Job description

Join to apply for the Data Scientist role at Zipcar .

About The Role

As our Data Scientist, you’ll be responsible for building and scaling models that support our core business areas : fleet planning, pricing strategy, member segmentation, and demand forecasting. You’ll own and evolve key models, such as time series demand forecasting and customer geo‑segmentation classification, and help create new capabilities. Your work will directly influence capital investments, strategy, and how we serve our members across North America.

What You’ll Do

  • Improve fleet demand forecasting models
  • Build new predictive models for pricing sensitivity, member segmentation, and campaign targeting
  • Collaborate with Product, Pricing, Operations, Finance, and Marketing to integrate modeling into decision‑making
  • Translate complex modeling outcomes into clear, actionable recommendations
  • Monitor model performance, retrain as needed, and manage model lifecycle in production
  • Partner with Engineering to move models from prototype to production and partner with the Product team to prioritize future enhancements
  • Build trust in modeling outputs by documenting assumptions, limitations, and performance
  • Evangelize data science best practices across the company and help level up analytical maturity

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Statistics, Computer Science, Applied Math, or a related field and a minimum of 3 years of professional experience
  • Proven experience with predictive modeling, time series forecasting, pricing algorithms, or classification models
  • Strong Python skills for statistical modeling and knowledge of modern ML platforms (e.g. PyTorch / TensorFlow, scikit‑learn)
  • Advanced SQL and experience working with large‑scale cloud data warehouses (Redshift, Snowflake, etc.)
  • Experience deploying models in production environments (using tools like Airflow, dbt, or AWS), knowledge of machine learning model evaluation, and performance tuning best practices
  • Familiarity with software development workflows (version control, code review, reproducibility)
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills—able to clearly explain models to non‑technical audiences
  • Comfort working with ambiguity, unstructured problems, and evolving data sources
  • Nice‑to‑Haves

  • Experience with geospatial modeling, especially using Uber’s H3 library
  • Experience using Looker or other BI tools for exploratory data analysis or visualization
  • Background in transportation, location planning, urban analytics, or consumer marketplaces
  • Experience mentoring other Analysts or acting as a tech lead
  • Curiosity and interest in leveraging AI and LLM tools to improve workflows
  • Who are we?
