What You Will Be Doing

As a Senior Data Scientist, you'll be the technical engine behind some of our most complex and consequential client engagements in Canada. You'll move fluidly between data exploration, model development, and executive communication — bringing scientific rigor to business problems and translating results into strategies that clients actually implement.

This isn't a role where you hand off findings and walk away. You'll be embedded with clients across Canada's most dynamic sectors — financial services, retail, CPG, telecoms, media, and the public sector — co-owning outcomes and ensuring that the models you build don't just perform in a test environment, they create real, lasting impact in production. You'll also be a technical anchor for our Canadian team, setting standards, mentoring junior data scientists, and contributing to the methodologies that define Artefact's edge in this market.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing and building end-to-end machine learning and statistical models that solve high-stakes business problems — from framing the question to deploying the solution
• Conducting rigorous exploratory data analysis to uncover patterns, anomalies, and opportunities that inform both technical and strategic decisions
• Translating complex model outputs and analytical findings into clear, compelling narratives for senior client stakeholders — making the technical accessible without dumbing it down
• Partnering with client teams and data engineers to ensure models are production-ready, scalable, and built on clean, reliable data pipelines
• Defining the analytical approach for client engagements — selecting the right methods, tools, and frameworks for the problem at hand, not just the ones you're most comfortable with
• Contributing to new business proposals — helping articulate Artefact's technical capabilities and translating data science into clear client value
• Developing thought leadership and internal methodologies — publishing research, building reusable frameworks, and raising the technical bar across the Canadian practice
• Mentoring junior data scientists and analysts, actively investing in the team's technical depth and growth

What We Are Looking For

We want someone who is as comfortable whiteboarding a modeling strategy with a client's Chief Analytics Officer as they are debugging a pipeline before a critical delivery. You've shipped models that people actually use. You've sat in rooms where the business stakes were real, and you've delivered. You know the difference between a technically elegant solution and a practically useful one — and you always choose useful.

You'll arrive ready with the following:

• 4–7 years of hands-on experience in data science, machine learning, or advanced analytics — with a demonstrable track record of end-to-end model delivery in a client-facing or high-stakes business environment
• Advanced degree (MSc or PhD) in a quantitative field — statistics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, or equivalent; strong undergraduate candidates with exceptional experience will be considered
• Expert-level proficiency in Python and/or R; you write clean, maintainable, production-quality code
• Deep expertise in machine learning and statistical modeling — regression, classification, clustering, time series, NLP, recommendation systems, and/or deep learning, depending on your specialization
• Strong command of SQL and experience working with large-scale datasets across cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure)
• Experience with MLOps practices — model versioning, monitoring, deployment pipelines, and productionization — is a significant differentiator
• Exceptional communication skills — you can explain a gradient boosting model to a CFO and a business case to an ML engineer, and both conversations land
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical workstreams and mentor junior team membersBilingualism (English/French) is a significant asset, particularly for client engagement in Quebec and federal government contexts
• Consulting or client-facing experience is highly desirable; the ability to manage ambiguity, scope problems, and deliver under pressure is essential
• Familiarity with Canada's data privacy regulatory landscape — PIPEDA, Quebec's Law 25, and sector-specific frameworks in financial services and healthcare — is a meaningful differentiator
• Exposure to marketing analytics, customer analytics, fraud detection, risk modeling, or demand forecasting within Canadian financial services, retail, or CPG is a strong asset

Why You Should Join Us

At this level, you're not just looking for a job — you're looking for the right environment to do your best work. Here's what makes Artefact different:

Variety that keeps you sharp. In a product role, you go deep on one problem. Here, you'll work across Canada's most dynamic industries and business functions — building the kind of range that makes exceptional data scientists truly exceptional. No two engagements are the same.

Your work actually ships. We have a relentless focus on adoption and impact. The models you build are designed from day one to live in production, influence decisions, and create measurable value — not to gather dust in a final report.

A global technical community, with local roots. With 2,000 data and AI specialists across 36 offices worldwide, you'll have access to some of the most sophisticated data science thinking on the planet — while building something meaningful right here in Canada. You'll bring global best practices to the Canadian market and contribute Canadian insights back to the world.

Founding team energy. We're building our Canadian practice, which means the standards, culture, and technical identity you help create now will define Artefact in this market for years to come. That's a rare opportunity at any stage of a career.

We are united by our values and strengthened by our hybrid expertise:

There is always a way — We're builders, diggers, and makers. Ideas only count if they get executed.
Client trust is won in the field — We show up where it matters, working side by side with our clients to solve what's real.
If not used, it is useless — We build for adoption and impact. True brilliance is measured by what changes, not what's delivered.
If not shared, our work is not done — Sharing knowledge is how we close the loop — for our clients and for each other.
We learn every day — In a field moving at the speed of light, intellectual curiosity isn't optional. It's survival.

Job Description

So, what will your new role look like?

