About Our Team
The Content and Data Analytics team is part of DataOps, which is an integral part of Global Operations at Elsevier. We provide data analysis services, primarily using Databricks, and mostly serve product owners and data scientists of Elsevier’s Research Data Platform. Our work contributes to the delivery of leading data analytics products for the world of scientific research, including Scopus and SciVal.
About the Role
A Data Analyst II should have a basic understanding of best practices and can execute on projects and initiatives with supervision from others. Individuals will create basic level insights and recommendations in their area of expertise. Individuals in this role will continue to provide support to the analytics team members and begin to lead analytics efforts with low complexity.
Responsibilities
This role is located within DataOps and supports data scientists working within the Domains of the Research Data Platform. Domains are functional units that are responsible for delivering one or more data products, often through data science algorithms, and supporting this work could lead to a wide range of different analytical activities.
For example, you may be asked to dive into large datasets to answer questions from product owners or data scientists; you may need to perform large-scale data preparation (dataprep) in order to test hypotheses or support prototypes; you may be asked to review the precision and recall of data science algorithms at scale and surface these as dashboard metrics.
You will need to have a keen eye for detail, good analytical skills, and expertise in at least one data analysis system. Above all, you will need curiosity, dedication to high quality work, and an interest in the world of scientific research and the products that Elsevier creates to serve it.
