• Support the development of data-driven features for pricing and promotion strategies to improve revenue and profitability. • Build, test, and maintain analytical models for demand forecasting, price sensitivity, and promotion performance with guidance from senior team members. • Apply data science, data analysis, machine learning, and statistical techniques to help solve retail business problems such as forecasting accuracy and promotion effectiveness. • Analyze structured and unstructured retail data to identify trends, understand customer behavior, and generate actionable insights. • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement and scale data solutions, and communicate findings through clear analysis and visualizations.

• Develop and implement machine learning models (classification, regression and segmentation) using a variety of Python libraries; • Validate machine learning models using diverse metrics and concepts such as confusion matrix, backtesting, out-of-time testing, train/test splits, cohorts, ROC-AUC and KS; • Handle data from different sources, consolidating it into usable structures for analysis. Data may not always be in the same environment or in the ideal format for model application; • Produce activity status updates as well as clear data process documentation to support solutions at the strategic level; • Create storytelling and prepare presentations to communicate modeling and analysis results; • Contribute to process changes by improving them through data to deliver measurable financial impact to the company; • Collaborate with Data Infrastructure, Data Engineering and Systems, and Process Engineering teams to integrate analytical solutions into existing internal tools and processes as effectively as possible; • Monitor and propose improvements in the area, targeting process enhancements related to activities, projects and initiatives to incorporate industry best practices.

• Take scoped engagements through staffing, production, QC, and delivery. Own timeline, throughput, and the delivered package across several concurrent projects at once. • Staff each project from the expert pool, brief and calibrate contributors, manage their output and utilization, and keep production moving without quality drift. • Run the QC structure on every deliverable — calibration layers, severity-weighted rubrics, deterministic verifiers, evidence maps — so each package survives buyer-side scrutiny before it ships. • Track output-per-contributor-week, flag bottlenecks early, and protect margin by managing expert hours against scope. • Keep the Strategic Project Lead and the Human Data Evals Lead informed on status, risk, and what shipped; surface anything that needs escalation before it becomes a delivery miss.