As Head of Technology, your mission is to evolve Workleap’s engineering organization toward a more autonomous, efficient, and AI-enabled model. You will lead the Shared Tech group and help accelerate the organization’s execution by aligning and evolving key teams. The role spans three core functions, Product Ops, Data, and Security & Infrastructure, with a clear mandate: stabilize, clarify priorities, and increase velocity without compromising quality. You will shape the systems, platforms, and practices that enable product teams to deliver faster, with greater autonomy and impact, by leveraging AI and automation.

Responsibilities:

• Increase engineering velocity and impact by enabling teams to ship end-to-end value with minimal dependencies;
• Improve delivery performance through stronger deployment frequency, shorter lead times, and sustained production reliability;
• Reduce organizational friction by increasing team autonomy, simplifying workflows, and clarifying ownership;
• Accelerate delivery cycles and reduce manual effort through AI and automation embedded across development workflows;
• Increase the leverage of product teams through scalable platform capabilities across Product Operations, Data, and Security & Infrastructure;
• Strengthen accountability by aligning teams around production outcomes, customer impact, and end-to-end ownership;
• Elevate organizational performance by building strong technical leadership and high-performing teams.

What does your future team look like?   

You'll lead the Shared Tech group (~20 people): where we build the standards, the platforms, and the enabling infrastructure that serve both product lines (ShareGate and Workleap HR). You'll partner with the heads of each product line who own the product outcomes, and your mission is to make delivery dramatically faster.

The three pillars of your scope:

• Product Operations: Builder tooling, AI SDLC, observability, analytics, billing and subscription. Turn product activity into decisions and improve developer velocity.
• Data: Single trusted, AI-ready analytics backbone. Shared data models, governance, data science as a shared capability, AI quality foundations.
• Security & Infrastructure: Enterprise-grade trust without killing speed. Security architecture, compliance, incident response, infrastructure operations.

Your role will be to evolve this group from a support function into a true engine of engineering velocity and impact.

What are the next challenges awaiting your team?

Your mandate is clear: transform engineering into a builder organization that can deliver faster without compromising quality or trust. In the next phase, the team will need to:

• Enable more autonomous, end-to-end product delivery with fewer dependencies and handoffs;
• Embed AI and automation throughout the development lifecycle to reduce manual work and accelerate execution;
• Strengthen the engineering systems and platform foundations that increase impact per builder over time;
• Replace manual processes with scalable, automated platform capabilities;
• Reinforce ownership and accountability across teams.

The challenge is both technical and organizational: building systems that scale while changing how teams collaborate, operate, and deliver value. Success means creating an engineering organization that operates as a high-leverage system, where small teams can deliver outsized customer impact at market speed.

Qualifications 

• +8 years of experience in engineering leadership within a scaling or large-scale SaaS environment;

• Strong interest in modern engineering practices, particularly in AI-influenced development environments;
• Experience with the Microsoft / .NET ecosystem, or strong ability to ramp up quickly;
• Good understanding of French (written and spoken) required;
• Based in Montreal or able to travel regularly.

Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together.

So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale.

Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.

The Role

Square is building a best-in-class, high-impact field sales organization, and we are looking for an exceptional Territory Account Executive — someone who consistently exceeds expectations, takes full ownership of their territory, and brings Square’s mission of economic empowerment directly to the businesses that need it most.

This is a field-driven, execution-focused role designed for individuals who thrive in dynamic, demanding environments. You will spend most of your week out in the market — meeting businesses, conducting live demos, and closing deals with confidence. The pace is fast, the expectations are high, and your ability to operate strategically and decisively will determine your success.

You will serve as Square’s presence and competitive advantage in one of our highest-opportunity markets — responsible for building pipeline from the ground up, elevating Square’s visibility in your community, establishing high-value partnerships, and helping local businesses grow through our ecosystem of industry-leading software and hardware.

If you are motivated by impactful work, driven to outperform, and eager to join a high-performance team with high standards, this role is built for you.

You will:

Lead your market with disciplined, in-person execution

• Spend ~80% of your week in the field — walking your territory, engaging local businesses, and driving 50–60 targeted business visits each week.
• Run a full-cycle, self-sourced sales motion: generate leads, identify needs, deliver compelling demos, and close deals across Square’s full product suite.

Establish yourself as the go-to Square expert in your city

• Build strong, trust-based relationships with local sellers by being present, reliable, and value-driven.
• Partner cross-functionally to ensure a seamless onboarding experience and fast time-to-value for new sellers.
• Implement a disciplined referral strategy to turn every new customer into future opportunities.

Build a high-velocity pipeline from the ground up

• Develop a repeatable top-of-funnel engine through door-to-door outreach, community engagement, events, networking, and targeted partnerships.
• Work with channel partners to generate a consistent, high-quality referral stream that grows over time.

Master your verticals and sell with precision

• Build deep expertise in key verticals — including restaurants, retail, and services — to diagnose challenges and position the right Square solutions.
• Sell consultatively and competitively, staying proactive and strategic throughout the sales cycle.

Achieve exceptional results in a high-accountability environment

• Maintain strong operational rigor in Salesforce: track activity, manage pipeline, and forecast accurately.
