About the team

The Corporate Insights and Analyses team in SecurityScorecard is a new team with a new mission. Our goal is to apply data science techniques to internal data to improve company operations and produce data-oriented marketing content. We’ll do this by using statistical techniques (hypothesis tests, distribution modeling etc.), data science tools (SQL, Python, PySpark, Pandas etc.), and data visualization tools (Tableau, Bokeh etc.). We work hand-in-hand with other departments including marketing, product management, revenue operations, and sales.

• Provide actionable insights into company operations by linking different databases and providing analysis on the data. This will involve writing scripts (e.g. Python, PySpark, SQL), statistical analysis (e.g. correlation, significance tests, difference-in-difference), and data visualization (e.g. Bokeh, Altair). The results must be communicated back to stakeholders clearly and concisely.
• Create new marketing content using large-scale data. This may include; collating and combining threat data, company data, and vulnerability data; discovering underlying trends using data science methods; provide a compelling and convincing narrative based on data analysis. Build scripts and systems to monitor data quality and report on issues found. This may involve the use of probability distributions and data modeling.
• Produce reports on the company’s internal data for the executive team and others.
