Statistician
Statisticians apply statistical methods and models to real world problems to create actionable insights.

Statisticians use statistical theory and techniques to collect, interpret and analyse quantitative data to produce useful statistics
Keywords that highlight trends, relationships or patterns in data. They are highly numerate and have an excellent understanding of statistical
computing programs and packages. They collect and manipulate data, leverage computer systems and integrate algorithms to
inform their actions.
Statistical Modelling
Statisticians record and present their findings using a variety of communication tools and techniques, to inform decision making,
policies and programs. They develop statistical reports and insights.

Machine Learning Statisticians work in partnership with data users, other data professionals and business domain experts.
