About the team

The Analytics team is a part of the former Rubikloud company (recently acquired by Kinaxis), a machine learning software as a service company focused on solving complex problems for CPG and Retail clients in the planning and promotional space.

  • May perform additional projects upon request

What we are looking for

The ideal candidate will be a self-starter and use their passion for big data and analytics to provide insights around CPG and Retail businesses covering a range of topics. You will be responsible for conducting both recurring and ad hoc analysis internally and for our clients. If you love solving complex problems, analysing complex datasets, finding insights from data, and learning new technologies, this role is for you. You also meet the following requirements:

  • Proficient in SQL with hands-on experience with relational databases
  • Experience in Python is preferred but not required
  • Proficient working with Microsoft Office suite
  • Great communication skills
  • Analytical aptitude
  • Strong problem-solving skills

  • Previous experience working in fast paced environments
  • Studying Mathematics, Computer Science, Computer/Electrical Engineering, or related fields

Things that Would Definitely Help

  • Understanding of data science terminology
  • Experience working with major cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, and GCP)
  • Retail, E-Commerce, CPG or Supply Chain business background

What We Have to Offer

  • Challenging Work - We love solving highly complex problems. And as the global leaders in our industry, we never stop innovating—our work is never “done. That’s because across our teams and in all roles, every employee is empowered to bring their best ideas forward and to jump in and solve the problems they’re passionate about.
  • Great People - We take our work seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously! It’s in our DNA to celebrate, laugh, and have fun. We are stronger, together, when we are open, honest, and above all, real. Every person is valued here and plays an important role in our shared success.
  • Global Impact - As a global team spanning continents, boundaries, and cultures, every day we are inspired by the impact our work has on our colleagues, our customers, our communities, and the world at large.
  • Diversity, Equity and Inclusion - Diversity, equity and inclusion are more than words to us. They are the guiding principles for building a culture where we celebrate each others’ differences, continuously strive for equality and recognize that inclusion makes us stronger as individuals, a company and a global citizen.
