About the Role

About the Opportunity

We’re looking for an experienced analytics professional to support retail-focused initiatives involving forecasting and pricing . This role sits at the intersection of advanced analytics and business problem-solving, with an emphasis on developing analytical approaches and translating model outputs into meaningful decisions for business stakeholders.

What You’ll Work On

• Support analytics initiatives focused on retail forecasting and pricing
• Develop and apply forecasting, time-series, and machine learning approaches to business problems
• Analyze factors influencing consumer demand and business performance
• Translate analytical and model outputs into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders
• Help define analytical approaches when problems or requirements are still evolving
• Partner with business stakeholders to connect analytical findings to product, marketing, planning, and commercial decisions
• Contribute in fast-moving environments where teams may need to test ideas, iterate, and demonstrate value quickly

What We’re Looking For

• Strong hands-on experience in data science, predictive modeling, forecasting, or advanced analytics
• Proficiency with Python and SQL
• Experience with time-series forecasting and machine learning techniques
• Familiarity with tools and approaches such as XGBoost, APIs, cloud platforms such as Azure, and lightweight model deployment
• Experience applying analytics to business problems, ideally within retail, consumer, B2C, pricing, demand, marketing, or related domains
• Ability to work through ambiguous business problems and determine an appropriate analytical approach
• Strong communication skills, particularly the ability to explain technical results and translate them into business recommendations

The strongest candidates will bring a combination of technical depth and business orientation . You should be comfortable going hands-on with data and modeling while also being able to step back, understand the business objective, and communicate what the analysis means for decision-makers.

Because the work supports retail-oriented projects, experience understanding consumer behavior, demand drivers, promotions, forecasting, or pricing would be particularly relevant.
