Who you are:

We are always looking for amazing talent who can contribute to our growth and deliver results! Geotab is seeking an Insights & Integrations Consultancy Data Scientist who will be responsible for transforming complex data into clear, business-impactful insights that drive portfolio expansion, retention, and real-world outcomes for fleet operators around the world. This role sits at the intersection of data science, customer consultancy, and sustainability — where your ability to communicate the why behind the data matters as much as the analysis itself. If you love turning data into decisions and have a passion for sustainability and clean transportation — we would love to hear from you!

What you'll do:

As an Insights & Integrations Consultancy Data Scientist, your key area of responsibility will be partnering with strategic accounts to drive ecosystem expansion and retention — not just through technical analysis, but by translating that analysis into business impact that resonates with fleet managers, executives, and non-technical stakeholders.

• Collaborate with the Geotab revenue generating teams to identify and deliver effective solutions for customer challenges, by working closely with them and their partners, contributing to sales growth, ecosystem expansion and customer retention.

• Support Geotab's partner upskilling, driving them towards excellence to support customers across unique channels, using best practices, and leveraging a deep understanding of industry verticals.

• May be involved in developing and implementing proof of concepts. This involves creating a small-scale version of the solution to demonstrate its feasibility and effectiveness in the customer's environment.

• Staying updated with industry trends, competitor products, and market demands is crucial. Need to understand the broader landscape in which Geotab operates to position their solutions effectively.

• Keep accurate records of customer interactions, solution designs, and outcomes is important. This helps in creating case studies, improving processes, and maintaining a repository of successful solutions for reference.
