Key Job Descriptions and Career Paths to Guide Hiring and Develop Teams

Though countless businesses rely on data professionals, many people don’t understand what data science is, or what a data scientist really does. In fact, leaders and hiring managers often use the “data scientist” title to hire for vastly different roles in the field.

This lack of clarity leads to vague job descriptions that attract the wrong candidates, no clear career-advancement path for data professionals, and internal inefficiencies that hurt business goals.

To solve for this, the Data Science Standards Board, a group of data leaders across the entertainment, finance, health, technology, and information industries, aims to establish a clear set of standards across data science tools and technologies to help guide individuals and employers toward the universal and unbiased competencies that drive success.
