About the role

Key Responsibilities

  • Modeling & Forecasting:

Develop and maintain predictive models across supply chain and inventory initiatives — including forecasting models, classification, regression, clustering, and segmentation tasks.

  • Optimization & Simulation:

Build and refine models for network optimization, inventory allocation, sourcing, and internal transfers — using discrete optimization, simulation, and heuristic/metaheuristic techniques.

  • Exploratory Analysis & Feature Development:

Use EDA and statistical analysis to develop features, understand drivers of performance, and improve model design.

  • Time Series Analysis:

Design, test, and deploy time series models for demand forecasting, product performance tracking, and lifecycle modeling.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Work closely with engineering, product, and operations partners to frame problems, communicate insights, and translate models into decisions and tools.

  • Tooling & Automation:

Build scalable pipelines and decision-support tools using Python, Spark, and cloud-based infrastructure.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Operations Research, or a related field
  • 5+ years of experience building and deploying models in a production or operational environment
  • Proficiency in Python (Pandas, Scikit-learn, Num Py) and SQL; experience with Spark or other distributed frameworks
  • Demonstrated experience with supervised learning (regression, classification), unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction), and model evaluation techniques
  • Strong background in time series forecasting, including both classical (e.g., ARIMA, exponential smoothing) and ML-based methods (e.g., XGBoost, LSTM, DeepAR)
  • Experience applying discrete optimization (e.g., MIP, constraint solvers, genetic algorithms) to real-world problems
  • Familiarity with simulation-based modeling and tradeoff analysis
  • Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Superset, Tableau) and stakeholder-facing communication

Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex modeling approaches to technical and non-technical audiences
