- Deep dive performance and supply chain data to explain change, develop insights, and provide recommendations
- Establish strong working relationships with and partner with other functional teams across Fulfillment, Supply Chain, and Finance. Understand their needs, to maximize your ability to meet their needs with technical solutions.
- Write and present one-page proposals to gain stakeholder buy-in for new models, and white papers that clearly explain the assumptions, results, and business recommendations of implemented models. Design clear and concise updates and visualizations at detail levels appropriate to the audience.
What You’ll Need:
- 5+ years of experience developing and deploying optimization, machine learning, and/or predictive models in fast-paced environment
- Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Data Science, Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or equivalent field

- Hands-on industry experience developing, validating, and deploying machine learning models to solve complex business problems, including feature selection, model evaluation, and performance monitoring.
- Hands-on industry experience building and deploying large-scale mathematical optimization models (LP, MILP, etc.) in production using Gurobi (strongly preferred) or similar solvers.
- Ability to translate complex analysis and data science concepts into ‘plain English’ and simple business recommendations.
Nice to Have:
- Experience in a supply chain, logistics, or e-commerce environment.
