With nearly 340,000 members in 180 countries, SHRM touches the lives of more than 362 million workers and their families globally. Summary This role exists to answer one question independently: do the synthetic-audience and automated systems actually perform as claimed? It is a verification-and-validation function drawn from data science, closer to model validation, ML evaluation, and the independent V&V discipline used in regulated and safety-critical software than to market research. The V&V Data Scientist will design and run the evaluation that benchmarks system output against ground-truth data, owns the accuracy metrics and error bounds, and certifies fitness for use, working independently of the engineer who builds the models. The separation of duties is the point: the builder does not grade their own work.
