About the Role
We are looking for a Data Scientist to join the Global Data Science & AI team and support the Data & AI function in driving strategic business decisions through advanced analytics solutions designed for production and scale. The team is responsible for addressing a wide range of business questions by applying sophisticated statistical and data science techniques, working closely with business stakeholders across multiple categories and geographies.
This role offers the opportunity to contribute to high impact analytics projects, collaborate with cross‑functional partners, and translate complex data into actionable insights that inform decision making at both global and regional levels. Based at the Alba offices, the role offers the possibility to work remotely up to two days per week.
Main Responsibilities
* Analyze a variety of data sources, including sales, marketing, media, promotions, pricing, and macroeconomic indicators, and develop statistical models to answer business questions coming from multiple stakeholders across categories and geographies.
* Develop, test, and roll out statistical and machine‑learning models to support data‑driven decision making, working closely with IT, business stakeholders, and other roles within the Data & AI function. Depending on project needs, collaborate with external agencies as well as data and solution providers.
* Design and implement procedures to clean, structure, and classify data from disparate sources such as retail sell‑out, e‑commerce sales, digital shelf metrics, shopper behaviour data, consumer surveys, marketing data, and other third‑party datasets, ensuring data readiness for modeling and reporting.
* Script automation workflows for analytical pipelines and apply MLOps principles across the model lifecycle, including deployment, monitoring, and drift detection.
* Work in Power BI to visualize analytical results for business stakeholders and, in some cases, design and test UI solutions that enable users to independently run models and explore results.
* Build and optimize GenAI applications to address different business needs.
* Collaborate, exchange ideas, share knowledge, and contribute to the continuous development of analytics capabilities within the organization.
About You
* Hold a master’s degree in a quantitative discipline such as Mathematics, Econometrics, Statistics, Engineering, or a related field, and have previous experience in applied data science roles, ideally within an FMCG manufacturing environment.
* Have a solid understanding of statistical modelling techniques and advanced analytical concepts, including regression, classification, text mining, and ensemble methods such as Random Forest.
* Be comfortable working with Python, SQL, and Power BI to visualize analytical results and support business stakeholders.
* Experience working with external data sources such as Nielsen, Circana, and consumer surveys, together with an understanding of measurement methodologies and familiarity with GenAI concepts and LLM integration, will be considered an asset.
* Be fluent in English and possess strong communication skills, enabling you to interact effectively with business stakeholders and interpret analytical results from a business perspective.
