As the more senior data analyst/ML person I've found myself taking on that role more and more. I've been 'relegating' the hands on modeling to the more junior members of the team, taking only a more supervisory/mentoring role when it comes to modelling. Quite frankly the modeling job is a lot easier and is more suitable for people fresh out of school, as it aligns more with what they've been studying. Data collection/cleaning/labeling etc. and generating good data sets that solve the problem we're facing requires a lot more domain knowledge and experience, and quite frankly I'm a lot better and faster at it compared to a freshly minted Masters/PhD student. I've seen far more ML projects fail because they couldn't get the right data set, and very few fail because they couldn't find the right model. So I'm getting more and more convinced that getting the data set right should be the primary responsibility of the most senior member(s) of the project team.
