Data Science Global Business Leader

As a Data Science Global Business Leader, you will serve as a global business partner and governance lead supporting NIQ’s most strategic clients. You will structure and oversee the handling of complex DSci-related inquiries and escalations, driving rigorous root cause analysis and documentation of resolution pathways with clarity and accountability. While regions retain ownership of client-level resolution, you will drive cross-regional alignment, identify recurring themes, and ensure common root causes are addressed in a sustainable and consistent manner. You will partner with Methods, Product, and Operations leaders to translate systemic issues into durable improvements that strengthen global credibility and methodological consistency. 

What you’ll do 

• Act as a strategic business partner to Commercial, Product, and Operations leaders in support of NIQ’s most strategic global clients. 

• Structure and oversee the handling of complex DSci-related inquiries and escalations, ensuring disciplined investigation, clear ownership, and documented root cause analysis by regional teams. 

• Provide authoritative technical and methodological guidance to internal teams and, where appropriate, to global clients. 

• Hold regional teams accountable for consistent application of DSci methodologies, statistical standards, and resolution documentation. 

• Identify recurring themes and systemic risk drivers across markets and elevate these to the appropriate functional leaders for structural resolution. 

• Partner with Methods, Product, and Operations to drive coordinated, sustainable solutions to common root causes. 

• Promote global consistency in interpretation of projection, weighting, estimation, and tolerance frameworks. 

• Contribute to the evolution of standardized escalation governance processes, documentation frameworks, and reporting visibility.
