How you will contribute You will: Define requirements for analysis in a given business area and perform detailed analysis and identify trends defined in the requirements Identify patterns and help the business react to changing business conditions Perform root-cause analysis and interpret data Work with large amounts of data such as facts, figures, and mathematics/formulas and undertake analytical activities and delivers analysis outputs in accordance with customer needs and conforming to established standards Understand and be involved with aspects of the data science process As the investigator on the data science team, you will apply your knowledge of languages and pull data out of SQL databases, using Tableau/Power BI type tools, and producing basic data visualizations and reporting dashboards What you will bring A desire to drive your future and accelerate your career and the following experience and knowledge: Knowledge of Microsoft Excel, Power BI, SQL,R, Python, SAS software, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Tableau, Google AdWords, statistical software Moderate knowledge in math and statistical skills, strong business acumen, moderate computer science/coding skills Develop key performance indicators and create visualizations of the data Utilize business intelligence and analytics tool More about this role You will represent and communicate data requirements to help us understand our data assets and the relationships among them. You will investigate, analyze and scope data requirements to support the development of data integration, data retrieval and reusable data sets. What you need to know about this position: The Data Scientist will be responsible for advanced forecasting methodologies for demand forecasting to generate better forecasting results in terms of accuracy and bias Determine, create and maintain the best Statistical models be to be used, by considering SKU demand behavior using segmentation strategy, to generate high quality demand statistical forecast with low forecast error and bias Refine forecasting models, by reviewing forecast performance and incorporating feedback from the Demand Planner, to improve forecast error and bias metrics Analyze the model performance every month / week where MAPE (Main Absolute Percentage Error) is deteriorating and post process the output and if required finetune the output Propose additional strategies to have a better code (efficient or more accurate) to execute in Databricks. Collaborate with Demand Planners to provide explainability of models and gather feedback to improve the models Lead, develop, and deploy some algorithms built on databricks that help to the predictive process to be more efficient and accurate.a a high-qualitymonth/weekpost-processmore , fine-tuneDatabrickswill you bring What extra ingredients you will bring: Lead the statistical forecasting process to provide the business a statistical base forecast for its demand planning process. Lead some continuous improvement projects to get more efficient, robust, and accurate models to predict. Analyse business requirements as a guide for data modelling and apply data analysis, design, modelling, and quality assurance techniques, based on a detailed understanding of business processes, to establish, modify or maintain data structures and associated components (entity descriptions, relationship descriptions, attribute definitions Manage the iteration, review and maintenance of data requirements and data models and you will assist in creating the sematic layer of data Choose a suitable data modeling approach for each project, such as by assessing the suitability of existing data models and build data models with the flexibility to change when business requirements change Reconcile multiple logical source models into a single, logically consistent model and you will ensure that the proposed model follows data architecture guidelines and best practices Design, build, implement and/or maintain Python/PySpark algorithms to execute predictive analysis which help to improve planning processes. Analyse code, define and implement strategies to have more accurate and efficient results A desire to drive your future and accelerate your career and the following experience and knowledge: Extensive experience in data modeling in a large complex business with multiple systems Ability to simplify complex problems and communicate them to a broad audience Design, build, implement and/or maintain Python/PySpark algorithms to execute predictive analysis which help to improve planning processes.
