The presentation below by Carlos Somohano (founder of Data Science London) provides the best description of a Data Scientist that I've seen in some time:
Highlights include:

- On Slide 22, the essential skills of data scientists (and a platypus)
- On Slide 26, 10 things data scientists do
- On Slide 27, a data scientist toolkit (including R, of course)
- On Slides 37-38, the data science process
- On Slides 44-52, examples of data products
