The Associate Data Scientist role at Gartner involves using statistical analysis, machine learning, data preparation and visualisation to support research, business insights and evidence-based decision-making. Candidates would typically need a degree in data science, statistics, mathematics, computer science or a related discipline, along with practical experience using Python or R, SQL, analytical libraries and reporting tools. Strong problem-solving, communication and presentation skills are expected, as the role requires explaining technical findings to non-technical stakeholders. Gartner would also value curiosity, attention to detail, teamwork, commercial awareness and the ability to manage multiple projects in a research-driven environment.
