters—will this model reduce churn, increase operational efficiency, or empower better forecasting? Delivery stays focused on the results stakeholders care about.

Orchestrating High-Performance Teams

Champion momentum by facilitating sprint planning, roadmap prioritization, and continuous communication between product, analytics, and engineering. Partner with machine learning experts, analysts, and visualization specialists to ensure every handoff is seamless.

Technical Empathy in Every Decision

Understand data workflows well enough to translate blockers without overstepping. Differentiate between a delayed ETL pipeline and a model needing retraining. Escalate or shift scope when necessary—and explain it in plain language to any audience.

Stakeholder Engagement and Alignment

Turn status updates into strategic signals. Your communication reduces noise, boosts confidence, and helps teams course-correct before minor issues become big ones. You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom or Slack.

Enabling Accountability and Autonomy

Build frameworks that help people self-manage: shared dashboards, defined OKRs, and backlog grooming that reflect real priorities. Your leadership creates clarity, not overhead.
