- Drive efforts around explanation of forecast trends, development of new accuracy metrics, and estimation of uncertainty
- Bring in new methodology to improve forecast responsiveness to the macro-environment, such as COVID and other economic changes
- Build ‘what-if’ analysis capabilities to allow business leaders to quantitatively encode and model their assumptions
We’re looking for someone who has:
- 5+ years experience working with and analyzing large data sets to solve problems
- A PhD or MS in a quantitative field (e.g., Statistics, Sciences, Economics, Engineering, CS)
- Expert knowledge of Python or R and SQL
- Strong knowledge of statistics and experimental design
- Prior experience working with time series models
