The Role

As a Data Scientist at Trillium, you will be the primary analytics driver responsible for developing dashboards, reports, models, and exploratory studies that surface actionable insights for leadership, traders, and cross-functional teams such as Finance, HR, and Operations. You’ll bring a researcher’s mindset—framing hypotheses, testing ideas, and applying statistical rigor—to uncover signals that shape strategy and performance.

To date, Trillium’s analytics efforts have been lean but highly effective, delivering strong value through targeted reporting and analysis. As our business grows and our data becomes more interconnected across trading, risk, HR, and finance, we are expanding the scope and sophistication of our analytics efforts.

Reporting to our Managing Director of Trading, you’ll work cross-functionally with technologists, traders, and business stakeholders.
