Responsibilities

• Architect and maintain large, complex commercial datasets using SQL and dbt on BigQuery, and build, deploy, and monitor robust market-share and demand forecasting models to drive seven-figure decisions
• Build the predictive models and performance metrics that guide field operations, directly determining where and how field sales managers allocate their time to maximize store-level value
• Deploy LLMs and AI agents to classify unstructured commercial data (e.g., receipts, transactions) and build internal tools that democratize data access and enable stakeholders to answer their own questions

Skills
