Lead Data Scientist

Philips Personal Health is transforming its Integrated Supply Chain (ISC) Analytics landscape into a connected, AI-enabled, enterprise-scale analytics ecosystem powered by Azure Data Lake (ADL), advanced analytics, and AI.

As part of this transformation, we are looking for a highly hands-on Lead Data Scientist to help build the next generation of Supply Chain Analytics and Decision Intelligence capabilities.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex business problems using data, analytics, machine learning, and scalable data ecosystems. The role will work closely with Supply Chain, Commercial Analytics, Digital & IT, and Data Engineering teams to develop advanced analytics solutions and scalable AI-driven capabilities across the ISC domain.

Unlike traditional reporting-focused analytics roles, this position requires strong technical depth, strong problem-solving capability, and the ability to work directly with enterprise-scale datasets, modern cloud data platforms, and advanced analytics methodologies.

Work closely with Data Engineering and Digital & IT teams on ingestion and transformation of ISC data into the PH Azure Data Lake ecosystem.

Support development of scalable Bronze-Silver-Gold data models and reusable analytics layers.

Contribute to building standardized and scalable data foundations across ISC analytics.

Ensure high data quality, consistency, and reliability across analytics solutions.

AI & Automation

Support development of AI/GenAI-enabled analytics capabilities and decision support systems.

Contribute to intelligent automation initiatives across analytics workflows.

Help enable conversational and agentic AI use cases within supply chain analytics ecosystems.

Support scalable semantic modeling and analytics enablement initiatives.

How We Work Together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.

Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities.

Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.

This role is an office role.
