What is a Data Scientist at Workiva?
The Data Scientist role at Workiva is a pivotal position that sits at the intersection of complex financial reporting, cloud platform scalability, and intelligent automation. Workiva is not just a SaaS provider; it is the backbone for thousands of organizations globally—including a vast majority of the Fortune 500—who rely on the Wdesk platform for connected reporting, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data management, and compliance.
In this role, you are not simply building models in a vacuum. You are expected to drive product innovation by leveraging data to solve intricate problems regarding document processing, anomaly detection in financial data, and user behavior analytics. You will work within cross-functional teams to embed intelligence into the platform, making compliance simpler and more accurate for users. The work you do directly impacts how major corporations communicate their most critical data to the world.
Candidates drawn to this position should be prepared for a culture that values innovation, transparency, and inclusivity. Workiva is renowned for its supportive environment, and the Data Scientist role reflects this: you will be encouraged to experiment, share knowledge, and solve problems collaboratively rather than competitively.
